What a Lovely Sight, the Simple things we appreciate more these days .

So you appreciate me then Ms Ellie?

Wow that is beautiful. I love this time of the year when everything is starting to bloom. I’m not so happy with the hayfever though x 

Ted I am so sorry about the situation you are in with this awful knotweed. My heart really goes out to you and Mrs T for what you are going through. There are a lot of things in life which are just so unfair, and this is at the top of that list x 

Kind of you to say Chelle but everyone on here is in a far worse position. Cancer or knotweed, I know what I and everyone else on here would choose.

I am stopping going on about it. Finito!Well

I said the simple things in life, not creepy crawlers, that might bug you.

That’s beautiful, where is that? 

The dreaded weed is pervasive most places now thanks to those damn victorians thinking it looked nice by their ponds,  I live with a wooded embankment at the bottom of the garden, and it is present there - 2 neighbours have both made efforts to rid of it from behin their gardens, and seem to have been succesful - just by spraying yearly ( nasty stuff though those chemicals) I think the total horror stories about it have been slightly disproved over the years, so take heart, it wont invade your house and eat you after all. It is a facinating plant - feels like you can literally watch it grow over a few hours. But upwards usually, not outwards.

You are made of sterner stuff than to let a green thug make you despair.

I wish we also had a laughing reaction button, because your green thug description of the knotweed did make me laugh x
