Madam Alfred carriere is lovely lily - some of the honeysuckles have lovely cream flowers too - you could do a combo.
Fairy - had Duchess de N in last garden - beautiful, and lovely smell too.
Verdun - oh is looking at petrol hedgetrimmers - how long do yours last before needing a recharge ? And would they be strong enough for beech hedges ?
Where's Dove ? Either hole went as far as Oz and they are having a quick visit, or maybe her and OH are stuck in said hole without a ladder. How long do we leave it before alerting search and rescue ??
Just been adding a few small 'items' to my nursery list....just one or two of course....
We had a battery hedge trimmer for last house as we had a very long privet hedge and a hawthorn on one side of the entrance. It was a Flymo chick. It went for about an hour before needing charging but only had one battery which took about 5/6 hours to recharge. It was a bit heavy if you were having to reach up so an hour's cutting at a time was enough. I used an electric one and did the privet, partner used the battery one for the hawthorn because it was too far away from a power source.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
More visitors this afternoon, more food, more chat, more alcohol...
All back to normal now, phew.
New huge compost bin nearly made, screws missing ( not too much of a problem) but in a particular frame of mind so sent a nice email to let them know. Received email back asking me to dispose of it as they are sending a replacement! Woo hoo!!!( said a little guiltily).

Lily, Mme Alfred Carriere is gorgeous, and even the foliage is scented - I'd have said it was a pale pinky blush white. One of my favourite roses.

It looks the most gorgeous thing http://www.taylorsclematis.co.uk/clematis-venosa-violacea.html It's to go on the fence behind that pink rose Bonica that I ordered yesterday
Edited to say: look what it says about it here http://www.gardensplendor.com/sick/clematis_venosa_violacea.html

Brilliant MrsG. Always worth a punt
Think the petrol trimmers are usually heavier than the battery ones chick - as far as I know anyway.
