Anyone else's garden looking 50 shades of dead? Apart from one or two notable exceptions, everything in the ground has gone over or given up. We could do with some water down here.
...same here. Between the winds, high temperature peaks and the lack of rain, most of the plants are flattened. Got one rose bush that seems to be enjoying it though...
Why canāt people say st any more? So often I hear them on TV saying shtupid, shtruggled etc.Ā
If you are referring to interviewees on BBC news and current affairs programmes, most seem to be Liverpudlians, and thatsh the way the shpeak.Ā I don't understand why they use them as the programmes are made in Salford so Mancunians would be closer.
No shortage of water here. I'll sell you someĀ Ā I thought I'd looked in on an old episode of the Frost Report with Cleeses and the Ronnies - "I look down on him, because...." I know my place.
It's a sign of the times that the Curmudgeon thread is always on the first page, whereas the cheerful one is nowhere to be seenĀ Ā
I could 'of' looked for it I suppose.....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Iām reminded now of Bill Bryson in his book āThe Lost Continentā quizzically musing whether to ask a red neck traffic cop if the residents of Cairo, Illinois pronounced their town Kay-ro because they knew no better, or was there some other reason. Prudence prevailed.
Rained here for days itās seems, certainly for the past two. Ā I do know that Iāve worn a thick Aran jumper for the past few days.Ā Everything grown twice as high as it should, lots of cutting back needed, canāt walk on the grass yet, lovely and lush though, itās glistening with rain drops.Ā One of the beauties of living here, rarely water any plants, Iāve watered my baskets and tubs only once so far. We do have a week of heatwave so I suppose Iāll have to do it then.Ā
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.Ā
