Had a brilliant day today: took OH to Highgrove, Nr Tetbury where we had the guided tour of the gardens then lunch in the Restaurant (our daughter's birthday present to her mum). Weather was a little overcast at first but brightened up before the tour concluded and there was no rain (thankfully). OH (Eileen) said that was the best birthday present she has ever had. Bought her a couple of Heucheras in the Highgrove shop which she is very pleased with and has planted them out already.
Just asked 'where shall we go tomorrow' - she hadn't thought about that so I suggested East Lambrook Manor Gardens, Nr South Petherton, Somerset, which features in the RHS 'Gardens' magazine this month.
been having a down patch lately, which has gradually gotten worse, get home from work, fall into a stupor, go to bed, do it all again the next day. II seem to have had the customers from hell lately... done nothing in the garden, weeds taking over the beds, I've not done anything on the allotment for over a week. I'm going to sign off for a few days methinks and just try to get myself back on track.
John glad you and Mrs John had a lovely time...if you don't feel up to another day out tomoz' I'll go with with MrsJ just give me a bit of warning to charge the tardis up. What heucheras did OH get ? I'm wanting a lime marmalade.
Well I've got the climbing french beans in. Still not got the runners in. The rain has held off but its very dark here. A very fat vole is running around the patio picking up bird seed.
Heucheras I bought for Eileen are 'Silver Scrolls' and 'Ginger Peach'
A friend Eileen has just been talking to on the phone has said that at East Lambrook Manor Gardens, just across the road from there is a pub that does fabulous food at really good prices so it looks as though lunch is sorted as well.
Think we all feel like that sometimes, i sometimes sit out in the garden thinking about all the projects/jobs that need done and it overwhelms me and i end up going back inside, hope it's not to long before your back on song...
