    Evening all and its still light! 😊
    Good evening Dove, thanks for such as lovely day yesterday!
    Lovely tulips Hosta!

    Six sacks of small pebbles in the boot if my car that papa Womble has provided as part of my birthday present with a promise with helping on my next project also! Which is a lean to shelter over the terrace with a pergola frame for climbers. Should help stop the upstairs neighbors overlooking the entire garden as well as sheltered seating 😀 
    Glass of wine before cooking dinner, gardening jobs at three different places tomorrow.
    Glass of wine and a sit down before cooking dinner, have a lovely evening all 😊

    Have you already had a wine @WonkyWomble? 😉😂
    Finished work late here so just catching up on forum, messages and news. Hope all are well.

    Busy day here too.  I made chocolate beetroot brownies to take to patch this pm and then on to mosaic where our only chap was celebrating his 46th birthday - more cake - and then home to cook dinner and eat and now I've got a batch of oatmeal, raisin and cashew biscuits baking for OH to take with him to a golf competition tomorrow.  The club they're playing against is part private and part council owned so has no restaurant and the team will need an energy boost.

    A friend at patch has given me a clump of some aromatic mint variety and another os Shasta daisies.  The mosaic leader has promised me some vinca major for my awkward bed.  Don't you just love gardeners?

    Pretty tulips Hosta.  We'll need photos Wonky, when it's done.

    Auntyrach 😊 turns out it was two yes teehee 😀 
    It's ok Dove I'm older than 27 so I'm allowed 😉
    Obelixx,  your cake talk is making me hungry! Those biscuits sound scrubby scrummy!
    The new project in mind is, believe it or not, my OHs idea!! So I'm encouraging him by approving and going ahead with it! 😀 pictures will of course be provided. I'm sure it will have my usual rustic looking Wonky charm but with a few pretty scrambling something's growing up it and a bird feeder or two, I reckon it will look ok, plus privacy from neighbours will be provided so double bonus! 😀
    Cup of tea and comfy chair time now.
    Night everybody 😊

    This is the recipe I tried Wonky but I didn't have salted pecans so I used lightly salted butter and roasted cashew instead.   They are yummy.

    Fantastic Obelixx thank you! I've saved the link in my recipe file 😀 they are prefect for me, I'm not a fan of over sweet things and prefer fruit and nut based things over chocolate or toffeeish  stuff, find it too sickly.
    As a child we didn't eat sweets other than opal fruits or jelly tots, fruit based only, Dove made amazing food and I've never really developed a sweet tooth. If I eat chocolate I have to eat some salted nuts or crisps alternating between the two so the sweetness isn't too much for me!
    I know, I'm an odd one! 😉

    Good morning  all :) ☕️ 
    G’day Pat  :). I had to put my password in a couple of times yesterday ... must’ve been an update or something. Hope all is ok with you and OH. 👍 

    Here the day is clear so far, but apparently we have rain coming later ... that’ll water my seeds and plants ... there’s a few more to go in ... I’d better get them planted ... but first we’ll need some ☕️
