    Great photo LG, and congrats to Bow for her success earlier in the week.....a very talented lass 🎻🎻🎻

    Garden is looking wonderful Wonky .....great that you will now get to spend more time in it 😀

    Glad you’re on the mend Pat, hang on in there.

    @Fairygirl......are you out there ???......miss you 🤪

    catching up after another full on week 😵. Big news here is that I’m getting a new GH 🤗🤗🤗.  Long old job as planning permission required (we’re in a conservation area and it is more than 50m from the house, but visit to the planning surgery says everything should be ok). Am super excited 😜 

    time for a glass of something white and cold, and a date with Monty in my living room 😉

    It is exciting tho GW not so much.   Even the under gardener was picking holes in Monty's advice and methods.

    That is exciting, Chicky :). Is it a replacement or an addition? Either way, fingers crossed for planning. 

    Yesterday's and today's auditions went well, she's happy (ish) with her performance, but has a gut feeling she won't get a place. As evidenced on Wednesday though, her gut feelings on this aren't up to much! We'll see. 

    Tomato Man looked a bit like Banana Man in my mind's eye, Obxx. Your version sounds more useful!

    Have a good weekend, all.

    GH is a replacement (although Mr C is talking about relocating and re-using the original).  

    Re GW .....loved the peonies (buckeye belle, karl rosenfield, bowl of beauty all have their places in this garden ....deer don’t eat peonies😀😀😀)

    Let us know Tomato 🍅  man’s recommendations 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I hope the getting of and assembly of the GH goes smoothly Chicky. You will love being a new GH owner.

    I enjoyed GW tonight. What did Monty do wrong? But I wish they'd told us more daffodil names.

    LG, sorry I missed bow’s news earlier, but best wishes from me as well. I’m still feeling legless, but starting to come good slowly.
