    Absolutely. It's a no brainer for me:
    - succeed in moving the nursery, still have job
    - nursery doesn't move and closes instead, redundancy money
    I do feel sorry for the other four though who won't really get anything (unless the owner has a sudden attack of conscience and pays out on top of statutory)
    So I'll try my hardest to make the move work.

    It was funny today, having a drink and a reminisce with the 'old' people associated with the trees and the estate... the woodsman / charcoal burner who'd been there for 40 years, and his two sons who I've known since they were toddlers splashing around in the boss's swimming pool when we all used to go for a dip after work, and one of whom I ended up working with on the nursery for 5 years when he turned 16; the chap who was my mentor when I started there and who became the gardener at the big house when he finished on the trees; the bloke who reared the pheasants when there used to be a shoot (we never agreed on that one, but got along anyway).... everyone has been booted off by the new owners. It's going to be a funny old 12 months whatever the final outcome.

    They are rather tasty though.
    They do most of the festivals and I normally head there.

    Testing the clutch cable.
    Sheffield was sunny, got some chips, drove to the Peaks to eat them and it *******ed it down. Listened to some tunes and looked at the view

    There's a quiet farm site we often stay on just south of Silverstone , only time it ever gets any noise is the motoGP or F1 weekend with dozens of helicopters shuttling people around . Bonus being there's a free firework display

    As you know we are very urban, but we are having a good year with butterflies as well.

    I still haven't cut the lawn and its well past 'No mow May'. Im sure that has helped

    Food with a view is always an improvement.

    I've only had chips and home made stuff at this location, but I've discovered a pub that does great Indonesian food that is quite near. So hoping to branch out soon

    Sadly that was years ago. Last time I slept in it was about 5 years ago. I did have fish and chips in it on Friday though. :thumbsup:
