He even scrambled up and over the front wall and followed me up the lane! That's why there are fences on top of the walls, if you saw them when you were here.

Aren't all puppies ;D we have a devon bank at the bottom on the garden which he has learned very quickly to climb, that way he has access to 2 gardens and a carpark, but I'm way ahead of him ;D Ron , I'll have to ask him

I went to check the path for frost damage, it only dropped to -3 degrees so I was confident it would be undamaged. I'm pleased to report the frost didn't hurt it at all and it has all gone off beautifully. Unfortunately Tonk's does have built in wet concrete radar. I look upon it as character ;D

When the boys built the concrete bases for the shed and greenhouse, I got them to sign their initials and put the date. Tonka has signed, but you should have put the date in case she didn't know it.

Hope they're OK, Rosie. I didn't get in the garden today - too wet. I am sooo stiff from doing too much yesteday, though! The tree is dormant so probably won't know it's been moved, it had only been in for 8 months so should be fine, the snowdrops are tough as old boots, but the ground is too hard to get them in just now. Will be back to the old house on Sunday so hopefully i will get the clematis and fuchsia out

Fingers crossed for you. If our soil is frozen, I dread to think what yours is like! I suspect it's only on the surface here this time, though - we've had three frosty nights in a row, but the temps have gone plus during the day.
