    :) Thank you everyone. I've had a quiet day. Had several heavy rain downpours so not brilliant for gardening anyway. Bed time, should have gone a while ago. I'm not that good with little ones either but grandchildren are different, family.

    Wonky - OH came home saying the biscuits were a huge success - they scoffed the lot and only left him one! - and can they have the recipe.   In French!   Ha!

    Anyone watch the Sewing Bee?   Interesting challenges.  Approved of the winner.

    Bed for me too now.  Sweet dreams all.

    Obelixx love the sewing bee! All very skilled in their own way, interesting challenges. Just found a website called sewmag, comes with a magazine, great patterns, then found a service where you send them the file of the pattern and they print it for you on proper paper on the right size! The winters will fly by!
    Those biscuits are going to be s firm favorite with me! They will be the perfect snack to take with me on gardening days! 😊 
    I've just secured my final days work needed! Six hours in a lovely big garden once a week! 😀 I can't believe how quickly its all come together! Not to mention how much spare time I've had in the garden, think it's gonna look good this year, well constantly improving at least!😀
    Time for bed, night folks 😊

    Typically, I’m just in time to wish you al good night while I’m thinking about getting up. 

    Ive been laid low since Monday with a severe gastric bug. Don’t now how I got it. The only thing I’ve done outside of home is a coffee at my regular coffee shop. Hmmm. I’m hoping it’ll be sorted by tomorrow. Hubby and I are to attend a lecture at the local hospital about what’s ahead for Hubby. He starts chemo next week.

    Best wishes to the new grandchild.

    Hope you’ve been feeling better today Pat 🤞🏻  And hope the lecture tomorrow answers some of your questions.  Big hugs for you both 🤗 

    Meant to say yesterday Hosta ......love that tulip collection ....OH did well choosing 🌷

    Hard frost here this morning.  Went for a walk yesterday evening and got hailed on 😵. Hope the wisteria buds survive ok.  Magnolia will have had it, but its been glorious this year, so can’t really complain that its been cut short.

    Hi Chicky. Just back from an afternoon lounging in CAS. They’ve decided I have a viral infection, and to just keep up my fluids and of course Hydrolyte ice blocks. 🤬

    Morning all. 
    @Obelixx and @WonkyWomble ,I too loved Sewing Bee and totally agree with the winner. I shed more than a few tears. 
    Grasses in new bed include;
    Miscanthus Giganteus, and M. malepertus.
    Molinia Karl Foerster and M. transparent.
    Calamagrostis overdam.
    Hakonechloa macra aureola
    Stipa tenuissima
    I've also planted about 35 deciduous agapanthus and some big chunky ( 0.5m diamater )hostas which were on the limit of my lifting abilities.
    I'm very happy with it so far. 
    Devon.
