When we lived on high in the Peaks, I had some lovely Welsh poppies, which is probably like telling you to take coals to Newcastle, but my mum loved them and I took her some down to Surrey! You could always do the blue meconopsis challenge, which does well in Scotland. In the Peak District my buddleia took off, and I had a lovely orange geum of which I was very fond, and a great cotoneaster around the door. Obviously, you can't say that it will be the same where you are - only similarity being we were up high, in stoney country. Might have been completely different. But those are the plants I remember from those (very happy) days xx
Maybe there are a lot of similarities between South Wales and the Peak District then! Today on Facebook I noticed that the only people mentioning sibling awareness day (today) were from South Wales.
I think it means putting up an embarrassing picture of you and your siblings in the 1970s and saying something nice about them. As an only child, this is foreign territory to me. Our (sibling) foster children 'appreciated each other' by whining irritably at one another all morning, while our 'only child' son has worked hard with his foster sister on formulating a brilliant song called 'You don't know my way'. But to be serious, there does seem to be a fantastic bond between people in South Wales. xx
