My horses don't mind fireworks, when we used to have Bonfire Night they would come and watch. They are used to living outside with thunderstorms, planes and the Airforce jets. It was the dog who was terrified.

Not bad @Busy-Lizzie.Ā I went looking for enamel kitchen ware to use as unusual planters but there was none.Ā No old metal watering cans except one very bashed one for 30ā¬.Ā Ā Seems like everyone has caught on.
Good early-morning all šĀ I dozed on the sofa for most of the evening ... now Iāve been wide awake and ready to start the day since about 4:45am š. Iāve been watching the sky lighten and trying to keep quiet ācos OH has to work today ... but I think Iāll tiptoe down now and make myself a āļøĀ

š¤ itās Sunday ... youāre all having a lie-in ... Iāve been out there in my purple dressing gown and with bare feet and my phone camera ... thereās not too much damage ... a few things have flopped in the wind but OH dashed around with a ball of twine about 4:30 yesterday afternoon when some tall things looked a bit precarious š Ā Itās beginning to look a bit autumnal out there ... Iāve put some pics on the Garden Gallery.Ā
Back in bed now ... need to warm my feet up šĀ

Early this morning was the best day for the Ā Perseid meteor showers, just before dawn, as weāve been shrouded in cloud for days I didnāt bother to get up and look. Ā Did you see any Dove? 4.45am would have been a good time. Ā Devastation here in the garden, in fact I havenāt been down to the main garden to look!Ā I bought a roll of jute to tie the wisteria, what does it say on the wrapper? Ā Biodegradable! whatās Ā the point in that.Ā I cant find anything that doesn't Ā rot away in a couple of years.Ā

I don't mind Jute for tying stuff , saves you worrying it ties becoming tourniquets. Casualties here include cardoon and arundo plus lots of bit from lots of trees in the woods.Ā
Survived the storm, just lost a couple of large pots, but at least I have a few more crocks. Better weather today, so hopefully showing BIL how to take cuttings, he is really getting into his gardening now.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Glad not too much damage @punkdoc and @Hostafan1 š. I must admit I was a tad concerned about our big ash tree ... itās grown quite a bit since the other one was felled ... if it dropped itād reach our house now ... or the house behind, depending on the direction ...

Niece, OH and 2 children are coming to lunch tomorrow, camping in Dordogne, don't think I envy them at the moment! Wish they had come last week when their cousins were here. I'll have to find something in the freezer, but there are lots of veg in the fridge and garden.
