I am keeping an ...Thank you for all your comments. I am keeping an eye on the rose and so far the growth which we cut back doesn't seem to be blackening, so I hope that is a good sign. I will keep you posted.<br /><br />Sharon - we brought home some paint cards from B&Q yesterday, and still couldn't match that colour, so I think I shall just paint that bay window in the slightly brighter yellow and pretend it's the natural light changing the colour! I have found a tiny bit of paint that IS the right colour so will cover the pillar to the side of the inglenook and hope it will cover properly.<br /><br />thelma - the Estonians - despite being here over 3 years - have barely a word of English, him especially. I doubt I would get any sense out of them. I will have a word with Next Door when I see him again. He has split up with his wife of 35 years (she finally had enough I presume!) and so isn't about the farm as much as he used to be.<br /><br />Susie - well, normal people might, but this crew are something else!<br /><br />Robin Mac - the week isn't so bad now - we have been working hard, although I had to rest up yesterday as I had some sort of 24 hour bug and ended up back in bed, but 12 hours in bed last night has helped and I am flat out again today.<br /><br />parsnip - neighbours is the one reason we will still go for a detached property away from them in our - final? - move. We like our privacy.<br /><br />Dawn - I will just buy another one when we move and start afresh. We fell in love with that cupboard the moment we saw it.<br /><br />Rowan - the relaxing bit doesn't seem to happen very often. There are just SO many things which need doing, especially in the garden as I've not been able to get out there much in June because of the pollen. Now I need to play catch-up.<br /><br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-13043558957386358512015-07-06T11:33:03.238-07:002015-07-06T11:33:03.238-07:00We too have awful neighbours, so I feel for you, y...We too have awful neighbours, so I feel for you, your rose is beautiful, I will keep every thing crossed for it and you. <br />Poppypatchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749159567150084975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-2428551168653631952015-07-06T06:38:45.691-07:002015-07-06T06:38:45.691-07:00As you know, I can well relate to the sadness over...As you know, I can well relate to the sadness over destroyed plants. In my case, at least the new owner of the property had the 'right' to do this--even though it seems heartless to me.<br />Next Door and his helpers sound like the sort who would register astonishment at any protests of wrong doing--not at all in tune with gardens or with the neighbors!<br />I do like your hanging cupboard--matching paint is a bother. I needed extra of a pale yellow last year, took in the sample card and the second mix didn't quite match the first.

If it completely dies off, the person that killed it ought to have to do the work to get rid of the remains.<br /><br />I enjoyed seeing your new flowers and that pretty cupboard.

What an awful thing to do though. You sound as though you've been really busy, I was exhausted just reading about your day! Hope you've managed a couple of relaxing hours this evening.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
