Jean I found the conclusion disappointing let me know what you think.
Glyn. I thought it was a rom-com based on a popular book, boy and girl meet, fall out, meet again, etc was not prepared for the sad ending. It was a bit controversial as Anne Hathaway plays a northern lass, and I have to admit I thought her varying accent was very disturbing.
Now that is an idea, I do have a choc ice. I am off snailing but may have one after that.
That second pic of Harlow Carr...those Helenium and Monarda looked so fantastic when I went there I just had to get some for my garden.
I would love to go to Gordon Riggs GC at Todmorden, haven't been for years but going there with my grandparents used to be a regular treat when I was little!
I ended up potting up my free Penstemons from T&M today. Some are looking a bit on the sickly side so will have to see if they survive.
You'd see a big difference in G Riggs Nola, it is a lot bigger than it used to be and they have one in Rochdale too. I pass it on my way home from work, so often go in for a wander. It's difficult to get out without buying something. N. Yorkshire must be a lovely place to live.
Kate, don't think I'll bother with that film. I'm reading a good book at the mo though, Wife #19, really enjoying it. Dound it in the charity shop.
I usually drag my family round the Rochdale one when I am visiting family over that way. I usually leave plenty of space in the car and have been known to fill up the footwells too!
North Yorks is lovely, not far from Harlow Carr, Newby Hall (lovely gardens) and Fountains Abbey.
Kate- I was pleased this year to get hold of Pentemon "Garnet" again. I lost mine in the previous 2 bad winters but had been really successful until then. It flowered non stop from June to late Autumn. Part of it came with me when I moved house making two lovely sized clumps.
Morning all, looks like it is going to be a lovely day. Decided to spend my final day of freedom in the garden before the onslaught tomorrow. Just having a cuppa and a browse before I start.
Nola, never been to the Rochdale one, as we are only a couple of miles from the Tod one. Haven't been to Newby Hall, is it worth a visit? Is it NT? By the way, if you scroll back a few pages, you will find a list of real names, Geoff, whom you haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet, told me that Penninepetal was too much of a mouthful (or at least a word full!). He's back from France next week and he can always be relied on to make you chuckle.
It is lovely here but the builders are working on a sunday
Glyn enjoy your last day of freedom.
I am beginning to think I have a duff penstemon, it grows but does not flower, this is the problem with cuttings from other peoples gardens you often do not have a named variety.
Just having a break for a scone and a cuppa! Afraid not totally focused, just doing a bit of this and that. Have cut down some of the old stems from my very tall shrub rose. The variegated holly next to it has grown like mad, so just trying to work out which bits to cut out.
I don't have a lot of luck with penstemons either Kate. No flowers left on the 2 I bought and no new flowers coming.

Nola does that suggest that you are a Northener?
I have had a choc ice and I have stopped weeping.
Someone is having a party, what I find annoying is that you just hearing the thump of the music.
Kate, don't think I'll bother with that film. I'm reading a good book at the mo though, Wife #19, really enjoying it. Dound it in the charity shop.
P.S. Nola, hooked already!!
Nola do you have any joy with penstemons? I have been waiting 3 years for mine to flower
Glyn I only watched the film because my sister read the book and recommended it. I am now watching Sweet Charity
