    Hi Punkdoc, good to see you. Glad you had a good Easter, tho I know what you mean about family and friends too lol.

    Hi MrsG,  hope its not too bad workwise. Must admit this week off is doing me good.

    Lovely sunny day here, but don't think i'll get much time in the garden as i've got 14! Scout badges to sew on for a friends little boy, I must be nuts, wished I'd had them a couple at a time! 

    See you later peeps image

    I'm not working today lily, OH is. Only 4 1/2 days work this month due to the fact I work Mon and Fridays only then take time off for appointments! Not good news for the GC!

    Hi Panda, missed you there, hope you have a lovely day with your friend.

    Lol, should he really? Idon't mind but, as I said wished they'd been a couple at a time instead of 'collecting' them for one go. And as you know they have to go in particular places image I have a 'map' of where to put them on his jumper. 

    Better get started she wants them for tonight!!!! 

    Have a good day MrsG, sending hugs x

    Not hugs I need Lily, feeling fine and getting out in the garden lots, just need cash if you'd be kind enough to send some I could get on with a bit more in the garden!imageimage

    Should arrive soon MrsG, via pidgeon post, image be a good girl tho don't spend it all at once lol image.

    When you go to the gc, could you look for london pride for me and send pidgeon back with it, i've been looking for ages and ages for it. My mum used to have it and i had it it in my old garden. Can't find it any where.

    Have a good day image

    Lily - it grows like a weed here so if you want some I'd be happy to send it to you free of charge! image

    Oh - and an industrial stapler for the badges....image

    Back to work in a moment. Someone is leaving so there's cake to be had. Glad I've left some room for it....image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thanks Lily image. Funnily enough my mum gave me a tiny bit of London Pride last week! She always had it in her gardens, not sure I'm keen but it's planted so we will see if I come to love it. If it's not in GCs I'll bet you can ask neighbours nicely and snaffle some of theirs.image. Talking of which I'm off to fetch mum over soon so she can help with some potting on now I've got a shed load of compost.

    Phoned David Austin Roses for advice how to train my generous gardener: I do nothing for now! (that is going to be really hard, I so want to attack the side shoots), just tie main stems to post and in Jan 15 then I can get the pruners out!

    Don't think any of my neighbours have it, haven't seen any for ages. Fairys right it grows and grows.

    Glad the pidgeon arrived safely, you can keepit if want and I send his two mates along tooimageI

    Stapler or glue would be very handy lol image
