Hello all - hugs for Dove, Wonks and chicky. Lyn - can't believe your situation just seems to be getting worse not better. If you fell and broke your arm/leg would someone come out then as you would be unable to help your Dad, or would you just be left there? It makes me wonder...
Meanwhile, the head of BP gets a 20% pay rise as the company heads south....
Welcome to 21st century Britain. How depressing, and how disgraceful.
Currently 2 degrees here and chucking it down with sleety rain. Supposed to be good tomorrow though. I will therefore be on a hill and won't have to look at my garden...
I shall now have a quick look round to see what mischief you've been up to while I was at work.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I was quite taken by the dark red one with nodding flowers (Meconopsis punicea - just looked it up on line) but I haven't tried it yet, nor M.cookei, similar habit but pinkish. I grow a few of the blue ones, but the slugs love them so it's a constant battle to keep them. For a few years I grew M. quintuplinervia, horrible name for a pretty little plant which runs a bit, but lost it to slugs eventually. They preferred it to the slug pellets around it.
Hope you get reasonable weather for your walk, Fairy. We're due to get your sleety rain tomorrow I think...
My Chelsea flower show ticket arrived this morning!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Fairy good luck with your builder. Max today has been 9C started at 4C and now raining. My blue poppies are loving it
It was around 5 at lunchtime KEF - minging.
The blue poppies would be very happy here - well they would if I liked them
We do have the perfect climate for them. Perhaps I'll change my mind about the colour one day....don't hold your breath....

My friend in Rothesay has yellow Himalayan poppies Fairy as well as the blue.
The yellow ones would fit with my colour scheme Joyce, but I don't have many gaps now - unless I create another border once the extension's built
There's a white one as well....
