robbo Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Bikers weekend done and dusted for another year in helmsley. I need a sit down and a much needed beer. I love Helmsley, one of my all time favourite villages but I would probably avoid it for this one weekend, have that beer and then get back out with your camera, you have a job to do! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane, tiring but a very enjoyable weekend, not even the very wet weather stops them all from having a good time.............glad it only comes around once a year though.

Good to see you back on here, I did pause for thought when I heard about the Super Puma which ditched in the sea recently. I take it you were not on it!

Leakeyvale Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Trying to "unrelax" after an extremely lazy 5 days. Everything was provided and all I had to do was eat, drink, watch the river, listen to the choir practising (we had a choir from Hawaii on board but not part of the cruise - they were guests too) and generally doing NOTHING. I am sooooooooooo tired it is unbelievable! Dogs have been collected and the tortoise returns this afternoon so I hope to be back to normal tomorrow.

Gav836 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Doing some more landscaping in the garden. I "aquired" nearly three tons of pea shingle last week which has managed to recover my large front path and some of the back gardens original gravel area into which I've now inset some paving slabs as stepping stones that have been laying about the garden since I moved in. Unfortunately I'm about a ton short of what I need so I've ordered that today for delivery tomorrow and been laying the remaining four slabs that will be in that area along with raking off the remaining large gravel to redistribute elsewhere. I'm not a big fan of gravel (especially as Buster eats it!!) but as its such a large garden its better that it remains graveled in that part between the house and out buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Did you put any weed block under the gravel Gav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 No I didn't Chris as I'd have needed to remove every bit of existing gravel first and the cost would have been quite high to do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
