    Morning all. Rubbish nights sleep but the suns shining so will spend some time in the garden today. Probably when the footy is on😂

    Its23's birthday next week....6 years old.....and then his sister has her 16th birthday the following week.......

    Time marches on
    Catch it if you can,
    Waits seldom for a woman,
    And never  for a man.

    A saying from dear old mum😊

    Hazel, that brought back a memory of something my Grandma used to say:
    Patience is a virtue
    Possess it if you can
    It is seldom found in woman
    But never found in man
    They are just so similar aren't they? Could it be a north east thing?

    Not sure, , LB, my mum was born in Cheshire  and lived in Lancashire for the most part of her life. I've never heard anyone say it over here.

    They are two of those interesting sayings than come from our pasts - origins lost in the mists of time.

    My mother used to say that.  She was from down south...Dartford.

    Hi @Pauline 7. Its incredible how these sayings get around isn't it?
    Oh well done to the Lionesses! That will have shut up my Ozzie relatives!

    Potted on 16 foxgloves seedlings whilst footy was on - saw the goals on replay- and completed two indoor jobs that have needed doing for months, hard work, but they're done now.

    What a pretty colour that flower is Hazel. I cannot believe that 23 is six next week! Where has all THAT time gone?
