Not even not having to cut the grass?

Re: Winter

There is nothing I will miss about Winter. I'm a sun worshipper
And I love my garden, weeds and all. I find pulling weeds very therapeutic. I know, I'm sad

Re: Winter

I do work in Cheltenham Ben and we have just had the Cheltenham Races where you could see all the Ladies and Gents wandering round town in their finery, it is always lovely to see, dont know how on earth they walk in those shoes though. Thats the ladies.
I hope it is not too cold after your dogs have their winter coat clipped

We used to have a patio heater but never used it, we are well protected where we live and have a quite a sun trap.

My husband felt that way about weeding mesco - he even looked really chilled out when he was doing it as well!

Do you not go to the races shirley? Would you dress up for it if you did? I think I might enjoy a little tottering around dolled up to the nines!

Did the patio heater do any good? I've never worked out how they can heat a space if the space can escape in all directions!

Re: Winter

I don't think there is anything about winter which I miss when it is no longer upon us. I like spring best, summer is ok providing the temperature doesn't go much above 70F.
