Short back and sides.

They look nice now don't they :)

Thanks Hywel, another job off the list.

You have a nice steady hand,by the look of your lovely Topiary,Alan..they look great. :o)

Thank you Sandra, I always get a little nervous trimming these, as they increase in size, (and price). If I made a mistake, at this stage, I guess they would cost a few bob to replace one.

I wouldn't be anywhere near as good as you at this,Alan,although I do trim three of my Euonymous shrubs to a rounded shape,but it's not exactly Topiary..:o)

Sandra, it's a great compliment that you refer to it as Topiary. There is a lovely garden in a bungalow a mile from us that does lovely Topiary ... They have helicopters and birds, spirals etc., I may just knock on the door one day and see if the owners would mind me taking a photo and putting it on GOY site. I daren't get any more adventurous than a basic shape, as I am hopeless at drawing.

This all looks as good as the Topiary at Levens Hall where Sandra and I went to visit , did you do your training there by any chance;0))

Carole, I am glad you like it. Lovely compliment, much appreciated. I did my training in Sydney, Australia on sheep ....... Sorry couldn't resist that one ! ....lol. <):-))

lol ;0))

Lol too,Alan..so funny !..Fancy a trip to Oz,Carole ? :o))

<]:-))

Im packed and ready Sandra;0))

Don't forget your big hat with the corks on,Carole,and your sheep shearing Secateurs :o))

Have a safe flight ladies....lol.

You not coming,Alan ? we need you to show us how to shear a sheep..can we bribe you with a barbie (not the doll ) ..and a couple of tinnies? lol..

Very funny Sandra ...... Make it " tiger prawns and lobster on the barbie, a dozen amber nectars and some spending money, an I'll meet you both at the airport" .... lol .... The exchange rate is very good at the moment 1GBP = 1.81 Australian Dollars.

PS. Oh .... I'll need a return ticket as well please. <|:-)

You don't want much,do you Alan ?? my,you have expensive tastes..maybe I should just grab one of the moorland sheep as I go over the Pennines to see Carole in Lancs..and we can try out our skills nearer home:o).If you can muster up some finances to join us from deepest Cheshire..it would be a cheaper option than Oz...no foreign exchange rate needed..will you settle for Fosters and Hotpot ? Lol.

"Through a Yorkshire Pudding in as well and your on"! ... lol

Ok,.and one for Wendy of course ..:o) Carole makes some awesome scones ,,with jam and cream..drooling? Lol.

NOW, your talking <]:-)
