I was absolutely horrified by the price. Some fancy ones were nearly £200 !!!<br />Needless to say I came home empty handed and am dragging things around in dumpy bags :(<br />As for grockles, I find myself unable to say anything polite at the moment!Danielle Barlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570796614148198253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-700629359871364222011-04-22T12:47:28.278-07:002011-04-22T12:47:28.278-07:00WG - no footpath on G's land either . . .

Yesterday we watched from a distance as four walkers walked through our grass (which is growing well for silage) and then bent down the wire fence to get across, not even considering pulling it up again afterwards.
