    Good morning Hosta image  Hope work today flies by and you're soon back in the garden to enjoy the evening image

    Have had a quick read back - isn't it lovely to be sooooooo busy in the garden image

    BL - hope today goes well and that you can relax and enjoy it - perhaps take a glass of something cheering to dull the pain (as long as it's not contra-indicated with any antibotics - there seems to be a popular misconception that you mustn't take alcohol with them, but I think that Fidget will bear me out that only applies to some - most are fine if an occasional apero is taken

    KEF, glad you had a nice evening 'with' friends image

    Pdoc - enjoy image

    Everyone else help yourselves to lots of hugs and smiles as appropriate ................ image

    Ibuprofen and paracetawhatsits are fine with alcohol. Anything with codeine, morphine or other opiate is not.

    Looks like another sunny day.  I started the week with four trowels. Broke two, lost one, down to an old one I inherited that must be older than me.image

    There was a bit of a panic yesterday. I sent out all the wedding invites, with a note to book rooms asap. I got a phone call last night to say bookings were refused, the hotel was full.  A trip by bridezilla discovered that all the regular receptionists were off ill,and the spare did not know how to transfer bookings to the block we had reserved.image Normal service will be resumed on Tuesday, when I will go through the room allocation.image

    Good morning all,

    Had a very hectic week looking after guests but last lot have gone this morning and nobody coming until Monday now so have a free day, was very good and cleaned whole house yesterday and did all the i*****g so just one little load to deal with today. image

    Am just baking cakes to take to Bizzie Lizzies Open Garden Day, hoping to help there where I can but think I will just end up admiring the garden and the plants all day, it was beautiful when I last saw it at the end of last summer, am sure it will be glorious today. image

    Verdun, like you a few weeks ago I had a lot of bare patches I was twitching about but now more or less all getting covered as plants are growing, hopefully my patience has paid off, not a natural trait for me. image

    See you all later, have a good Sunday all, I will post some pics on BL page later too. image

    PS, my rose in the new rose garden has flowered for the first time this week and it is beautiful, pic doesn't do it justice but I am very happy with it. image

    Wish we could all hop on a magic carpet and visit Bizzie s garden todayimage

    imageCakes sound very good too

    Hosta watch that knee, they take a while

    Fidget, exciting now the invitations are out, I am sure you will sort out roomsimage

    Had a good day between showers yesterday but it's cold and wet and windy again today.  Sweet peas planted up in containers but I am wary still of planting othersimage

    Got my new trees in tho and looking great.

    Have a good dayimage

    Morning all.

    Beautiful sunny morning. Grass seems to have shot up again after the rain on Thursday.

    So will get washing on the line and go out to play.

    How lucky DD to be able to go to Lizzies open day. Save us all some cakes image

    Lovely pic too.

    Hope you have a lovely day Lizzieimage

    Pauline......glad it wasn't just me too, lol image

    Hope all poorly peeps are feeling better, hugs.

    Verdun know what you mean, three doors up have a daughter who seems to like the sound of her voice/screams. Parents obviously think children should 'express' themselvesimage  Thought that maybe a year older than last she may have got out of the habit, but no such luck........she is now almost 8!

    Hope you all enjoy your day.

    Enjoy your day at Lizzies DD - just seen your cupcakes on the other thread - would it be ok to have one for breakfastimage

    Another day in the garden planned - some more potting on and then a bracken bashing session in the meadow.  You can certainly notice the difference in the bit I tackled last year, so worth persevering.  My yellow rattle is going crazy too.....happy daysimage

    Morning all. Rubbishy weather here as forecast so nothing much will get done outside. Oh well....image 

    Hope BL has good weather for her 'do' today.

    Pauline and lily - I just couldn't imagine what BB meant either - I'm putting it down to my age image

    Liri - if only salad crops and sweet peas would grow as quickly as bittercress - I've not sown any of them yet!

    Did someone  mention cupcakes image...don't tell Verd. I've still not had my breakfast - only a cuppa- so save me one for later.

    Off for a quick look round now. image

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



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