Well, I have tried and tried but Google has decided I do not exist and it will, on no account, let me into Bailes Tales.
And so, drum roll please, we now have Bailes Tales 2.
Yes, it has taken me an incredibly long time to admit defeat and I still haven't added on all the widgets and dressing to make the new blog beautiful.
But, my pal Sue remarked, surely something has happened in my life since August? And so, just for Sue.....
Well, the teen has been packing in as many parties as possible (three last night and he was still going strong at 7am today), Bloke has been trying to find a way to stop the gales coming in through the VW vents and freezing us solid on any drive longer than 20 minutes and I have finally declared victory in the battle of the trees.
Orbit Housing has agreed to chop down the huge trees which are on the border with my garden and have been blocking out the light for the last decade. Hurrah. As soon as they are gone we are having a garden bbq and I don't care if it is snowing.The bloody things have been the bane of my life. Every summer my garden is as dark as a cave, in the autumn the leaves block my drains and the tree nearest the house is so huge the roots have made my shed subside. The quote to get rid of them is some £1,300 but Orbit can breathe easy, at least I won't be charging for a new shed and repairs to my drain (unless I'm still waiting for them to come down next year).
On the down side this does now mean I will have to properly siort out my garden. Not being particularly green fingered I think this will involve a lot of pots and anything hardy enough to survive my neglect, I mean nurture.
