    Runny, that was really funny!  I've just remembered that his name was Dean, that his mentor wasNatalie Brassingthwaite, and you might like him to sing you a lullaby. Then again, he was into hard rock, or something similar - very smokey! Thought he was a vampire or something. Hard to remember since so many contestants in these shows. image

    Didn't get to see the previous comments before my last one, so mine seems a bit out of sequence.  Must keep an eye out for the Poldark series If and when it comes here.

    how do you do those lovely smiley faces?  I'd like to have a try too.image

    Good morning all image

    Pat, we're off to Cornwall in a few weeks' time - after we booked the cottage we found it's in the village where they're going to be filming the next Poldark series, while we're there!!!!!!!!!!! image  Glad your OH is on the mend image

    We were out in the garden until 10 last night, me on my recliner and OH laying on the lawn.  Initially we were watching the bats chasing moths around the trees and the frogs in the pond and listening to them croaking, then as it got dark they left the pond and were foraging among the plants in The Wilderness - then just as it was dark the first hedgehog appeared -  we were able to establish that it had spent the day in the corner of the garden where we've created piles of old sticks, pea haulms etc around a wooden hog house.  Not sure if it was using the house or just the pile of stuff, but he definitely came from that corner and not from the garden behind us as has happened previously.  He ate the food we put out in one of the feeding stations, then went up onto the Shady Bank and we could hear him trundling around under the hostas and other plants.  Occasionally he disturbed a frog which would take a flying leap back into the pond with a loud plop.  A lovely evening! image

    What a lovely way to spend a summer evening!  Glad you had the chance to do it.

    Will you still be on line in Cornwall?  I can't imagine how hard it must be for film crew to keep locals out of their shotS. You might, just might, catch a glimpse of you know who.   He is rather gorgeous, isn't he?  Pity we're already happily settled and in my case, too old to even think about a young fellow like him.

    We managed to get one mil of rain!  Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to try to garden.  I guess I could let the whole place revert to native bushland and buy vegies in the supermarket. .... It'll never happen.image

    Fortunately I'll have my very own version of Poldark on holiday with me image

    We didn't get any rain at all last night - now they're saying it'll arrive this evening and hang around for a few days ... the plan is to visit Ma this morning, and maybe take her out for a push down to the beach for an icecream ...

    Steve, our last garden was a tiny inner city Victorian terrace-type 'yard' no bigger than my dining room - and we had a hedgehog and frogs there too - you just have make sure they can get under the fences so they can get from garden to garden image

    Have a good day with your mother. The ice cream sound very nice. I try not to have it in the house since the diabetes diagnosis, but weaken every now and then.image Moderation is the key I believe. My Poldark lookalike is trying to introduce bits of food into his day, so far no ill effects. He's currently microwaving a spud for himself.image
