Welcome back Dove! Sounds like a lovely day! 😀 I'll be seeing you Sunday to hear all about it now lovely mechanic has fixed my car! 😀 Have a lovely weekend all!
We had a lovely day, sat outside a lovely pub, surrounded by Hawthorn and cow Parsley, eating lovely food. @Dovefromabove, you might have enjoyed my lunch, Pigs head and black pudding croquettes, with Pineapple and a smidge of Chilly.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

OMG @punkdoc ... that sounds sooo luscious. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I would have 😋
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday @WonkyWomble ... I’ll get the makings of bacon baps for our lunch 😊
Im getting an early night soooo sweet dreams everyone 🐏 🐑 🐑 🐑

Good morning all ☕️ its a gorgeous morning ... I’ve just been for a wander around the garden in my purple dressing gown 😆 while the kettle boiled. I’ve refilled the birdbath ... it was almost dry ... and the hedgehogs have almost drained their water bowl overnight. Looking forward to seeing @WonkyWomble tomorrow ... she’s going to do some clambering on the Shady Bank, tying in clems, establishing a modicum of order with the honeysuckles and doing some of the jobs I find difficult with a dodgy knee and irritable shoulder. I will keep her fuelled with bacon baps 😋

Sounds an interesting lunch, Punkdoc. My mum used to make a mean brawn using unmentionable bits of pig... though why heads and feet are unmentionable given that we omnivores eat other parts of the animal, escapes me. My granny used to love chitterlings...
Still sunny at the mo. Might have time to net the strawberries before the rain arrives, with luck.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Morning all! Afternoon Pat, morning Dove 😊 on first coffee but have already realised its much more chilly than the very hot day we had yesterday! Looking forward to those bacon baps Dove!! 😀
Big fan of chitterlings here @Liriodendron 😋. When I first came to norwich there was a tripe stall on the market which also sold chitterlings, reed, cowheel, udder etc. I often stopped in my way to art school yo buy some for lunch (to be eaten in the seclusion of my studio so as not to alarm the more sensitive students). I really believe that if you’re going to kill an animal to eat it then you really shouldn’t waste any of it. 😊

I agree, Dove. I haven't had most of the things you mention, but I'd be willing to give them a try.
Afternoon all. I've been up at the little museum garden where I volunteer. It's 'finished', so we had a bit of a celebration once we'd done some weeding and finished off the mulching. Looks good and I've met some great people.
There's stuff that needs doing in the garden but tbh it's a bit too hot out there. So I'm listening to Trill practice flute in the other room instead. Bow's revising, of course. This is the first day in two weeks that she hasn't been at school. She has to go in on the Bank Holiday even. I do wonder when the teachers ever get a break.

That petition's only got 28 signatures!!! Come on chaps.
Any pics of the museum garden? Why are exams scheduled on a national holiday?
I have been clematis wrangling. I decided it was, at long last, time to plant Silver Moon out in the ground after languishing in a very large pot for several years. First I had to untangle her stems form the drainpipe she'd found to twine some stems around. Then separate her form her neighbour in its pot. Then I found she's been invaded by a curious honeysuckle in the last year. Impossible to separate so both have been cut back to a few feet and the pot is standing in a wheelbarrowful of water while it soaks up enough moisture for me to get the rootball out.
The honeysuckle has toothed, oak leaf like leaves on the lower parts of the stem but they are larger and oval towards the ends. The flowers are a lovely, perfumed white at the ends of stems but those further down are a soft, golden yellow. No fading. No mixes. Odd.
Since I have to leave that one to itself for a while I have planted out Astra Nova instead and with a dodgy knee it takes ages to dig a decent hole. Resting the knee now as we're going dancing later on........

This just popped up on a Facebook group and it made me think of @fidgetbones - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/258756
