Flowers all look great, you would look lovely on my table SGL. I have real jug envy and the moment, the blue one looks really good next to the birdies and I love the terracota one, right up my street.
The door looks fab BM much better than UPVC and I love the colour of that lobelia.
Obelixx hope you are feeling OK following the op. I wonder if you are male or female, I have you as a male in my head but maybe I'm wrong.
I'm female! The feet ops were last year but it meant a whole year off gardening and starting gently this spring. I can now walk my dogs and do a full day in the garden when I have the opportunity but I can't do swivels and pivots when dancing solo so no more line dancing. Ballroom and salsa are OK though.
Couldn't do any crafty stuff last year either so no furniture painting but I did get a lot of embroidery done and took up patchwork and even had a go at knitting in winter.

Thank you artjak for your lovely pics After the day I have had it was lovely to come home to. We are going to have takeaway, take beau up the fields and then I shall do myself some displays inspired by yours
Yviestevie the jug was in the clearance bit in home sense so was well pleased
Thank you for liking my door, we got it off eBay and then OH worked so hard putting it in with new frame etc, painting it etc I just wanted to show it of.
Hope your arm is bit better today? Glad you liked the table arrangement I did for you Hope too your mum got on ok yesterday, was thinking of you xx
I guessed Obelixx was female You got me thinking now who's who
Sorry bm, I never replied to your post a few days ago, yes, we should have lessons at artjaks! And artjaks, what is that amazing rose in the last picture, the cottage garden bouquet?beautiful. Gave a strong desire for a stable door for our kitchen to back garden , one day when I have time I'll find one and get it to fit....!
Missed you Bizzie past couple of days This pic is really lovely and lucky you still having sweet peas Mine all gone over now and I can see your gorgeous hydrangea too, what a beauty
In spite of the rainy weather I've been looking at gardens in the area, a 'home holiday'. Not many photos but can recommend Woolerton Old Hall Gardens, excellent web site with photos just like the garden. Check out their front garden! my tablet camera couldn't do it justice.
The hydrangea has taken a beating from the rain the photo on the 'star...' thread shows how much. Although their colours are softer shades now there is still one or two blue left. Had to stake them - more rain to come.
On the plus side the grass is greener, the rugosa has more hips...changing seasons

The label has faded on that rose, but it is a climber from rosebuddies.com

Who was it that was liking tangerine geums? As see they have in Waitrose, nice big pots too for seven poUnds which I thought wasn't bad
