Thanks Beaus but I'm waiting till I've had a lovely soak in the bath to maximise the luxurious feeling of clean everything. Hope the rest of your day speeds by for you.
Don't think I'll put a pic of my new bed on here though DD Yours looks ready to go
Wild day here today so I've been to get some bits and pieces and will have a lazy day to make up for all the busy ones. My pond plants arrived yesterday so I've been sorting them out. I made a built in planting area for some which just needs a lining, but I needed a couple of baskets and can only get giant ones. Managed to get a small one locally which will do the tiny water lily but had to order a bigger one off t'interweb
That'll teach me - should have ordered them with the plants
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It was strange today Fairy because the weather was nice when I started up the M6. I got to Cumbria which was very windy and as soon as I reached the Welcome to Scotland sign it threw it down. Glad your plants have arrived. I have a kidney shaped basket if you would like it. Some daft idea I read about planting tulips so that you can lift the whole basket. Too many roots around here to bury it. I'll check the size later.
Hi folks. Stuck in the house cos the boiler man's coming sometime this afternoon - can't hoover cos I won't hear him knock so I've stopped h.....w...k for the moment. (Any excuse... ...my conscience tells me there are some nice quiet cleaning jobs I could be getting on with, but I'm happily ignoring it, and spending the time with a cup of tea, researching Co.Galway, where my SIL has an interview next Thursday.) Will be a longish way to go to visit if he gets the job, but western Ireland is gorgeous! And there are flights to Shannon from Manchester for only £32. Bit far for babysitting though
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Even though its a beautiful day no gardening for me today, popped to Merry Hell this morning to pick up a few things and then went to my friends for coffee, which turned into lunch which turned into afternoon tea. Just arrived home. Still aching all over hopefully it will be better tomorrow.
Still have the front garden to tidy up and have a few bulbs still to plant.

Thank you mrs garden, I'm just on a break so will have a look
BL has man coming to look at her garden in view of going in the French NGS
Hope it's all going good BL, I'm sure he will be amazed when he sees it as it is so so beautiful
Back home again to find new mattress has been delivered and OH already has it on the bed. It's all I can do to keep off it till tonight
Hope the garden man is impressed Lizzie. There is no reason why he shouldn't be but I didn't realise he was going to inspect your kitchen floor too
Welcome home Lesley, and what a lovely surprise for you
Maybe you should have an afternoon nap just to make sure it's the right one!

Definitely test it out Lesley

Very kind of you Lesley. I thought about the kidney shaped one but the shelf is too short to take them.
Not sure why they don't make rectangular ones in different lengths for small ponds. My pond's tiny, as are lots of people's. Gap in the market...

Shh Fairy - just get on with patenting your idea
