Stolen!! Hole in the ground!


HELP! I need a working party over here right now!


Someone has stolen my hole in the ground! I left it last winter safely there in the grass and now I can't find it! Who has crept in over winter an taken my hole in the ground??


No I haven't gone completely mad, last autumn I had a perfectly formed round hole in the grass with a metal tube in it and now it's gone!


I 've been wandering around the garden with my laundry basket and rotary linen line, but can i find where it should go?? I cannot. I've been on my hands and knees , I 've scrapped with a long fork, but I just cannot find the linen line hole in the ground.


Please can you all come over and HELP me!! Otherwise its back to the tumble drier which is such a shame in such warm weather and I am trying to do my bit to save energy, trouble I haven't saved mine!

I know that feeling - where do they go? I have bought so many soil spike kits I've lost count now. How bizarre.

Oh, dear! Looks like to need a new one! TIP: get a length of dowling/off cut broom handle around 4 inches long and nail/screw an old jam jar lid dead centre and then drop that in the hole when not in use.xx

Good morning from New York.
I think that woozle has a good idea, I was gonna suggest posting a flagpole over the winter.
Thanks for you comments. The shop is one the Eileen Fisher stores. Look at www.eileenfisher.com and check the Flatiron District store under the store/shop tab, and you can see a tiny photo of where is spend all these hours.

Another case for CSI Suffolk aka Mousie I suspect! It is strange. Just saw your one from below, what a lovely daughter you have, now just concentrate on going to visit her.

Just checking in to see how you are doing since Soph has gone. Bet you are a bit empty so good to see you keeping busy and distracted.

And of course your friends are here to keep you company!!

warm wishes
