Such a lovely picture Frit really elegant and classy!
Dove, under your instruction I have taken a gardening break to watch Calamity Jane! I have also text step womble and told her how lucky he is that his MIL let us know! what a fathers day gift! You can imagine how impressed he is! teehee!
Lovely pics Frit You must be very proud of your girls
Lunch was a success S&P pie was delish with loads of lovely gravy Had to laugh though when I realise (at serving) that I'd forgotten to put the potatoes on Normally they are under the bamboo steamer, but for some reason I failed to put them in the water..... good job I did loads of veg Pavlova was too big for a plate so we ended up making marshmallowy Eton Mess - very very yummy Still some left if anyone fancies it? And we ate in the garden
Hi guys, finally read back, thanks to BL and chicky for extra support of my question
It really helps to know what everyone else is doing
Been really busy on my holiday weekend, had middle son down for roast pork dinner which I must say was the best I've ever had. Am I allowed to say that even if I was the cook?
Played games had lots of fun today and finally sorted out my problem of where to plant one of my homeless shrubs at the end of the summer
Went to my son No 2 for lunch today. Had a BBQ. Lovely day. Their baby boy was 1 in May and the 2nd is due very soon. When we got home Son No 1 rang. Their house sale is moving along and they hope to move to the new house in August. Then I had to do watering. So not had time to post today, until now.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Your girls are gorgeous Frit - yesterday was obviously a very special day
Great view Fairy - I would have done the extra 5 miles too
Feeling a bit whacked....looking back I can see why ...planted out 80 plants grown from seed (i counted the pots at the end ....numbers girl me), went to visit an NGS garden (wonderful ...but maintained with the help of a full time gardener and a groundsman .... So cheating really), altered a prom dress for Chicklet (yes, another one), cut down my euphorbia cymes (for those who watched GW), and moved a few plants into more PPP's. So quite a busy day
Everyone seems to have had a lovely home cooked lunch, I am afraid I served up a selection of leftovers and no dessert - garden is taking up all my time. Hopefully next Sunday evening when it is all over (for a fortnight - doing it again on the 12th July) I shall have time for a proper meal and sit still long enough to enjoy it.
Feeling a bit better about it all. the worst bits have been tamed, albeit with a strimmer in places (needs must - short term fix) and today I have been actually prettifying rather than troubleshooting - and I got the last of my annual gap fillers in at last.
OH ventured out to help and then went back inside to see if he could order a battery operated hedge trimmer online, that was the last I saw of him. He has also invested in a 'pool robot' and has spent a great deal of time watching it do its automated cleaning thing- me thinks he is missing the point of this supposedly time saving piece of kit, surely one should do something useful with the time saved - but what do I know.
Anyway, baking day tomorrow, doing cakes that can be frozen for Sunday so don't have to fret about them nearer the time. Also have to bake for school fete on Saturday, I have managed to get myself stuck on a jam jar tombola stall for the afternoon, just what I needed the day before The big Open Day - not.
All good fun, nothing like a bit of pressure to get the adrenalin going.
Good evening all and good days to you all tomorrow in case I miss you all.

Glad the alfresco lunch was a success Panda and it never matters what shape a pavlova turns into
.
Wonderful view on your walk/hike Fairy. It really lifts the spirits
.
Wonky I love your planter -- very tasteful
