I once had one of those whacker plate things run away with me, and only just stopped it before it ate away at the steps of the house whose path I was working on... I've been a bit careful with hired machinery since. You look to be doing ok though, Hosta!
Yes, greetings to @WonkyWomble. Maybe she'll have a bit more time for the forum in the winter.
Lovely rudbeckia, @chicky! And in just the right spot to cheer you as you look out of the window.
Must get on with some more plum jam. The freezer is absolutely packed with fruit...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hi folks, Feeling a bit brighter today, yesterday I clipped the ivy hedge and today I've potted up/repotted quite a few plants. I've also swept aside the chippings on the front garden to reveal the old path. I'm thinking of reinstating it. Will need to do a bit of work on the steps but I think it will look better.
Had a quick chat with WonkyWomble this afternoon ... she sends love and thanks everyone for their kind wishes ... she's fine ... as I said she's enjoying her work ... no two days are ever the same and her problem solving skills are increasing exponentially!!! She also gets to catch up with a cousin and some other farming rellies as they pop in to get spares and repairs, which is lovely She will pop in and say Hi when she gets a few minutes.
Hi Yvie ... glad the day has been brighter ... you'd been on such a high with lovely happenings ... a bit of a slump was inevitable

Must admit I don't fancy Scottish weather at all. Sunny bits seem very rare. Met a new lady at Patchwork today who told me she'd spent 3 years living in Bristol. Moved there in November from southern California so went straight from shorts and bare feet to woollies and wellies. She liked the place but not the weather.
Dove - I did that courgette cake for patchwork and they loved it. Had to change it a bit as I had no pistachios - quel horreur - so I used hazelnuts instead. Lots of French ladies amazed by courgettes in a cake.

I can’t believe this weather! It’s sunny and WARM. I’ve got all the doors open and a lovely breeze moving through the house - first time in several months 😁
the one one thing that is puzzling us is that the Black Cockatoos are screaming in our pine trees which usually means we are getting rain. The weather prediction is warm and sunny for the next 6 days. I think the Cockatoos have “lost it”.
Good morning all g’day Pat . Maybe the cockatoos are as pleased as you are by the warm weather. We had an unseasonably warm night here ... apparently high temperatures were wafted up from France as they still have a heatwave.
