Happy birthday Hosta, sounds like you're having a lovely time. A bit of heat on joints is amazing..... if you don't mind sharing..... could I have a little dose of warm sunshine too........pretty please. Have a great day x
I always assume everyone is taller than me - and I'm usually right... Same height as Kylie. I also sing. But there the resemblance ends, I fear...
Great news about the knee, Hosta! Gently does it... is it too hot for birthday cake??
This weather has encouraged us to book a holiday in February, in Madeira. It won't be hot like Pat's got at the moment (thank goodness!) but it should be warm, with plenty of flowers and hopefully, some sun. It's our preferred winter sun destination and definitely to be recommended if you like walking and flowers!
The chutney seems to have thickened ok. And hopefully I've found a way of outwitting Mr Squirrel: the undamaged apples are now residing in a small metal trunk which we usually store toys in. I think he'll blunt his teeth trying to chew his way in... so I only have another half dozen fruit to use in the next day or two.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Happy birthday Hosta. Hope you've been having a good day.
I've been in the garden. Have planted the last of tulips and a few violas and weeded the long border. Have pulled up summer bedding around the sundial, weeded and planted deep pink pansies.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
All this talk of holidays .......... has forced me to book ours! We usually holiday away alternate years, but I've found a cottage right in St Ives, just a hop and a skip from the Tate and the beach and the harbour and the Rum & Crab Shack.
We normally take a cottage out in the wilds and do quite a bit of driving about Cornwall but this time will be different - more laid back - breakfasts at a café by the harbour and supper in one of the pubs- and we're going in June, not September - someone will have to look after the tomatoes ........... but what the heck! We've booked!

Happy birthday Hosta.
Good morning all , hope alls well with you
just of to dentist
No chance of me overdoing anything Hosta - except the flapjacks

Glad you're having a lovely time and the weather's helping. I may have to drag you up a hill next year if you keep improving
Lily - I'm just like Tinkerbell really...
I'd agree with Lesley about your weather Pat. Every shade of wrong
Casserole prepared for dinner, daughter will finish it off and stick in the oven for me coming in later.
Birds are stuffing their faces out there and the squirrel's looking in daughter's bedroom window. He's sheltering under the eaves!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Been to see a friend, to look at each other's holiday photos. She went to South America.
Pam I don't get warnings on this site. I have McAfee.
Dove's already done pinch, punch and white rabbits. Thought you couldn't do it again.
Shall go out and minister to the garden this afternoon.

Sounds great, Dove. We are going to Norfolk 2nd half of June, does that mean you won't be there?
