Sunny here at the mo, but forecast not as good as yesterday. Glorious sunny day in the garden we had our lunch out there but got a little chilly by 7ish.
Must get my knitting finished too in case Dil is early although if its a hot summer baby won't need a blanket lol.
Only seen one or two lady birds here and that was a few weeks ago.
Have a lovely day at DD Lizzie. DD hope the day goes well. I'm sure your garden looks beautiful.
Fairy hope you find your camera, is it too far to retrace your steps. x
Back again Just had freshly picked blueberries on my porridge ...what a treat. OH netted them this year - which means I can wait til they are perfectly ripe without losing them to the blackbirds
Hard luck re camera, Fairy. Your day sounds amazing though!
Not a lot of ladybirds here, though one tried to get in through the upstairs bedroom window yesterday. Hope we'll see more butterflies too, if the warm weather continues as forecast. Plenty of bees about though, enjoying my Rosa moyesii and then visiting the raspberry flowers nearby; there are community beehives in my town and the inhabitants seem to have discovered my garden.
SGL, I'm currently knitting a jumper for my younger granddaughter which is a size too big, in the hope it'll be finished by Christmas...
Damp this morning so I'm taking time off from the garden to pack for my trip to our cottage in Scotland. (More decorating required, more brambles to remove, and we have a two-and-a-half week gap in our bookings.) Though it's entirely the wrong time of year to leave the garden here, I will be entrusting it (with trepidation) to the tender care of my non-green-fingered OH. However, he does love strawberries, raspberries, salad veg and sugar peas, which are the things most likely to need attention while I'm away, and I'll take him by the hand and show him the way to the water butt before I leave on Tuesday...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Lovely chicky - I have them on my porridge too but have never grown them. I suppose I should as we have the ideal conditions here for them
lily - I trudged back up the hill a bit, but frankly - all rocks and tussocks of rough grass look the same (no path) and I'd already been out long enough by then and it's a two hour drive home. I've been debating getting a new camera so I suppose it's forced my hand.
Feeling very idle but refuse to feel guilty
Just been looking at Peter Nyssen site after seeing it mentioned on another thread. Think I've earmarked about sixty quid's worth already
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oh DD today is The Day. Probably well under way by now, sure a success
We have loads ladybirds but this morning s amusement has been the woodpecker chicks, sliding up and down the clothes pole bathing in the birdbath and generally enjoying life.
Fairy that sounds a lovely walk, do you go with a group?
who is Peter Nyssen? Off for a look
Liri where is the cottage? Hope you not lost business because of Cal Mac! Caused chaos I believe and a lot of money for the islands just as schools break up
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Morning all! Hope the weekend is treating you all kindly!
We had a scorcher of a day yesterday so I got to work doing the handyman type jobs. Varnished the picnic table and benches,painted another table and chairs. All dried in thirty minutes!
Next project is the firepit, in the planning and womble appropriation of arrivals needed. Love thee hammock and matching tootsies Chicky!
Runny! The lamb sounds delicious!
Hope headache inducing glasses have settled Panda! Enjoy your day everyone!!

Fairy - what have you been and gone and done now?
. What a great, very tempting, site that is. I'd better start saving the pennies.
LilyP how lucky you are to be able to watch the woodpeckers antics
.
Happy knitting lily. Hope you have time to finish it

I've just ordered a new camera as well.....
I walk by myself now that I'm no longer with the partner I walked with.
RB - you're so right re the killings. I only lost a camera which is easily replaced - and has just been.

Fg, re lost camera - every cloud has a silver lining
So much sadness in the world
P. Nyssen - oh dear .... I like the look of those Allium Scorodprasum "Passion"
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
