Morning all -another day dawns, and I can see blue sky
Popped into a GC at lunchtime and was tempted by something called a scabious centaurea - looked like a cross between the two. Has anyone grown it? Had lovely tall, wavy flowers like a centaurea montana, but held on scabious like stalks. As I have heard others say .....I have just the spot
Hosta ((hugs)) have a lovely day and ignore the unkind miserable ones - it's a shame, but OH doesn't need them, he's got you and you've got him - be happy
Oooh yes Chicky, Scabious centaurea, Greater Knapweed - lovely elegant and attracts pollinators, goldfinches etc - it's on my list for the new bed I'm planning this autumn - according to Sarah Raven it likes poor dry soils and 'thrives on neglect' - just the ticket
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
guess what? It's wet and windy It was 8.15 when I got into the garden last night!
has anyone noticed the growth of willow bay herb this year? it's everywhere here!!
we are moving wood today, needs brought down for the winter, I love stacking wood does that make me strange? I can't help but count themhave a good day,

Hosta, one of the really nice things about this site, is that we can share things that are troubling / annoying us, without fear of reproach and receive lots of support, I know that I have.
Got to clear some of my nettle patch today, it was a lovely small patch to help the butterflies, but is now in danger of a bid for world domination.
Have a lovely day.
PS hosta, I would still tell OHs brother.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Hope last night's soul-searching makes the sufferers feel supported and cared-for. It's good to share... not that I've got anything bad in the "relative department", though we are currently acting as a "buffer" in our little street, between different neighbours who won't speak to each other. We speak to everyone, hence are used as a sounding-board for everybody's grievances though it has its positive side; I clear weeds from the road edges, and therefore get my stone flags outside the front jet-washed as a thankyou by neighbours both sides (who wouldn't dream of cleaning each others' flags!). Cleanest flagstones in the street...
I like your Pooh quote, Dove. I still use my Dad's tunes to Pooh's "hums" when reading the stories to my granddaughter... - and I also count everything, including, last night, all the raspberries I was preparing for the freezer.
Well - better go and get the train to catch the plane to Ireland.
See you in a week, folks. Be good!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Morning all. Don't feel bad Hosta, we take strength from knowing that we are not alone
Big hugs for jo47, what a painful experience and Pat, Runny and others who can relate
Relate being appropriate word considering those involved in our heartache are mostly relations.
Ah well, onwards and upwards, today I am decorating
