    Had a lovely lunch with theCanadian cousins, and then sat with coffees watching the boats pootle around the Beaulieu river ...very relaxing.

    Good Morning All, image

    Thank you for the congratulations, running that far is always easier for me when there is a big crowd and something distracting to look at like the viaduct. I was please to finish 5 minutes sooner than I expected too, although it was 10 minutes short of my PB, although that was about 10 years ago so I suppose that is understandable. image

    Weather here is supposed to be nice (ish) here today, was red hot on Saturday and apparently rained all day Sunday so the weeds will have been very happy, I need to commence battle, June 12th (Open Day) is looming up fast.image

    Have a good day all.image

    Morning Chicky, Joyce, Dd, MrsG and others as they rise,Hi Patimage

    Congratulations on the run DD.  The bridge looks amazingimage.  Chicky, Jekka's herb garden looked lively on TV last night.  (Hope she doesn't read this but I named our dog after herimage).  Dermot Gavin's garden is mad, as usual, but it did make me laugh.

    It's looking a lovely day atm, maybe I'll manage a bit of tying in - the clematis are a. It of a mess,

    Have a good day everyoneimage.

    Won't let me edit.  I meant Jekka's garden looked lovely.  It was Dermot's that was livelyimage

    Morning all/afties Pat

    Forgot about Chelsea. I sometimes get a bit bored with the repetition of the same gardens and features though, so probably doesn't matter!

    Congrats DD - it's a great feeling to achieve something you've planned and set out to do. image

    I'll have a quick look round before I go - could do with being at home to get on with the digging on this lovely day though...image

    Have a good day everyone, whatever you're doing

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

    Morning everyone

    Quick pop in - office day today - so need to get skates on.

    We had heavy rain last night which the garden needed so no complaints on that score. I put weedkiller on the drive yesterday pm - but it had been down for about 9 hrs before the rain came so I'm hoping it will have had time to start it's work - the drive is green at the moment - consequence of having a drive at the bottom of a slope which tends to flood when it rains hard and all the seeds from the road and hedgerows get washed onto it image

    Well done to DD - I am certain I couldn't run that far - cycle yes - run no image

    Dove - Hope you get into your garden later on - certainly sounds as though you were busy this weekend. I couldn't begin to contemplate moving my shed - would be a 3 day / 4 man job image

    Hope everyone else enjoys their day. I will watch a bit of Chelsea tomorrow / maybe day after then will no doubt lose interest as per. Herb garden sounds interesting....

    Good morning lovely day here

    DD congrats, good time, I think if ever I ran a race i would choose Amsterdamimage

    Fairy that sounds like hard work, go cannyimage

    we have cruised twice, I always swore it wasn't for me then discovered the small ships, actually rather liked it but would still choose to walk a beach and stay on land!

    have had a lovely weekend with good friends in Drymen (near loch Lomond) how I envy their climate. All the rhodies, azaleas camillias and blossoms out, not to mention huge swathes of bluebells, 

    forgot about Chelsea too, will look on catchup  watched Wallender, haven't a clue what it was about!

    have a gold day everyone
