Newly Laid Paving.

[Tilly2]

Not really a gardening question but here goes.

We have had a new set of steps put in, up the the backdoor. A flight of four steps, built of bricks and paving stones. The landscaper told us, before he left today, that we should not step out on to the steps for at least three days.

Is that correct? It's going to be a pain having to go out, through the front door and round to the garden, each time Tilly needs to go out or we need to feed the birds. Three days seems a long time. Will it take longer if it rains?.

[Tilly2]

Which one?

[Retrochic]

We tell clients 24 hours in decent weather -that can mean temperatures above 16C and no chance of frost. In this weather (rain rain rain) I would give it an extra day.

[Tilly2]

Two days then, Retro. Sunday, I can tap dance on them?

[Retrochic]

lol! in the nude if you must ;-) just don't tap dance around the edges just keep to the middle.

[Tilly2]

I'll keep the middle ground! Thanks, all.

Like to tell me about the Rhine?

[-Talbot-]

It's a big river in Germany

[Tilly2]

The Rhine is next year, Sibs. With Aunty and Uncle. :-(

I will tell you about my recent holiday, though. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll have time.

[Psybbo]

See you then, Tilly
Mick, gosh, you knew that, wow!

Take some earplugs if you are on a river cruise, Tilly and gnat repellant

[Tilly2]

Why do you need earplugs, Mick?

[shoota]

Slabs rock!

The boats/barges are bloody noisy things (Maybe they're quieter on the inside than the outside)
