Yes to recording, but we like to watch it live, otherwise the TV news gives the winners the next moring and spoils it for us, We've never got into motor racing - don't know why, but that's just the way it is.
You might be interested in looking at Marion's Bristol Garden site, as I managed, after a big struggle, to get a photo of one of my paintings on it.
I must admit, the only Tour I could think of was the cycling, but I thought that might be something different you have over there. I will certainly look up and see if I can find your painting. Have to confess not to be "into" watching any kind of sport, Tennis all those blasted stupid noises they make! Motor racing is noisy, plus the commentator screaming, as well. Not anti excersise, we used to cycle every weekend before moving here (where its hilly) Oh, my Husband is also screaming at the TV, football, no - they earn far too much money. Dog walking as you know, have done full contact karate, played badminton, squash.
NannyB, I particularly like seeing various chateaus which the helicopter usually circles on the Tour . The gardens are spectacular. Also, the changing landscape from the flat lands of the Netherlands this year to the high basque mountains and everything in between. I'm so glad we didn't miss yesterday's segment. Apart from being patriotic and watching an Australian come second on a most horrendous mountain finish, the countryside was amazing.
How are we going with the Rose colour discussion? Has anyone decided if fertility and/or watering affects the colour? I'd really like to know since my plants are very dependent on my watering regime which is very hit and miss, and our soils are very poor in nutrition. I also have noticed that if you go to an old neglected cemetery, the only surviving plants, are usually roses. They very tough.
I thought I had answered. When flowers are hungry or hungry because they are too thirsty to absorb nutrients they, and their leaves, go paler. Flowers are usually smaller too.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Pat E, I can hear the artist in you, I did look through a lot of pics of Marions Bristol garden, couldnt find your. I have never heard of Roses changing colour because of feeding! Leaves going pale, yes.

Just wanted to say SwissSue that that rose is beautiful! Is it scented?
