    I nearly got brother cadfael, bizzie, went for eglantine instead, not all that impressed, smallish flowers and few, not great fragrance, I won' t buy any more only seen online, I've been disappointed with 3 roses I hadn't seen in the flesh

    Yviestevie, love your little round frames and string of lights.

    Also hydranga and pond is very pretty, Buzzie B.

    Finally time to sit down and catch up properly image Garden all watered and so am I image

    Artjak your jug pic is so lovely, is that phlox on the left? If yes does it still have lovely scent indoors?

    The pickle jar and sweet peas so so pretty.  Is the painting on the wall similar to your profile picture? The green in them is my current most favourite colour, think some call it Provence green? Really gorgeous paintings image

    Bizzie b hope you saw my quick note earlier as you haven't asked sford yet, would hate you to think I would mind image Thank you for your pond pics, it is amazing and the borders spectacular, it's more a pool than a pond! Really really special image

    Yviestevie my jug is portmeirion dawn chorus, thank you for liking, collected for my birthday a couple of years ago 

    The rose you put in the plain white jug looks really lovely and hope the original plant you moved iS settling in ok in this heat 

    Sweet peas do look so good in the crystal wine glasses and was hoping to pinch your idea but my wine  glasses have long stems and don't trust the cats wandering past them!

    star gaze white is the only colour hydrangea I haven't got and after seeing your fab pic that is def going on my wish list

    Rosemummy looked up the bottles you mentioned and they sure are lovely. can you buy new or are they found on auction sites or such like?

    sorry long message but wanted to respond to you all as really enjoying all your posts imagexx
