Evening all, just back from a lovely afternoon at Arley Hall in Cheshire, gardens and particularly herbaceous borders were looking wonderful. Sat and watched the swallows swooping around the walled garden in the sunshine. Nice lunch and perfect appe pie and cream. Forgot the camera!
Kate - I haven't taken cuttings of the Cuphea Tiny Mice plant but I don't see why you can't - have a go - they have two chances
Thankyou for the recipe Lottie - I will try it tomorrow
Jean - not all my cuttings succeed but they are well worth the try I would never be able to be so OTT with my front garden if I had to buy all the plants
Glyn, sounds a fab. outing. I am entertaining my 9 year old niece for two days so no chance of visiting gardens or watching swooping swallows for long.
Cat news. There is none. No phone calls. Twink has become more adventurous today. I've found a good way to clean behind furniture, especially when there are lots of cables there. You just have to brush the cobwebs off the kitten when he emerges!!
Glad you enjoyed your day Glyn - and the apple pie ! I need a pair of stillettos.
I think Twinks has a new home . How many days Flo ?
Just watching '' A mothers son '' Up to now it looks good . It will have to do - I haven't the energy to reach for the remote ! Feel like I've been ran over ! Day of rest tomorrow and the ironing 's still not done !
Inkadog - I am now picturing you aerating the lawn :- D :- D
Sadly, Jean, I cannot keep little Twink as I have three dogs, two of whom would eat him. He's living in OH's 'den' and has to be confined to a large dog-cage when we're not keeping him company. Luckily, being so young, he wears himself out and sleeps a lot. It's 4 days now. I've told the vets, Cats Protection and I've put up a few posters in nearby roads. I can hang on for a few more days but he'll have to go to a rehoming centre. I'll miss him, though.

My goodness,Dean--where did you get that photo of me in my gardening togs?
Dinner is Gammon Steak, with Carrots and New Potatoes, both from the garden!!!
Hahaha Dean - I'll have to agree with you on that one. Those heels are far too high for gardening - she needs a sensible pair of wellies !
Becks and Flo you'ld be surprised at what I have stored on my laptop !
Pam - your cuttings are amazing - I need lessons .
Kate - the ox eye daisies have been planted under the tree. Just come in now and had a shower , the weather has been lovely. All babies planted.

Spike heels work a treat aerating the lawn. And it gives the neighbours something to gossip about.
Got to make the most of my last week of holidays Flo.
