Turned out well Pat. Glad that the doctor was pleased with you and that your couple of stressful days didn't affect you as much as you thought it would.
Pdoc your pics are on the Garden Pictures thread. I've just been having a look and Trenham lo be a magical place.
Dove I'm pleased to hear that the end of the tunnel is now within sight.
Oh Rb, you had me on tenterhooks there waiting for your last word. It's flipping cold up here today but OH has cut the grass before it rains and I've sown grass seed over the bare patches at the front where we had two trees removed last year. I think he's ruined the lawnmower though as he put in the wrong petrol. If we have to get a new one I'd like one with an ignition rather than the pull cord. Only eldest son can start it.
Hazel, I did the iOS update a couple of days ago but luckily had no problems. Hope you're sorted out now. It's great to be able to zoom again.
Thanks Hazel. It WAS a b.... of a pattern, but I've got it sorted now. The child's mother has sent the wool for a second dress, but I'll wait to see how the size fits, before I start.
sorry I missed your birthday PDoc. Best wishes belatedly to you.
hi to everyone else - I can't remember more than a couple of posts. I think I owe Lesley an acknowledgement as well. Sorry, I'm hopeless at remembering.
Hazel the type on this site has always looked tiny to me and I've never been able to increase the size either. No different after the update though. At least now the pinch zoom has been restored I just increase the size of the page. Sorry I can't help you out.
Somebody posted some beautiful pictures of a garden with wonderful sculptures that they had recently visited. I wast to show them to my husband and I can't find them.
Afternoon all. Just got back from Chelsea and am exhausted. No pics yet cos the camera battery gave out just as I got to Chris Beardshaw's garden. Fortunately I had my phone with me. Just need to get home so Possum can help me download them. As soon as the camera has juice again I'll share those photos. Loved Diarmuid's garden. It's mad with its twirling trees and up and down sliding window boxes and the clockwork model of inventor in his shed. Good planting too.
Loved Cleve West's garden except for the toy globe which was a jarring note. Loved CB's garden and a couple of others. Hated the Provençal garden - tatty and arid and weedy looking. Might be fine as a wild landscape but not what I want in a garden. Liked the Berber inspired garden which was also arid but looked thought about and considered and had good plants. Mathematical garden very interesting.
Andy Sturgeon's garden was clever but sooooooooooooo dull with its planting. The Yorkshire garden is sumptuous. Lots of glorious planting in other gardens too and the Pavilion was really interesting this year . We did not queue to go through the train and we did not queue to peer thru the hole in the granite block but we did peer thru telescopes at the eye of the needle sculptures at the Birmingham city garden. Absolutely mad but wonderful.
I took my secateurs to the Felco stand for restorative surgery. They spent 6 months over wintering in a compost heap after Possum tossed them in with the pelargoniums she'd been dead-heading. All seized up and the blade has chips in it. Chappy said he'd never seen anything like them but they'll be delivered, fixed, to SIL in Lancashire in 2 weeks' time. I bought spare blades and springs for my other pair.
Also bought seeds - fancy primulas, pollinator attractors, clematis koreana and herbs plus some lily bulbs and a Zimbabwean metal crane and 3 rusty peony supports. Great fun in the tube back out to friends' house in Ealing. Glad I don't have to do that more than once a year!
Off to put my feet up and have a zizz while the camera charges.

Can someone tell me which thread they're on?
Don't worry Rb you will be aware of the shrivelling and dropping off
Gravity will also play it's part.
