    It would have been good last year. I had lots of mini buffyball squash.

    I havn't put any in this year. I will have lots of gladiol, cosmos, and dahlias.

    Chicky - that's a bit of a coup!  Well done image

    BL - Outlook seems to be totally up the spout today - but I'll meet you at 1pm in the pub that we spoke of - it has lots of little rooms as well as a lovely garden out the back and benches overlooking the church at the front - just tell the staff that you're meeting me, and I'll do the same and hopefully they'll steer us both to the right place image

    BL, by the way, I find that recently, if I follow a link from email to PMs I get taken to a blank page, but if I go to my name in the top right and click on Messages I get there image

    That's what I found, Dove.

    Have been so busy this evening, trying to pack and water everything.

    Good morning Hosta and anyone else who's about image

    Hope today's not too hot and sticky Hosta, with all that driving - hope there's a cooling drink at the end of it image

    It's already warming up here - nearly 18C - and to think that just over a fortnight ago I was tempted to put the heating on image  Nearly 35C here yesterday.

    Not putting the oven on today - I'm going to make lamb kleftiko in the slow cooker - that won't heat the kitchen up image

    Good morning Verdun image

    It's a glorious morning here - still and calm, with just the sound of birdsong and the buzzing of bees.

    I've been out in my jimjams taking photos image I've put some on Garden Pictures thread.

    However, the front lawn could certainly do with some rain ..... it's nearly the same colour as the parquet floor in here!!!
