All you have to do is grab a Doc Leaf, which is a weed, rub it on the sting and that's it, no more sting.

See what sizes they have ... usually s, m, l, xl and holy @*@*, the latter being ideal as a rule :) Cid Miles,

This season I shall be looking for a long length Motorhead top, possibly V neck in fine quality black cotton to match my existing wardrobe for daytime socializing (lunching with the girls) and general hell raising :) Cid p.s. wonder if they do a termal lined version for winter with matching slippers? Miles,

If you can drink a pint of schnapps then you belong backstage at a Motorhead gig-I long suspected you were a rock chick at heart! Miles Cid,

There must be plenty of hard up surfer types looking for some extra cash to pay for their new boards? Place an advert saying you are a stones throw from the beach-that should do it! Miles Annie,

I have a particularly fine one and shall arrive on it with grim determination and no doubt a few splinters! What worries me is Miles' guitar renditions ... I should be grateful if he would stick to the Chris Rea stuff rather than his predilection for Motorhead. Mind you after a few pints of Schnapps I won't know the difference! You create a diversion and I'll try to avoid the polytunnel in my carefully measured descent ... :) Cid Christine,

I'm not ready yet mind you, these things require time, imagination and perseverance. All that's left in my garden worthy of sculpting is a large courgette, leaving very little to the imagination :) ... I shall be ostracized from the WI yet again!! Cid Miles,

I truly feel your pain, having done the wheel barrow thing myself. I have haul the shredded bark, top soil, compost, gravel, plants, bricks, a water feature (that one nearly killed me), a statue, a bird bath, stands to hold the three thousand umbrellas I use to cover my patio. While the exercise was a very good for me (the idea being "that which does not kill you, is good for you."), there were times when I wondered what in heaven's name a 60 year old women was doing working like a bloody idiot. Press on, Hercules, press on. Annie Oh, Poor Miles!!!
