    I thought last night's show was the best so far. 

    More plants/ gardens: less pretentious waffle. 

    For me, still too much " back story" videos. I wish I had the greenhouse the herpatica guy has, but it cost more than the average UK house .

    Devon.

    Sorry Bushman. For that I would probably have attempted to do it.  Good on you! I hope Big Pats farewell was good.

    No worries Pat, many stories told of daring do's and a life well lived

    Hi Lantana. Didn't see you there earlier.  Re letting the dog in the bedroom - our friend isn't very good about keeping up to date with flea treatment (says she with a halo floating above).  As it is, HRH has been scratching today image.  Hubby has been going up the hill to Mindy on a regular basis, and has left the TV and a light on for her tonight. He'll go up again first thing in the morning. Also, Rolf's son is coming up from the coast where he lives, tomorrow, so she'll have a bit of company. She seems quite happy in the house on her own.

    Little poppets are in bed so I have a moment of peace and quiet. DIL is coming home for lunch.

    Yes Lily P, grandson will be 1 on 22nd June and other grandson was 2 on 9th May. I have 9 grandchildren.

    Will help daughter 2 clean their new house next week before they move in that weekend. 2 more little poppets, girl and boy, 7 and 5. Then early July I will see son 1 and 2 little g daughters then daughter 1 and 3 sons.

    Daughter 1 will be moving house too, end of June. May help with unpacking. Son 1 lives 5 hours away, he moved further away last year because of his job, engineer.

    Good morning all, hi Patimage

    Lizzie I did wonder where you were but thought you were away again.  That must have been a scary storm.  Especially waiting to see what may have been damaged,  Glad insurance is taking care of the costs.

    Bushman you must be absolutely shattered.  Take it easy today and keep drinking the coffeeimage.  Hosta, good luck with the hypnotherapist this afternoon.

    Patimage.  You don't want that!

    Morning all, weather is very overcast here but I am still going to garden image, May onwards is for outside no matter the weather. Trust everyone is good and happy image.

    Good for you Mynximage.  I must admit to being more of a fair weather gardenerimage.

    LilyP it is very overcast here too and a bit of drizzle in the air but I don't think it's as cold as yesterday.  I could have done with gloves on when I took the dog for the morning amble.  I've just been out to pick up a dead starling off the lawnimage.  There's no sign of it hitting a window or being mauled by a cat. Poor thing.

    Chelsea was great last night and I loved the man with the Hepeticas too.  He was so emotional and obviously cared that his plants had been through a hard time.  Bless himimage.
