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.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
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 smile
Morning forkers, woke early so I thought I would try and have a catch-up and then perhaps go back to bed
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 normal

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