    Afternoon All, I’m sitting in the garden (with a jumper on) with my cuppa and just enjoying the moment. I had a bramble which has now been thwarted in its attempts for take over and raked up some leaves from the grass. Just a few plants still flowering, in the hanging baskets the Bacopa I bought early this year is still a mass of tiny white flowers, a large trailing fuchsia and potted a red Pelargonium and an Argyranthemum.

    Afties Debs and Chive. Debs I think you had a time lapse earlier on! Good to hear the final touches are being put to your kitchen now.
    Chive, those pictures are absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I especially like the argyranthemum. Such a pretty flower and colour.

    Chive such lovely flowers, a lovely view for you.  Debs the kitchen is coming along with your endeavours, well done with the painting.  It’s cooler today. I was looking for a thermal cami but all the bes t already sold out.  I’ll have to shop earlier for them next year.  A popular item.

    Gorgeous pics Chive, those plants look so healthy .
  • Beautiful photos of your flowers Chive,  they've lasted do well. Still lots of blooms on them all.
    Debs, lovely that your kitchen is almost finished. Have fun filling all the cupboards.

    No of course not Hazel, I think it's a lovely stitch to do, makes a much neater finish on  both sides .  I made it quite long for eldest poppet, as she wanted to loop it through rather than just hang down.  
    Just had 'sco delivery, got everything this week! 🤗🤗

    Evening everyone, the heating is on now I’ve got cold feet,
    LB What have you been getting up to today? You’re comment about talking to Lily made me smile, they can say a lot with that look can’t they! 
    Debs Going great guns with your painting, horrible to discover that mice have been in your cupboard hopefully they’ve moved on now, 
    Rosie Slave to the unmentionables, I hope you got on top of it all and had the afternoon to enjoy some free time, 
    Hazel your OH does like a project and together you make a good team. The scarf sounds like a nice alternative to the blanket, what colour have you chosen to make? 
    Lily good news on your Sco shopping delivery nothing missing, hopefully people are being a bit more rational about their purchases now. 
    Thank you for your nice comments about my flowers you’re all too kind 🤗 I thoroughly enjoyed being outside today, hadn't realised how long it had been since I last spent some time in the garden.

    Hazel ,I just managed to snap the pic before the colours faded.

    Hello again all. I got a lot of cutting back done today but it was very damp and chilly outside - not raining just damp. Still I'm happy with almost filling the green bin again. That has prompted me, I must remember to put my black bin out for tomorrow's pick up!
    Hazel, did you and your OH decide about the big clock?
    Rosie, just get a long sleeved tee shirt. Ideal for under warm sweaters in the winter and on their own next spring/summer. That's what I do.

    Well done with the basket Chive! Mine have long been emptied into the green bin, still a few flowers in the garden. My cosmos are flowering madly they look pretty scruffy but the bees love them so they can stay a bit longer. 
  • Ladybird4Ladybird4 Posts: 37,906
    Debs, my cosmos are the same so, like you, I am leaving them a bit longer for the bees.
    I love the sound of your clock Hazel and those chrysanthemums are beautiful. I like the ones with 'Autumn coloured' flowers.
