Runnybeak - glad you enjoyed Tulip Fever - I'm enjoying Wolf Hall at the moment, and then I have Bring up the Bodies to follow that , but I might re-read Tulip Fever again soon - I think I've left it long enough
Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts - it's just so strange to think he's not around any more
Glad the prom princess is home safe and sound Fairy! Your right I'm still trying to teach youngsters how to party! I've discovered that once they are at uni your allowed to do what you like as long as they don't find out and tell you off!
Garden centre visits are always needed....planter or no planter, rescue missions must be made!
Sorry to hear you have a dickie tummy Lesley! Hope it settles itself soon! you are absolutely right about wondering about the kids of my friend, they were adopted, so I do hope they have a loving home and family, thank you x
Glad everyone is enjoying the RHS book! If I find anymore charity shop recommendations I will let you all know, the pictures are dribble worthy!
It's more how the dog reacts to cats - some have been taught to not be nice to them. Our cat has missed the dog ever since he died - she disappeared for a couple of days and then wouldn't eat so I know she'll be OK
Hello forkers that's me back after lovely holiday. Gorgeous flowers all exotic and full of fragrance, sadly not suitable for a Scottish climate!
Have tried to do a catch up but feel I am just skimming the top!
Dove, sorry for your loss, too young.
Fairy, it comes to us all, just feel proud!
Lesley hope you feeling better, hear your weather been awful!
Woody soo exciting. Let's see the photos
Matty things sound good and well deserved, doggie sounds lovely
Dacha. Our family have just moved to Moscow 5 weeks ago! they are loving the beautiful city and parks. The light is the only problem with the wee one up early.

Have been round at a friends house doing gardening we had a minor panic when I thought I'd spotted the dreaded JKW, but following some extensive googling, and an aborted attempt to post on here, we decided it wasn't huge relief all round

So nice to hear .....we have an apartment in the center but spend most of our time at our dacha in the countryside....we installed shutters on the windows for the summer days , a quick fix is some tin foil on the windows which will give complete blackout ....and that will give you some time to get some heavy curtains.
Most Russians just like to let the sun stream in whatever as the winters can be a bit bleak, make the most of your time here as it is a very special place
Glad you had a lovely holiday LP- while you were away we've had summer and it's now autumn....
Great to hear your good news Matty - all very positive for you.
Hope the cat and dog don't fight like ....well...you know....
I've been busy outside finishing my fence planters and generally tidying up. I can recommend silicone sealant for sticking pieces of trailing ivy to timber so that they grow where you want them.
I'll have a quick look round here before I sort my gear and get an early night. Up early to go and walk at Loch Fyne. Have a good night all - I'll see you tomorrow night
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Jo The reason why I wanted another dog was so I could start walking again - love it - can put your world to rights with just a dog to listen to you.
This one is a bit small though, she looks like a miniature collie without any black but she'll do I hope
Wet here today, has finally cleared but a dampness in the air. We were going to visit the 3 Counties Show today but have put it off till tomorrow
Reclining on settee, fiddling on here, Rebecca on TV, and a book waiting to be begun - what a restful day

Matty, some exciting news! We'll want photos, progress reports ... everything
I'm watching Rebecca with you, and when I've checked up on here I'll get the knitting out ...

Just seen about prospective puppy Matty! How exciting! Fingers crossed! Can we bribe the cat to be nice?
good luck!
