On second thorts, no way we could get a JCB to that spot.
Wifey says she'll cut a branch off for you and try to root it in some water, then we can send it to you once we get back, if you'd like!

Thanks for the generous offer but I think I will have to stick with trying to germinate some nuts.

Whatever you would like to do, but a cutting would be quicker methinks.

You are correct but that is a problem as I need the tree here to be able to take the cutting!!!

I think you replied before I edited the post to say we'd try and send you a cutting but having looked into it there is a lot more to it than would at first appear.
Frinstance to avoid the bitter ones you can't eat.
Also Wifey says she thinks hers was grafted onto (prolly) an apple tree root, which is wyy it has grown so fast, (5 years). But we are lucky in that our soil is exceptional, "brown earth" we think but has had nothing but sheep dooos on it for decades before we bought it. Also although we have loads of springs it also drains very well. All our fruit trees have grown totally mad, you'll have heard about the 250 kgs of apples.
Only prob we have is the worms in the apples, which wifey thinks we might have to spray for next year.

A few souls about here, wandering their way home ...

Light now but still cloudy and dull. We are promised a possible light shower or two with the odd burst of sun, time will reveal all.
Happy Sunday, folks.

Gud morning abody...

Have a nice day

Morning All
A cool & overcast day here today.
It is supposed to rain from lunchtime on though.
I have managed to err... "block" the en-suite toilet. This is not going to be fun at all.
Although, herself is still asleep and so does not know it is blocked so there is a chance of some high-pitched screams from her later. Which may be amusing.
It doesn't usually overflow, it just fills the bowl to the rim and then slowly drains away, but it does give one a bit of a scare.
I am hoping to have a "me" day today (fingers crossed).
