Big Bird? in the middle has hibernated, like yourself, cheesed off with his chilly chin, and the nearest one is absolutely fed up with the whole business. He fails to see how magnifico is his wondrous beard. He senses it is getting heavier every day. The one at the other end was thinking about jumping. Then he realised there was ice below!!!!

Spectacular ice beards you have there, Leigh. Have a nice time all cozied up with your pooches. All the best 2011.

I bet your beards as long as theirs by now he he. Brilliant pic Leigh xx

thanx you everyone . am i sensing a little bit of sarcasm shiela my love or is it just a spot of good old fashioned bullying . i know thats unusuel comming from you to bully people . you do talk a good talk lol x x .

the one nearest the camera looks as if he'd been in floods of tears!

Brrrrr makes me feel chilly. Bucketing down with rain at the moment. Keeping the butts filled. I expect they are a bit more relaxed at the moment, without those icy beards spouting water instead of ice.

lol i set up my self-watering plant pots to catch rain (which is bouncing knee-high at the moment] and only realised today that the reason they're not filling up is that they have overflow valves to stop the plants getting flooded!

lol fran you learn something everyday x x .

grins, I could have filled them in the past few days. Ah well. I'll try lining them with a binbag to see if that helps. Oh, if only my bit of wall had downpipes!

wow have you seen them living walls fran . this sounds like just what you need for your wall and it looksstunning xx .

*s* just Googled for images of living walls, and wow, they do look impresive! dunno how impressive it'd be scaled down - I've only got a couple of bits of tall wall in between the windows and back door, and they were reserved for hanging baskets. but having seen those pics ... x

you could build your own the hight you want . they are realy cool aent they ?

when done well, and on a large scale, they're spectacular. One I saw had diagonal stripes of different coloured plants; looked very impressive!

But I live in a council flat and I doubt they'd let me do anything like this "structural alterations" - they told me that I need planning permission even to erect a small gazebo to give myself a dry working space!

So I'll have to dream until I too win a triple rollover *s*

The photo's not mine to show you, but here's the page url: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LOsE8ItM2eE/TSqbqwAXX0I/AAAAAAAAFCU/Dlm8hyQIdps/s1600/vertical+garden2.jpg
