One good thing about living up here is we wont be bothered with the Olympics, London will be a nightmare. We can just watch it on tv
Geoff Ive always lived in this area and as far back as time my family has too, we've not travellers until now, my mam and dad now live in France in the South West its an amazing area great growing weather they are big on gardening they pretty well live off the garden all year round having pickled bottled and jar'd everything in site.
We had another nice day yesterday and the bbc weather site is saying dry here till Friday. My OH bought me a weather station for my birthday it has a wee man on it that dresses according to the weather from a raincoat and umbrella to swimming trunks we've named him 'Wee Willie' so Wee Willie has no raincoat on at the moment...
Ive been thinking of my garden Im thinking although I love lupins and they did look well this year they are now pretty well over and straggly my thoughts are for either sweet william which wont get so tall or a small shrub what do you suggest
I am off to South-west France soon-will pop in and say hello.
My sweet williams are still flowering now-they seem to have been going for 5/6 weeks-will think of some alternatives-would love to see some pictures of you garden Jenny so if you could??
Off to the doctor's soon-a 20 minute stroll away-in the sunshine
It is already looking sunny here could be a lovely day, I will need to get the hosepipe out soon.
My adventures in east London were exciting, MIL loved the flowers, I pulled up some weeds for her and have brought back 2 more containers that will need planting up. There was quite a buzz around there, I saw a few soldiers with their pink patches and the stadiums look fantastic. The traffic was not good we were stationery at 11pm, OH says they are making a right mess of the roads.
I have a dentist appointment this morning but I will not be able to stroll there.
I have seen Pam's garden!! I have to say its totally amazing, and so beautiful - OH came with me and we were both wandering round going 'wow, look at that! 'look at that!' Pam even gave me a cutting to take home. Have to say the coffee cake and fruit cake were both lovely too. I might have to pop in for more cuttings.......those fuchsias are spectacular.
I have taken some photos so hopefully will post some on here when I've got them off the camera. Got home and looked round our somewhat tatty garden and decided we need to do a lot of work!
Sun is shining, sky is blue, summer is here at last!
Am back- and live to fight another day-there is still life in the old dog yet
I would love to see the stadium and all the paraphernalia we should be proud of our Country-come over all patriotic there for a moment-it must be the sun

I'm so envious, Lottie, I would imagine it's every bit as good as you describe.....one day maybe.

I trust that the sheep will not be taken to the stadium via the traditional method of droving, then.
