    Hi all.

    Glad you had a lovely time @chicky, still very jealous.
    Andy Sturgeon's is the best garden I have seen, so far.
    Hugs to @Hostafan1, if you are looking in.

    Morning all. Hope Pat and hubby are ok today. Sending positive thoughts to them both.
    Glad you had a lovely day chicky. Like fidget, it's my idea of hell to cope with those crowds, so your day sounds much better  :)
    A day of surprises indeed Obelixx. Life has a way of sending these when we least expect them - good and bad.
    Is it a housing development happening next to you fidget?  :/
    That's a shame, Dove. Cars eh?  
    Lovely looking day here, so I'll hopefully get some more bits and pieces done outside. The garden has appreciated the rain at the weekend, and the sweet peas I transferred are all perky. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Hugs to @Pat E and any/everyone who’s ‘up against it’ at the moment.

    Thanks Dove and all the others who have offered support. I think I’m making history. At almost 79, I’m suffering from morning sickness each day. 🥺☹️

    Oh Pat. It's horrible for you. Did it go ok today?

    Oh bless you @Pat E ... I hate it when anxiety does that to you ((hugs)). Perhaps your GP could come up with a short term treatment to help at this difficult time?

    Morning all. Hugs for Pat.
    We are going to lunch in town with my English friend from the village. They are the ones who came to Lake Maggiore with us and she is a keen gardener. Her husband will stay at home as he's now 87 and getting very wobbly.

    As for Chelsea, my favourites so far are Chris Beardshaw's as he has flowers, and the Yorkshire garden which I think is amazing.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Agree @Busy-Lizzie, Chris Beardshaw's planting is to its usual high standard.

    Thanks again. 😁
    Hubby’s chemo today went well eventually, except that his white cell count was high, so they had to wait until they could check with his Oncologist in Canberra to get the OK to go ahead and give him today’s dose. He was gone for a long time. 😳

    im convinced that I’m too old for this situation. 🥺

    Most of us are Pat - or too young when it happen to kids.  It's a hard place to be for anybody so let's hope the treatments work well and OH and you come out the other side OK.   Big hugs.

    I loved Chris B's garden - his use of perennials is inspirational and I love all those shapes and vistas and his thought processes.  Great that this year we get an interview with him instead of the Beeb ignoring his garden as it has in the past.
