Morning all, gosh you've all been busy bees this morning, trying to catch up just on this mornings posts LOL!
Daisy, glad little Daisy had a good trip to London, my little man is soooooooo excited, it's worse than waiting for Christmas, his is a 4 day (2 night) trip though and seeing 2 shows.
Just been to wave off big man who is doing his first DoE silver expedition this weekend, weather forecast looks good for Derbyshire, no rain and not too much heat which is good, he is walking about 16 miles a day for 3 days and his rucksack weighs a tonne, he will be home sometime Sunday evening shattered
Bekkie, Scarlet Sauce is like a posh cranberry sauce I make at Christmas, a Mary Berry recipe I usually make a few jars as it keeps quite well.
Lily, how many days of actual working? It won't sound as long as a month... about 8?
Can I just say if anyone does win the lottery, you are my best friend and there is a lovely ross called Gertrude Jekyll at DA
Still no sign of Bill, punk (wasn't he going on holiday?) or Rosemummy yesterday either.
Ha ha Bekkie......no we haven't, little man isn't on his trip for another 2 weeks and his friend next door where he sometimes stays on a Friday is away......although he may want to stay at a friends tomorrow Now you'll all know where I am if I'm not on tomorrow night
Anyway, I cane back on to say..........my aubergines have flowers, whoop whoop whoop
hello i'm here just busy trying to get laundry done from h;ls but keep getting interrupted by playing in paddling pool/ feeding times/ and pruning, watering etc, lily how exciting handing notice in, they tried to talk me into staying longer when i went on 'maternity leave' ( i knew i wasn't going back) nice to be wanted though hey? ol, where in derbyshire is big little man going? we're really near derbyshire and go out when we can- i used to a lot with friends walking, hoping to get to chatsworth next week it's only half an hour away, bekkie up til 3 years ago i had free horse poo a plenty, sorry none now,mrs g, new job? i can't keep up on this thread i always miss something, grey here bit cooler, got to go to big tesco ugh will probably spend too much and worry about it all day, at least my mum;s coming to entertain 3 year old who would otherwise turn scarlet and scream 'YOU CAN'T TALK!!!!MUMMY STOP TALKING' at anyone i dared to exchange a word with, she does it when i'm on the phine too if i don't hide in the cellar to make calls!
I need to figure out whats going to go with what, the spot im thinking of is northish facing, still gets enough light to grow roses, the main colour was dictated by a red filbert, so also have a few plummy coloured heruchers, then there are pink and cream roses, foxgloves, a few hardy geraniums, big dasies and ferns, really just what i had to hand which i tried to organise into some sort of coherent plan!
Hi RM, don't worry about the rose too much, you have enough on your plate. I'm sure I can manage to save up £12.99 at some point.....in fact last night as I was putting another bunch of sweet peas on the kitchen table, I realised I am saving a fortune in flowers, well about £10 a month as I always buy flowers in Aldi for the kitchen table and haven't needed to, surely that's worth a new plant???
Big man is on his way to Glenbrook Activity Centre which is in Hope Valley, that's where they will be setting up camp each night but walking during the day.

Have a good day everyone x
Yes i am pleased to be getting horses doings, will do my garden far more good than cake! ;p
Not sure what dahlia i will go for, will have to have a think!
I agree the people at the sharp end of the NHS get a very raw deal! Not fair!

ps o.kl have been reading up on taking rose cuttings, if anyone here could give me step by step advice it would be greatly appreciated
I wonder if a white dahlia would fit best?
