    LP - I think we got the gist....image image

    You must be knackered obelixx! Meant to say - the photos you posted of your garden recently were lovely. Everything looking very healthy and happy. Hope the weather holds for you tomorrow. 

    Heating's been on here too ....image

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



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

    Well I did it, but what an awful faff.  Certainly wont be doing many of them.  Used to post photos all the time.

    Well done Yvie, imageI've yet to even attempt posting a pic on this new set up.

    Yvie - do you have the Windows Photo Gallery then? When I put pix on from my camera, that's where they go automatically. If you do, click on Edit in the headings, the resize option is there, as well as the auto adjust for sharpening the colour and straightening them.  image

    Very pretty though Yvie - worth the effortimage.

    LilyP how lovely that you will all be together for Gd's birthday.  Start cooking nowimage.  It did get much colder again and the rain and drizzle doesn't help muchimage.  Had an interesting afternoon rescuing an injured jackdaw.  Managed to catch it and put it in a box and the SSPCA have been this evening to collect it.  

    Have a good day again tomorrow Obelixximage.  I'm looking forward to your slideshow.

    Good evening all! 

    Back from the Big Smoke.  Wow!  I was brought up in Hertfordshire and used to know how London fitted together, so to speak, but it doesn't look the same 40 years since my last visit...  But Chelsea was fab; freezing cold (I saw an American visitor buying gardening gloves to wear going round the show) but so worth visiting.  I've come back with loads of ideas and inspirations.  image  Photos too - I'll post some when I find the appropriate thread.  Like Chicky I was impressed by the planting in the LG garden (but not the design particularly).  I liked Andy Sturgeon's better than I'd expected; the colour palette was very subdued - greens and rusty orange, principally - but I found that restful, and I felt the design worked, though it was a bit spiky for my taste.  I'd find it hard to pick a favourite.  Many had bits I liked and others I didn't so much.  

    Managed to fit in a visit to the British Museum on Tuesday...

    ...and the National Gallery this morning...

    Off to look for the Chelsea photo thread!

    Can't find a specific thread for Chelsea photos... anyone know where Chicky & Obelixx are posting theirs, please?
