That sounds really nice Dove, hope the weather behaves for you
Yvie! Ouch, i did the pain killer/sleeping tablet combo for mine yesterday, but it did the trick, i really hope that gets better for you, that sort of pain is vile
I agree, not much can keep me from tea and biccies either
been at the daughters . all day in her garden . two trips to the tip .she made us a spag bol for monday . theres enough for the weekbeer or two now and the games .well done scotland . and well done TEAM ENGLAND
I had a weird deja vu thing with Bodnant when I was doing garden design. The history part involved lots of research so lots of reference books were required for pix and info on styles, right back to ancient Egypt. I opened a book and there was a section on Bodnant with a photo of the formal pond, and I had this weird flashback to when I was on holiday as a child. I vividly remembered sitting on the edge of that pond. We had gone to Wales and my parents had visited Bodnant. I can't say I'd have ever remembered going there if it hadn't been for that photo. My sister couldn't remember it at all. I was about nine I think.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Greetings all. Lovely sunny breezy day ideal for gardening - but sadly I had to go & sing in a concert. Fun, but the rained-on weeds have apparently doubled in size in my absence. But looking on the bright side, at least I didn't have to do any dreaded h*****w***k... (Almost as bad as clothes shopping in my book.) And tomorrow's forecast is good!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Glad you've enjoyed 'our' hospitality archie....hasn't it been 'pure dead brilliant?' Some great moments to remember- very emotional at times. I've regularly been 'greetin like a big wean'
The home teams have been just terrific - every single one of them

Now I shall settle down and watch Deacon Blue in Glasgow - I met some of them once as they sang at the wedding of friends in Gourock. Long time ago now....
See you in the morning folks - sweet dreams
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
