  • Hello all

    I put signs up in a few bit of the garden - woodland garden, nursery bed, bee and butterfly garden

    It was one of those things at the station of not having much colour at this time of year now we do 

    Hard to keep thing watered in summer and lost a few plants cause of the heat,  that is why we added the painted sleepers at the back of the garden to give colour when not much in colour in the garden 

    Verdun you were up early painting - good to tick things of the list

    Woody like the sound of your sign, will you make one?

    Well done lily - Fairy's really happy nowimage   We had rain on Monday - all day long so the ground is still fairly moist and birdbaths full.

    Enjoy having your visitors Beau.  Not had chance to look at bulbs yet as I was trawling the shops looking for a birthday present for my Mum.  Got some clothes but they were from Marks so she'll be able to take them backimage

    Hope everything goes really well for you OL.  Bet you and OH are very excited nowimage.

    Fairy will you leave your bench out all winter or cover it up?  You've been painting, so's Yvie and now Verdun.  I haven't got anything to paint outside and I'm certainly not starting anything inside yet.

    Called in at Aldi and picked up four of their little evergreen plants (I did pay for them too).  There's a pink Camelia, Ceanothus, Pieris and pink Azalea, all healthy looking plants. £1.79 each in 9cm pots.  They've a long way to go but if I can keep them alive in pots for a couple of years I'll have just the place for them

  • There are some very kind people in this world -  I've just had a lovely present to cheer me up!!!  It's succeeded imageimageimage

    Back from a shopping trip - very exciting - gravel, fence post caps and roof seal for the shed image

    other women buy shoes...image

    Rain never happened - all it did was dampen the top of the growhouses! I'll  leave the bench out Lesley - no decent outdoor storage here which I'm not used to. It's outdoor paint on it anyway.  I could cover it but probably won't bother - I'm not very keen on those covers so it'll have to just get on with it. image

    What's your prezzie Dove?

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

  • Oh, a friend in NE London has just said that they're having an absolute cloudburst - she says it's so loud they can't have a conversation!!!

    That'll fill the waterbutts!
