    I will still tend towards Socialism, and i am sure I will always vote Labour.

    It would be an improvement if I felt that they agreed with you  :/

    Just watched GW. :) ... Lots of interesting stuff  :)
    Now for an early night ... was late last night 'cos elderly neighbour had a tumble and the paramedics and carers were there until late and there was quite a bit of coming and going and as our window was wide open it kept me awake.  It seems he's fine today ... just very old and frail. 
    Speaking of which, thinking of @Fire and her father tonight. Hope all is ok. 
    Have a restful night everyone  :)

    Loved the Agapanthus on GW tonight. I fancy mine are a bit later this year, as usually just bursting open for Wimbledon fortnight and remind me of the club’s green and purple theme. I should really grow/buy more as I love them so much. Has anyone grown them from seed? @Hostafan1??

    Enjoyed GW too - trouble is it makes me think the weekend is here already 🙄. My agapanthus are late this year too Aunty Rach - first bloom opened today, and mine are normally going strong by Hampton Court.  Never tried them from seed - wonder how long they would take to flower?

    Internet been off a lot today.

    I actually remembered GW! Then watched the Hanging Rock thing about missing girls, bit spooky.

    Lovely hedgehog photos yesterday.

    President Macron was in our local town today. The estate agent coming to look at my house was late because of that, half the streets were closed. He's coming to a local village tomorrow so I must remember to take another road when I go to lunch with daughter 2 tomorrow.

    I am sure you are very sorry to have missed GW., @Hostafan1 :)
    Monty was looking dapper and was his usual informative and engaging self.
    The dogs of course looked wonderful [ the only reason OH watches ] and generally all was well at Longmeadow. :):)

    Hi everyone.
    i grew all my Agapanthus from seed. Can’t remember how long they took to flower. That was years ago- about the middle 80s I think. They still flower every year. I can’t imagine how they survive. I never water that area in front of the farm shed. 😏 I just notice them when we drive past. 
    That Hanging Rock story has been around for a long long time BL. The music makes it much spookier.

    28 pages of spam - that has to be  a record.... :|:#
    Hope the powers that be are in early to deal with it. 
    Awake early - I'm turning into Hosta. will have a read back to see what's what.
    Glad you're making progress BL - albeit with a few difficulties. Does MrM not realise you're trying to sell?  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
