    Phew,I was getting worried, especially as she lives alone.

    We sent a delivery out last week and the delivery driver could not  get an answer despite banging loudly. She said she was sleeping on the sofa. my first words were... was she breathing.? yes, snoring quite loudly... always a good sign.

    Fidget, I would be up for meeting, state of mind permitting.

    How can you lie there and think of England

    Good morning all, hi Patimage

    Glad Marion's OK Liriimage.

    WW your greenhouse will come in very handyimage.  I just have the four tier type so could be tempted.  I always weigh it down with bricks on the bottom struts and that seems to hold it in place.

    Pdoc I like the sound of your fish on sticks.  They would look lovely swimming through some swaying grassesimage.  

    If you're looking in Fairy I hope you feel better soon.

    Hope all goes as well as it can this afternoon KEF.

     I am planning a walk amongst the bluebells at Felley priory. I had a whacky idea. The kitchen is almost finished, it has to be tiled and painted. The splashback behind the hob is a sparkly dark blue. The run opposite has a space between the work surface and the wall cupboards. What to do? hubby has found a firm that can print any photo onto glass to make a panorama.  A bluebell wood panorama....

    Punkdoc.. I thought a swap meet at the end of May.Most plants in pots would be ready to go straight out by then.

    I did have a pair of goldfinches taking seed out of the real dandelion heads yesterday, but these are what cheer me up every day.

    I rather like that idea fidgetbones.  My friend is bringing her car over on the ferry tomorrow for our annual plant swap of split plants. It's a bit like online ordering beforehandimage  My "must do" list has nearly been completed.  Out later for my 2 hours off . . .coffee in friend's garden.

    I hope you can get some peace fairy with the extension work going on.

    Hi all - thanks for all the kind messages but I'm fine! Rumours of my demise etc....image

    Computer's been a bit hit and miss and I've had other things to do. Will have to catch up later as I don't really have time just now.

    It's not too bad Joyce, thank you, but they broke the latch on the back gate yesterday. Why are people so b****y useless that they can't shut a gate behind them? I've only just replaced it because someone else did the same.  image

    Glad Marion is fine. She's remarkable  image

    Love the idea for your glass fidget. Delightful on a dull day. image

    I will now attempt to read back before heading back to work. Have a good day everyone

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



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

    Glad you're ok Fairy ((hugs))  broken latch excepted image

    Get them to put one of those spring thingies on the gate so it'll close for them.

    We've been waiting ages for the Water Company to come and repair a broken main at the bottom of our road as a lake was beginning to form - why do they wait until the first day I can get out into the garden to start their pneumatic drills??? image
