A bit of gloom

Firstly, thank you ever so much for all of your kind comments and stars for yesterday's blip. It is very much appreciated :-)

Unfortunately today has been one of those days, involving a drainpipe, an underground drainage pipe and clematis roots now growing in the underground draining pipe....resulting in rainwater no longer draining away and running down the house wall instead :-( Not quite sure how we are going to get out of this pickle, unless anyone knows of a small little creature that likes going down a tunnel & chomping his way through clematis roots.....anyone?!
