    Make it a raincoat lily...image

    Bob - that reminds me of a previous house where we had a couple of portly wood pigeons that visited. They used to walk along the footpath at the front and come in the path entrance to the garden. They were obviously incapable of managing to fly over the low (two feet) fence, which would have been a more direct route! image

    Still sewing school skirts and ironing here.. image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    We have a woodpigeon who thinks he lives with us - he eats the hedgehogs' leftovers - OH has named him Peabrain - it seems to fit image

    I've just been outside and moved my special dahlia Starchild, to a less blustery corner - it's just about to burst into bloom.

    And I've picked our first fig of the summer - beautifully ripe - we have some Parma ham so that'll be our starter this evening.   It's big enough to share - it weighs 4.7ozs!!!

      That's a 2p next to it for scale

    We had really black skies to the west a little while ago - now we have bright blue skies, white fluffies and sunshine - for a little while

    Don't suppose you can split that fig three ways Dove image

    Verdun, you need to act as Cupid and find her a nice eligible bachelor quickly before the a**e comes back image

    Glad your mum enjoyed her meeting, even if that type of thing isn't for you I'm sure she will have appreciated you taking her.

    ....Now my niece........Glad I've got sun 

    Why are nice girls so soft-hearted?  Took my daughter a while to stop adopting lame dogs - mind you, it probably runs in the family image but we do grow out of it eventually image  Any chance of there being a nice young man at her new job? 

    I'm glad you've got sun too Verdun  image - we've got it too, but I'm not sure for how long ....
