Drat.. can't reach it

Almost no ivy left.. had a great day May 2nd ripping it all off. Very surprised that I didn't end up with any roof tiles on my head.. was just tugging on the vines to get them down.. then realised when I got up to roof level how badly they had grown into the house.

Am annoyed that I can't get this last bit..

And I fear the brickwork will forever bear the scars of the roots.. won't scrape or wash off. Grrr. Any ideas?

Oh.. and the bonfire heap now looks like this...

Had great fun on Saturday night hehe... although did poo myself when I lit like 2 matches and then 10 seconds later there were 8 foot flames!!! .. where's your Dad when you need him?!?!

And I have strawberry plants..

and lovely pansies in my pots lol!

Anybody else getting worried about me?
