Morning everyone, Very odd. I posted a few items last night , but they've vanished ??? Pam, to coin Gary's phrase that is a beautiful rose '' Flower of the Day''. Maybe one day I may be as good as you . I'm surprised you haven't got your own nursery, - you definitely have a gift when it comes to growing (and taking cuttings of course . )
Glad you enjoyed your evening and Rocky has settled down again. My cats are the same when we have visitors.
Kate, I don't think that was ''proper '' cornish ice cream - S/ Markets own brand. Not a bit like I remember it to be. Geoff must be having a lie-in after his disturbed night.
There wasn't much on TV last night that appealed to me (not being a fan of XF) so watched BBC4 documentary about deserts. There, it only rains once every 6 years or so. When it does rain the people have a celebration. The men paint themselves and chant, while 3 women judge them. Each woman judge picks one man. The 'prize' is that the man has the woman judge for the night.
Jess is amusing me. .a programme on BBC4 called Human Planet about desserts. Many questions about what they are doing.
Some of the photography was impressive, and it was followed by a 'behind the scenes' film showing how they filmed it. The people who make these films seem to be on one long holiday - driving around the desert in 4-wheel-drive trucks and playing with long-range cameras.
They're very welcome to some of our rain. Looks like a wet week ahead. Should be dry this morning, so really need to get some jobs done.
I've been lucky with my dahlias this year. I take a chance and leave them in the ground covered with a layer of bracken. Not too keen on these big doubles. my favourites are 'Bishop's Children' and so easy to grow from seed.
Horrible day here. We have an amber weather warning.
Kate and Pam, they are gorgeous - there is a distinct lack of colour in my garden at the moment. I am very jealous. May give the dahlias another go next year.
You may have a day of rest , Kate. The builders may be attending church. Don't know what happened with the posts - very odd.
Sorry to say Pam, we have sunshine and it' s a nice day here but we are due to get our soaking later.
Nice steady rain here, I'm pleased to see it though hope it doesn't out-stay its welcome! A good chance that it will get the fungi fruiting so I can go out with my camera tomorrow.
Here's a sunflower from a packet called 'Vincent's mixture'. I got them because that was my Dad's name. I like yellow best but it was interesting to see other colours.

Second bit was meant for Glyn ! Think I need more coffee.
