Few weeks ago was 2 years for me here- I was dying to write but too many things happened. One of the greatest things about living in the UK -is that you get new friends and you find supporting people.The week of the 2 years was not very nice as I had to spend 2 days learning all information that no one knows or actually should know to take a life in the uk test - (questions there for example where can you get your national insurance number) - and to pay £850 for a visa application -never mind all that is behind me.So, the longest or biggest hose in Lj -is just as a retained fireman , I am on call for few weeks and the only jobs I did was playing with school children -let them spray some water.After long time a new stock arrived - yes sure - lawn edgings and raised beds.The new thing is a 12cm deep heavy duty edging in addition to the 15 cm, this edging is 2mm thick so looks just like what you might know as everedge or smartedge. In fact can last longer than metal edgings easier to use and reasonable price+ mark up for any resellers.The other line of the raised beds got new design so no fittings needed - so nothing to loose on posting. And with some colors Brown or Black.seems like there are less orders so should keep and contact garden centres and garden designers, and perhaps look for extra part time job. As savings are running out and lots of bill...-scary.well, should try to keep positive and work hard after all there is always a progress and keep getting positive feedback from customers. I think that my English is getting slightly better so it make things easier.Again many thanks to all of you that supported so far in my new adventure- I probably were not here without you.Is summer is a slow at new projects for you? trying to learn how the seasons effects us.yourOfer

Well one clear advantage they have, they stand up by themselves.…"
