Yes Fruitcake three semi-bungalows are taking the place of the pub. They have reached the stage of putting on the roofs. It has been a bit noisy up in my butterfly garden while demolition and the outsides being built was going on but will be quietr when they are working inside. Rain has arrived as promised so the garden is very wet but the forecast is fine after 11. I doubt whether it has been enough to fill the waterbutts though. Pat, no need to join. The Forum is open to all. Lots of people read my meanderings and a few feel like chatting so please do. To catch up on last year's story of my garden just click on to 2014. On that thread i wrote for the whole year on my doings in my Golden Anniversary celebrations in my garden as I had been tending it for 50 years -51 now..
Thanks Marion. I've just turned 75 and have been gardening for most of my life. I really enjoyed the little hints etc that you have given us. I went out today and cut some of my Forsythia and have put them in a vase inside. We have been having minus 6.8 to minus 5 nearly every morning since the beginning of June and the days have been miserable. Some days the fog didn't lift until lunch time or later. All of my vegetables are under cloches. We couldn't work out how to put a photo on the site, but me may be able to work it out as time goes by. We had snow a couple of weeks ago on the mountain range across the valley.
Of course New South Wales and six months difference. How interesting. Also explains how you have time to trawl through my posts! If you click the little tree icon you should get started on learning to post pics as it leads you through it. I only got a computer when I was eighty and had to learn fast but at almost 87 I can cope with most things. I was born and bred in the hillfoots of central Scotland so grew up used to seeing snow on the hills. Some years the corries on the peaks were never free of it all year.
Pat, when you click on the oak tree icon you will probably get an error message after you have selected your photo, click on bottom right where it says OK and it will go away. But if you don't have a lap top like mine, eg tablet, you may have to click on something else. If you have slow broadband, like me, you will have to wait a bit for each stage.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Linda, that bowl of flowers is just beautiful. Love your welcome sign flumpy, not so sure about the brilliant but I do try my best. Half time at the Women's World Cup and no goals score yet. i do hope the English girls have enough stamina in what seems like a very hot evening.

Good morning Marion.

Thanks Marion and busy-lissie
I'll get my husband to have another go at it after he has finished watching Masterchef Australia. They had Heston on it yesterday! Whooo!
Late afternoon storm. Makes gardening interesting.
Wow. fifty shades of grey. Pat! Well done to your husband for cracking the post pictures code. And such a stunning picture.
Marion-this is the first bunch of flowers that I have picked this year.
Rather proud of them!!
Also my cut flower patch, but it has turned out to be the Poppy Patch instead!
