"Brilliant " You Tube

I don't use the dryer unless its absolutely necessary but having washed our winter quilt while the weather has been fine after a day it was still damp, 
As its, a feather one I needed to finish drying it as the next day was heavy rain and I know from experience if you leave feather items to dry slowly they can develop a smell and it's not very nice,
 Unfortunately, the dryer stopped working completely, I was worried that when the winter comes we would need a new one but after watching some YouTube videos we found out what was causing the problem, It was two tiny little parts  that cots 14p each, With the help of our son in law (we both have issues with fine movements), It was repaired and is now in full working order.
The point is how many people would have just gone out and bought a new dryer.



The garden is not looking too bad despite the weather 



I still need some plants for my hanging baskets that Mel gave me but I am waiting for Morrison to get fresh stock. We don't have a hosepipe ban yet but instead of water every day I am spacing it out over a few days.











I planted these today, The bees were Buzzing around when I was planting them, They were paid for out of the  money I had saved from my Birthday money  from  my friend Mel and our daughter has bought me a wisteria and a white Buddleia that I am still contemplating where to plant them, The rest of my plants were from jumble sales/car boots  or reduced  from 
B & Q over the last five years since we moved in.

  3. That was impressive, looking on youtube to repair the dryer. I wonder how much it would have cost to get someone in to repair it? Your garden is looking lovely, the raised bed full of herbs looks amazing.
