    That is beautiful Cheyngel!

    Ob; how neat your patchworking is.

    The hound and I are resting on the sofa: he's done his traditional post bath eat ALL THE THINGS and I'm just watching for his food to defrost a little more so I can prepare it all up for him.

    That's mostly my neighbour's work except for two pots which are mine!

    Clarington I too do a post bath "eat all the things"

    Clarington ....does Reggie ....rub his ears into any carpet or fabric after his bath ....I can't imagine not being able to poke my finger in there to get any moisture out image

    Cheyngel - the plants on the stairs look lovely, and I think it's great that you and your neighbour have found a way of sharing the care of the plants ... maybe in time you can add a little more of your own touches and your neighbour will appreciate that you love growing things too and won't feel that you're trying to take over ... good neighbourly relationships are so important image

    it's turned damp and chilly here ... I hope BL and her OH had a nice time at Cromer ... perhaps they had a crab salad at No. 1 image instead of on the beach.

    Phew, it's a scorcher. Fairy and LP should have the same image

    Pots of flowers and window  boxes make such a difference in an urban setting and give a boost to passers by as well as the owners..

    I have dirty nails now! Just repotted a spider plant, removed the broken pottery from the bottom of the pot ("drainage image") and cut the leaves off (all brown) and cut off some of the roots as it was really root bound - there was a block of wet soil and then dry sand surrounding it! It now has lovely new compost and I'll get some plant food tomorrow :)
