    Hi Flowerbird. I have to pace myself these days, otherwise I would be crawling everywhere! Have to realise I am not 21 anymore and can't keep going for hours with no break.  Glorious day, so short break and back to tackle those pesky weeds.

    GG and I are convinced we're still 27 - and only our backs dare say different image

  • Welcome back flowerbird, I feel what your saying dovefromabove & tinaturner. Even though I am 24 I am nearly 39 weeks pregnant & am having to tell myself to take more regular breaks.

    But I am always find something else in the garden that needs pulling up or doing! Will be glad when this baby is here so I can go back to my old ways & just get on with it! image



    I do love my gardening also I hope everybody is making the most of this gorgeous sun some of us seem to be having especially down here in the south!

    Barbara, welcome back, even when I can't garden and like to think about it. Nothing wrong with a bit of vicarious gardening either. There is always your knowledge to share too. Don't overdo it though, you have to look after your health. I would like a smiley with a pained expression for when I have done too much gardening.image

    Becks, I am not surprised that Jess is computer-savvy, when you are so good at it yourself.image

    Gloucestergirl - just you take it steady!!!!  

    Looks like we're going to be 'aunties' image

    My baby was 37 this week - she was born at the beginning of the amazing drought summer of 1976 - we don't want one of those again, but warm sunshine and gentle rain in equal measure would be good image

    Ah Dove, what a great sumer that was. Smiley with sunglasses! I was a student in Birmingham, spent the spring term in the South of France to improve my French. 21 deg at midnight in June. Memories, humming to myselfimage

    I moved into my first 'proper' house and garden 6 weeks before my first daughter was born (I was slightly older than you Ggirl!) It was very hot that summer and she  kept me waiting till 4th July -Independence Day( sign of things to come!). I'm impressed that you're at that stage and still able to function but I know what you mean about weeds etc! Hope all goes well. image

    My 'baby' turns 19 this year and younger one will be 16...I'm not old enough to have teenagers...honest!

    I'm really only 27...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It was great wasn't it - I'd planted a some trees and a hedgerow early!  As there was a hosepipe ban I spent the entire summer carrying buckets of water from our bath to water them - no wonder I lost my post-baby bulge quickly

    Oh, Gloucestergirl, I envy you.  Best times of my life carrying my babies, well, with the exception of one!!  What a lovely time to have him/her too.  All the summer ahead of you and, hopefully, good weather.  I'm only 21, by the way.  Younger than Dove.  Oops, best not look in the mirror.image
