nah they are a pain...
the bits of gravel get caught in the car tyre treads & fly out when you drive.. basically causing shrapnel wounds to anything close by...
the bits of gravel get caught in your shoe treads... and seem to find there way into the house.. or you have to dig out a big bit of gravel in the shoe tread with a coin...
weeds still get through..
and the gravel disappears over time.. you keep having to top up
(I don't have a gravel drive.. my parents do)

those weed suppressant coverings are a load of pants - weeds still seem to get through I don't have a gravel drive but I do have areas that have pea shingle mingled with lots of bliddy weeds

Yes, beautiful velvet. Imagine walking out of your house to the bay in the early morning or in the evening sunset. Bliss.

Talking of chauffers ........we had an 80th Birthday Party for my mum last night and I invited her rich cousins. They live about an hour and a half away. We spoke on the phone and she said that their gardener sometimes played chauffeur for them and would it be OK if he came and sat in on the party.
Obviously it was OK with us ...........no kidding HE WAS BLOODY GORGEOUS ................we never see this side of the family much but today (with all of my family) it's been a nit nudge, nudge wink wink - Lady Chatterly and all that!
