    Morning everyone,  thanks for the comments re Tumeric, as with all these things it seems to work for some but not others. I  am giving it a try we will see.  
    Lots to do in the garden and on the plots these little bits of rain are ust helping the weeds. We need a good steady night of rain.

    @AuntyRach I have a climbing James Galway rose that is doing very well on a north facing wall.  Not sure how happy it would be in a pot though 🤔

    We have a climbing Hydreangea, at the shady bottom of our garden, it's in a substantial half barrel so it doesn't have to compete with the laurels.

    Have a look at DMSO too, a solvent by product of paper milling - you can use it alone, or with your turmeric.
    Cheap as chips too! 👍

    Don't make it rain at night, I work night shifts! Between 5 and 9am would be better, if you're planning a rain dance. 😄

    Thanks for the ideas folks 👍🏼

    Wimbledon time now. They’re doing a Centenary celebration today. The crowd are lucky today as a host of previous winners are there. 

    Enjoy your Sunday all.

    Bless him he’s been there all week in his best suit waiting for someone to ask him … 😎

    Hi

    Home.

    Just seen a lovely sign: cats eyes removed, then 50 yards further on, a home made sign, mice happy.

    How did it go, pdoc? I hope you managed to enjoy it despite the weather

    Lovely holiday, thanks.
    Weather was a bit too Scottish, but it was a wild and deserted place, which is what we love. If there was ever anyone on one of the beaches, we decided it was too crowded and moved. Lots of wild life and a fantastic pub, which I have been going too for 35 years has survived lock down and the landlord still remembered me.
