    Great news about your Yorkshire house @Liriodendron - and lovely that they appreciate the garden too.  Very jealous of your suspected 🦔🦔🦔

    I enjoy Test cricket too - especially when it gets nail bitey 😂

    Had a brilliant day out at Marwell.  Felt almost like the world was back to normal, just less crowded and lots of considerate people around (and hand sanitiser at every corner - funny how we’ve got used to that now).  The 🦒🦏🐆🐅🦓🦘🦥🦩🦛🐗🐧 were all loving the sunshine.

    My son had a very amusing joke on his popsicle stick.. ”Why is it always so wet in England?”

    Good morning all!
    As I'm sure you've all realised, I am extremely busy. It's been a huge success, huge, I am astonished how many new people are coming as well as the regulars and now the tourists have arrived too. We did an Indian Soirée on Saturday, with a live singer, he was so good, everyone (50 reservations) loved him and I've now booked him for every two weeks. 

    Anyway, I tried to keep reading the thread, I got some bits, but then when I was reading page 40 I saw that the end page was 59 and thought if I didn't say hello soon you'd all be on another one, so hello. 😁
    Hope poorly teeth and eyes are better, haircuts have been done and walled flowerbed planting is going well. 
    In-between all the madness here I have managed a but of gardening, but mostly just weeding and deadheading. Luckily it's looking after itself, and in fact all the planning is working out nicely as it's grown into itself as it were.😀

    Now I must go, a kitchen floor to mop before the staff arrive, I was too tired to do it last night. 🤭 I'll leave you with some flower pics and hugs and good wishes.

    That’s fantastic news @D0rdogne_Damsel ... and no more than all your hard work and positivity deserves. Congratulations ... long may you continue to enjoy your success. 🍾 
    Gorgeous pics too ... especially like the blue of the agapanthus against the pink ivy leaved pelargoniums ... inspired!

    Great to hear its going so well @D0rdogne_Damsel - hard work, but rewarding.  Lots of happy customers is a great reason to 😀😀😀

    Meant to say last night- love the foxy balloon 🎈🦊. Will be keeping an eye out for that one over here.

    Late to the party, but picked my first sweet peas yesterday (from an April sowing).... plenty more to come.

    Good morning all.  Just having second coffee then heading out to finish planting the shrubs and one more clematis in that new bed.  

    Glad you all had a good day yesterday.   My sweet peas were a late sowing too @chicky so I picked my first few on Sunday.   So pretty and delicate.    I shall be sure to sow them in autumn this year tho so I get picking before the dahlias starts.

    Great news @D0rdogne_Damsel and well deserved success.   

    Enjoy your day everyone.
