Today my boy played in a Cup Final in the worlds oldest professional Football Stadium. Unfortunately his team lost 1-0, but it was a huge experience for him to play in front of over 3000 people.

Paula and I decided that we wanted a particular tree for the garden.  The only place that we found that sells it, is 220 miles away in Cornwall.  So we came down here.  Have to say, it's the most money I have ever spent on a twig    Decided to take a coastal walk.

And spotted this very intricately detailed and carved headstone…..

Is that Karl Pilkington's headstone?..

[BloodnThunder]

Where's a picture of the twig?

[Giles]

You asked…..

[BloodnThunder]

You weren't joking.  That is a twig.  The yard in the background looks very nice, and I'm sure the twig will catch up to the rest soon enough.

[Giles]

Yeah, that's a USD75 twig….........When we bought the (wreck of a) house 10 years ago, the only thing in the garden was the house.  The garden was designed, planted and built by me and Paula.....It's actually a central part of who we are......

[BloodnThunder]

It looks great now.  Very spacious.  Every time my wife brings home a plant I get nervous.  Last time it was 3 bamboo plants for a grand total of 240 USD!  But… 'They really add to the space'.

Maybe this should go in the random rants thread.

Survived the first child birthday party of the year without casualties. Having a cigar and a glass of rum to cool down and celebrate that.

So what exactly is this expensive twig that required a trip to the tail end of nowhere?

The term 'garden' is a nice understatement 
This 'park' reminds me of ->

It is a truly beautiful garden! Amazing spot to relax in during summer.

I have fond memories of sitting around the pond, drinking beer and talking away with G and P.

That is unique.  Makes the ordinary white blossom magnolias around here seem dull.  I can see why you'd want it in your garden
