What a lovely welcome back from all you lovely people
Verd- just go and stand in the garden somewhere suitable. If there's a space for you, then there's a space for an Amanogawa....although it might be a bit taller than you
Hideously wet and cold here too doc - birds are out building a raft and there are puddles on my new area for lawn. My gravel's all nicely washed though
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have planted a prunus amanogowa in every house i have lived in - always thought it would be great with a clematis viticella climbing through it when mature. Always moved on before tree reached maturity and yes, there is a small one planted by me, then replanted in a different spot in this garden. Perhaps I'll be lucky enough to get to the viticella stage with this one. Certainly seems to prefer its new spot!
Verdun it is a lovely tree - fits in anywhere, surprised you haven't grown one!
Thanks for all the good wishes re Charlie, he certainly had a fab time, but I am so pleased to have him home. We have been for a lovely walk around town this morning & visited a cafe, taking Shadow with us so he gets used to people - Sunday morning ideal as virtually everything shut apart from tabac & little cafe. Think he got sensory overload on all the smells & in the cafe there was a resident dog he made a friend of too.
Charlie loves his bedroom & the lampshade I made him from the leftovers, wallpaper was from B&Q btw Beaus Mum. Marmalade obviousy thought it was especially for him!
Good day all!

Just gorgeous DD. I bet he's thrilled with his new look
My eldest daughter loves all the Avengers stuff and has one of the big framed posters. I tried not to worry about mine when they went away too but, even if you're busy, it's quite hard isn't it? Great experience for them.
I feel I should be doing something constructive but the washing's all done, huge load of beef braising in the slow cooker and did food shopping yesterday. I could clear out and tidy the understair cupboard...... or maybe not

Afternoon all.
Welcome back Fg., missed you.
Still blowing a gale here, does not inspire me to get out there.
Counting down to holiday, and some much needed sun.
Have a good day everyone.

Hello All
Welcome those who have been missed
I have planted a prunus amanogowa in every house i have lived in - always thought it would be great with a clematis viticella climbing through it when mature.

Depends who it is Fairy
Perhaps you could wave your wand for me, can't lift my right arm much. So OH has been doing cooking/washing up etc
