    The eyes are different ... but there is a very definite family likeness ... we can see it  B)

    He's gorgeous @Hostafan1 I have a photo of a very fat 7 month old Possum sat on our kitchen table wearing a gorgeous dress designed for a 2yr old and given by a clever friend when she was born.  She could still wear it almost a year later as she'd started burning off the rolls with crawling and walking but not at 2 yrs old.

    Reason to be proud @Pat E and @Biglad but just having a happy life with balance is worth celebrating too.

    It is cold here and wet tho the forecast says no rain, despite the same page having a radar image showing heavy blue stuff going over for the next 2 or 3 hours.   I don't do soggy gardening any more so I shall go and paint some more chairs and clean a few garden tools that OH forgets to clean and dry after use.  No wonder we get rusty bits and dull edges.

    I don't do frothy any more @chicky - not with annuals anyway - but agree there's a lot of work behind it, just not hard labour such as moving piles of rock tho here it does often involve "quarrying".
     
    Stay safe and warm and dry everyone.

    We went for a walk in a bluebell wood,  on the outskirts of Watford of all places. I think it was @chicky who posted a picture a while back that made us think of it. 🙂
    The best picture wouldn't upload for some reason,  but you get the idea I hope.

    That's a lovely pic @Allotment Boy - I have a cousin who lives near there who posted something very similar on Facebook not long ago.
    @Hostafan1 - those eyes!  He is gorgeous.
    @Pat E & proud mum! And @D0rdogne_Damsel - I too found it nerve wracking being filmed. I was filmed for our local news station a couple of years ago and found myself umming and ahhing and tripping over my words.  But I still made sure everyone in the family watched it!
    @Nanny Beach - I'm impressed with all your hard work!  And it's true - there is a lot of lifting, carrying, hauling etc. to be done before you get to the frothy frilly stuff.  People might admire my border - but what of the heavy lumpy old conifers I chopped down and their big old roots I got out to get there?
    What's everyone having for tea? I mean dinner. Or supper.
