Happy birthday Fairy! Sorry about your lack of hills.
Calm, peaceful and sunny out there today and fabulous for a spot of gardening but if this carries on the only way I'll get to do any weeding and planting of the 3 existing beds is to put the sprinkler on for a couple of hours. Good for OH's golf competition today tho. That leaves me on doggy duties so I'll just bring the machine downstairs to keep them company.
Any plans today folks?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

There may be cake later - when fairylet comes home and makes it
I've got a very exciting job on the go at the moment - dyeing towels. I know how to party....
When you consider the price of the dye, and the number of times you run the machine, and the low cost of towels (supermarket ones are excellent) it's not really worth it!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairy, calm down! All that excitement can't be good at 21! hope you get your cake later, have a lovely day!
Last day off before going back to work. Hands have been rested as well as my back and its been lovely to have some time at home, pottering, seeing family and friends. Sure I'll need another week off by Friday!
Going to my brothers for dinner today, be nice not to cook and to see him, although I'm sure his cat won't be happy as he hates me! He used to stay at mine when my brother travelled but when I got cats of my own, Doorak lost his holiday home and has never forgiven me!
You too WW. Take it easy and pace yourself this week. Don't want to wreck yourself again.
I've given in. The sprinkler is on the dry shade bed that was planted as a dampish shade bed. Then I can rescue the hostas and acers and plant stuff that will cope better.
LG - you playing with your front garden re-design?

Yeh - I was wondering what you were thinking of doing LG. Quite tricky when it's a small space and has to perform several functions. A few evergreens which don't need much attention, and a few pots with bulbs/annuals at, or near, the front door might be the way to go. Climbers if you can fit them in, as they won't take up too much space. Is it sunny enough that you could dig out a few little holes and bung some thyme or something similar where the cars would park? It doesn't mind being driven over.

Obelixx, you really have had it dry, haven't you? I wonder if it'll carry on - maybe it's the new normal there?
Quite a nice looking day here - currently blue sky with a bit of sun. I've got lots of outdoor jobs to do - I like this time of year

St Ives looks wonderful, haven't been there for years (the Tate wasn't even there then!). Glad you've had a good time, Hosta.
