Thanks for your comments, and yes I guess I do feel proud, though all that digging hasn't changed my waistline :'(. Les, Luckily I only work 2/3 days a week, the rest of my time has been spent up the plot! Consequently, my house looks like a tip :o Haven't seen the kids under piles of laundry for weeks! ;D But the housework will always be there, the good weather wont! ;D
