rain started just before the soil arrived, typical.
Drive was one of our delivery customers who has been living in a shed with his family whilst he renovates the house on the plot.
I sent him off with a couple of plants for the new garden.
Dropped hubby in town for work, popped into The Factory Shop as they have some cheap £6 shorts which will do for gardening. Great news!!!!! I'm now L and not XL
The news is just depressing. So much senseless violence in Yorkshire and France.
Weather depressing too. Mid June and I'm rugged up as though it were March. More deluges and thunder expected so no gardening again today but I can do some potting indoors and then make a rhubarb cake and some savoury muffins for tonight - last ballroom class of the season.

Just popped in from weeding bed of the day! Really dull still but ok for weeding
hope you and your ladies have a great day bush man. Well done on your skinny shorts hosta!
Just having a coffee and I'll pop back later for cake and muffins thank you obelix
Liri I'm with you with the news, I hide in the garden. I have holes too that need filling if you get bored! Honestly though I wouldn't worry as I promise you they won't notice! I spent four days last bank holiday preparing for visitors and they didn't notice a thing! They are disolutioned in thinking my home and garden always was like that!
they would have heart attack if they popped back today
Dove I do hope you throw this off, such a shame to come home from holiday and be sick.,
DD you still make me dizzy you are so active!
Fairy, how lovely, a new bedroom!
Hosta, please take care, remember that knee!
Bushman have fun and take care
Wonky you ok?
Liro/ Topbird i have many holes And I think that's where our lizard came from?!
Beaus mum, the photo shoot is a gift from my family and is to be a family shot in the garden. This requires loads of weeding and deadheading!! It's extra special as we have a new little one to add and everyone is making a special effort to come for at least the weekend tho the comings and goings are like a timetable !first time we will all have been at the family home in over a year!
praying for a good day!

Oh lily what a wonderful gift. I bet you are so excited and your beautiful garden will be a perfect back drop, weeded or not! A new little one? If I remember was the new little one about same time as star gazes little poppit? I have everything crossed for a good day for you all
Well done Joyce, I've nearly done three hours too, feels like thirty three!
just dug about ten holes and now fuelling on coffee to go and plant them

Morning all.
Topbird, know what you mean... am trying to keep really busy and not watch too many news programmes.
Best wishes to those who are under the weather, or have troubles and upsets.
Filling holes in the wall around the staircase today. Need to do a quick re-paint before our visitors arrive from Ireland at the end of next week.
Have a good day folks
Sorry, missed you Obelixx. I'm with you on the weather too...

I'm off to the big smoke for a conference taking place over the weekend, so no gardening for me this weekend.
More flash flooding around us last night, although we escaped v lightly in our garden, only a few paddling pools appeared:
At least I don't have to ask the husband to water the plants whilst I'm away!
Pleasant mild morning so have done nearly 3 hours planting and weeding
Lots of weeding still to done at the weekend though
