I think you timed that exceptionally well fidget - well done!
Next time- make hubby drive though...
Sorry your day was spoilt. Hope you're feeling better now. Horrible having that kind of journey when you're feeling rough too
Bushman - don't your lot get 'flashes' done for the riders? ( short, printed ribbons with a pin at the top to fasten on) We do loads of them for different organisations. Think we've just done one for Peebles, and we do a big one in early spring - forgotten who it's for right enough
Hosta - fingers crossed you're turning the corner with the sleeping.
Lovely to have a grass snake too. I just saw a collared dove sitting on the fence round the outside school at work. He/she must have good balance - it's whole body was lying on/across the top rail
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairy, yes we do have flashes/rosettes for each individual who casts a flag. Peebles has the belting at the end of the month. Its a very busy time in the borders as each major town has its own festival. June is Hawick then Selkirk finally Peebles. July is Gala, Jedburgh and Kelso. August is Langholm, Lauder and Coldstream.
Hello All, (quickly) have read back but no time to write much.
Hope sofa surfers are feeling better, Lizzie gets her flight, Hosta continues to sleep well, Fidget isn't sick again and Hazel, really sorry to hear you sad news, not good timing.
Bushman, I don't know what to say, I'm with PP.
Big Thank you to Joyce too - will reply properly later but a huge envelope of Postcards arrived this morning for the children, very, very grateful.
Right, off to work, wedding day today, welcome dinner last night went well, still raining - I finish at 2am - hope we don't get washed away in the mud.
Catch you all later.

Hosta brilliant news about the sleeping - also the grass snake - I wonder if they might lay eggs in your heaps of woodchippings.
Fidget, poor you Hope you're feeling right as rain very soon
We're back from the Giacometti exhibition - fabulous - and yet again we count our blessings to have the Sainsbury Centre http://scva.ac.uk/ right on our doorstep.
DD - there are more postcards in the post
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Gosh you lot. I'm stuck in front of Tele for a few hours (currently watching Voice South Africa) and now I've needed to go back several pages to catch up with you all.
So sorry your day was rotten Fidget. Maybe I shouldn't have wished you and your mother a good day at Highgrove. I might have jinxed you.
Best wishes for sick people and, of course, the poorly dog. I can sympathise with that. HRH has a temperamental digestion as well. She's been making her presence felt tonight beside me on the lounge chair (Hubby and I have been rapidly scrambling for hankies until the air cleans).
as usual we have gone past midnight. When will we learn? No wonder we sleep in every morning.
i can hardly wait for them to announce the winner in SA.
Fidget, what a nightmare! I hope you are feeling better now.
I've been to work, rain, flash floods and chestikoff children meant it was really quiet, so even though I was one member of staff down we managed to finish up early. That gave me a few minutes to deadhead some plants when I got home.
My own chestikoff is getting better, just home the little germ machines at work didn't pass on a different strain of chestikoff.
Back to sofa surfing with the husband and cats.....thankfully no football in our house!

20:20 hindsight is a marvellous thing.

All those men in kilts.
I've come over all flustered!
