Morning all, morning Dove, afternoon Pat, gloomy day here, not raining but jolly chilly! Gardening for a new customer this morning and meeting papa womble later for a bite to eat. Only a four-day week to get through then we have bride to be step Womble coming for a long weekend whilst her intended goes on his stag do. So I've been utilising my dead headed roses by drying them and making confetti....a long job but I've impressed the bride no end! 😀 Hope everyone has a good day 😊
Morning all/afties Pat. You're having a lousy time of it just now. Those things can be really miserable. Are you hoping for extra 'favours', Wonks? [d'you see what I did there?] That sounds a bridge too far, making confetti! Supposed to be a reasonable day on the hills today, so I'm going to head up to Arrochar soon. Not much I can do outside anyway. Grass is soaking wet and my dark sweet peas aren't big enough to pot on yet into their final places.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Morning Fairy, teehee, I see what you did... your sharp this morning! turns out its not hard and I'm testing different methods, drying in greenhouse in a sieve for air circulation, microwaving on low heat between kitchen paper and I'm investigating ways of using dehumidifier next! Beautiful petals seems a shame to waste them! 😀 Hello Pat, hugs to you both 🤗 The wedding is July 13th so not long now!

Hello to all.
Hello @Pat E ... put your feet up ... that must’ve been a very tiring day ((hugs))
We had some rain @Busy-Lizzie , but not a lot ... we need a fair bit more to do any real good.

Morning all.
That is a lovely idea, Wonky. When my daughters got married we used fresh flower petals, picked and in a vase the day before, shredded that morning.
Going to daughter 2 for lunch. Will have baby cuddles, he was born 7th March.
