  • I have a dongle at work, proper internet at home! 

    I have posted pictures, just not ones of the front of my house - which looks more like a car park than anything else to be honest. And the back garden is just a mess! 

    I've had a call from my Mum this evening to say that Grandad has been taken into hospital - this is worrying news.

    Bjay your grass looks so lovely, weedfree and green. Grass here just doesn't grow like in England. When my French son-in-law came to England with us for the first time he rolled on the lawn and ran on it with bare feet! - it was in a garden open to the public.

    I agree with Geoff, make the beds bigger, but I would keep more than 50% of the lawn, I like lawns. Anyway it's winter, so nothing's out.

    Goodnight.

    Lottie I hope your Grandad is OK. There are lots of bugs in winter.

    As a whole there isn't anything to come out. There is a ceanothus on the plain wall which was very sad (cheap) and I am nurturing. I organised the jubilee street party so some of the neighbours gave me a Queen Elizabeth rose, there is a lovely shrub by the drainpipe with a gorgeous scent but I have no idea what it is, have attempted to take cuttings!!. The Budleia you can see is one of these Buzz ones and I dislike it and wish I hadn't put it in so it will go.

    The grass is in fact blackish as we have had it moss treated, that compliment really made me smileimage

    Thanks I will talk more tomorrow. Goodnight

    Morning forkers, woke early so I thought I would try and have a catch-up and then perhaps go back to bed image

    All your homes and gardens look lovely and thank you for sharing them with us. I am sure all the people who live in them are lovely,too, otherwise what would they be doing on a gardening forum?

    Both my home and garden are 'work in progress' but perhaps if I ever see my camera again I shall take a few photos of the minute front and small back garden.

    I wonder what the weather is going to be like today? According to Accuweather we should have a few hours of sunshine this morning so I think I shall go for a healthy walk to the supermarket and then bus back!

    Geoff, what was it I didn't understand? I am always ready to learn.

    Heating just come on so perhaps I shall just pop back to bed with a cup of tea and do some reading - I belong to a book group and the book this time is very large and difficult to read in bed at night!

    Bye for now and all have an enjoyable day - btw it is Friday. I shall be pleased when Monday comes along and we are, within reason, back to normalimage
