    Brilliant - well done Lizzie.  Such a lot of work getting a garden ready for visitors (even one as gorgeous as yours image).  Great to hear it was such a successimage

    Looks fantastic Busy! You'll sleep like a log tonight! 

    Hope everyone else ok? 

    Missing Wimbledon today - although the kittens are giving a championship-standard performance this evening ?

    I take my hat off to anyone opening up to the public.  I know my garden is far too messy.

    Thabjs Dove, I have got a "lesion" on my back, consultant has given me a referal letter to take to my GP saying hes seen me., and what he thinks it is.  OH said he would like to open our garden for the local Hospice next year.

    BusyL, congrats on getting your garden ready and it looks really good. Makes me tired to even think about the amount of work involved.

    Well done Busy.  I used to man the gate for the friends in Belgium who open their garden - no cakes - and it was a long day even without doing all the prepping of the garden beforehand.

    NannyB -good luck if you do go ahead.  Rewarding but tiring.

    Clari - if your OH is a ditherer he only has himself to blame when you present him with chickens requiring a  run.  Keep your hen house!   Do not allow axels on the lawn.  He has a man shed for those!  Your MIL should have learned how to manage her own ditherer by now and not brought up another.  Oh yes - I was 42 when Possum arrived...........

    Herbaceous - a  friend of mine lost a couple of stone after putting a big poster on her fridge - "Nothing tastes as good as feeling thin!"

    Dove - keep that boot handy for tired days.

    Greetings to all I've missed.  Hope you've had a good weekend.

    Been to a concert in the old Halles at Moutier-les-Mauxfaits.  Anyway, 150 choristers, 6 percussionists, 2 pianos, 3 soloists and 1 conductor doing Carmina Burana.   Absolutely wonderful surroundings and acoustics and an excellent performance.   Home now enjoying a glass of wine.

    Sweet dreams everyone.

    We only had a drummer, two guitarists and a singer, but U2 were AMAZING ...and the swan song with Noel was unforgettable, not a dry eye in the house.  So glad I was part of that era.  Music stays with you in your bones....
