Tim, there's a child in the lovely photo of your roses & tomatoes! :o I'm sure one of my gardening books has them listed as an official pest!!!!! :) Is he doing a bit of "live heading" in that top one?

Only joking, of course, what a cute kid!

He looks very intrested Tim, keep him at it, if you teach him half of what you know he will be a very clever chap when he grows up.

Wendy - no upset - just an explorer - can't let him out of your sight for one moment. More dangerous with the broom than the cobweb brush!

Weedbusta - you're SO right. And living next door is a blessing.

My favorite was helping Mummy shell peas..


I was eventually relieved of pea-shelling duties as few peas actually made it as far as the pan. ;)

Simple as that?

 weans (pronounced wains) is a scots term, probably something to do with weaning , but weans are weans from birth until you send them off into the great wild world with a suitcase and a pot of daffodils.  i don't know where other than in glasgow it's used, but it's the more common term for children. we also say 'wee yin', but wean is the more common term.

yes yes yes....very cute, but just check out your jungle!  Wowzers - looks like my idea of heaven!  No wonder he is nosing around in there.  When number one son was that age, he busied himself in my greenhouse and picked every single green tomato for me and brought them in to me in a pot....hmmmm....
