    Morning all.

    It tipped with rain in the night, windy as well. Looks grey and chilly outside. Stove is lit, toasty inside.

    I've been sorting out photos on the computer to make an album which I order online. Much better than sticking them in by hand which I used to do. Good thing to do when it's raining.

    Morning all, wet and windy here also, haven't ventured outside yet to see if the rain has made it under shrubs etc. I do hope so.
    I have paperwork to sort and file, perhaps the room will look tidier then!

    Hi all

    Cold and sunny, but can I face getting up?
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Glorious sunny day here, not a cloud in the sky. Will have to be very strict with myself re anything involving lifting or straining, but I saw a stretch of the laurel hedge that needs trimming. I reckon I could tackle that without too much effort.
    Not had one myself, Nanny Beach, but seen a few in my time.
    Hope you managed to get your prescription ordered ok, Hostafan, and can get back to relaxing and unwinding.
    We called in at the farm shop earlier this week, Dove, and my OH also came home with a piece of Rocky Road! ( I weakened and bought myself a slice of absolutely delicious Biscoff cheesecake!)

    Hope you get some respite soon @punkdoc.  
    Glad you are enjoying the sun @Hostafan1.  Bright and sunny here too but sitting with a blanket wrapped around my shoulders.
    I love those photobooks @Busy-Lizzie - I did one for our lockdown year.  We had been away in W. Norfolk whilst our bathroom was being done, returned to lockdown, bathroom abandoned but functional, cracked on with getting the garden sorted after that and the building work the year before.  So lots of photos of wildlife, us in the wildlife, before and after pics of bathroom and garden.  And I did one for each of the girls when they were younger.  And for a big birthday.
    My OH's indulgence of choice is millionaire's shortbread.  He thinks I don't know, but he often treats himself to a slice when he's in town doing the shopping, consumed before he gets home!  Oh - I have my spies!

    Morning everyone, thankfully we've got blue skies and sunshine now. Just as well as I've just had my last rose delivered so need to get out there and dig a big hole! Looks very healthy and a good size, a small rambler. I'm also having 45 Tete a Tete bulbs delivered today so I'm going to be busy!

    Do hope you get better soon @Punkdoc, toothache is the pits.

    Catch up later, gardening awaits.

    Not sure I can post a video here but here’s my attempt at time lapse throughout the year leading into Autumn 😁

    Anyone tried anything similar? 
  • Good afternoon,  we have been in the garden planting tulips. A few in the ground but most in pots  I have put chicken wire over the tops to deter the squirrels.  A lot of new stock from Jaques Amand, near Stanmore.  We have gone for some lily flower shapes four a change.  
    Hope you decided to get up @punkdoc , you know it's better for you.  In spite of my leg still being very tender,  I  feel much better  for having been outside.
