    Evening All,

    Sorry for my absence, tricky times here but I'm ok. Missing all your chatter. On kindle in my bedroom but battery is about to die so I just wanted to say hello and hopefully  I'll get a chance to be more interactive soon. Had a sneak peak a the garden at my new house last evening, lots of potential I'm sure. Counting the days. Must go before power, hope you are all ok, big virtual hugs to everyone. ????

    Hi Fairy,  a Bobhowler is a big moth.  Must be local slang, I wonder if RB recognises the term, she's quite local to me.  

    Lovely harebell by the way.

    Lovely hydrangeas Dewdrops - hope you start feeling a little better soon.image

    Nice harebell Fairy - they seeded everywhere in my last garden so I'm not sure I will introduce them here. Pretty though - so maybe image

    DD - good to hear you sounding positive about your new home - things are falling into place slowly but surely image

    Thanks for the reminder about GW Lesley - really enjoyed it tonight - all the articles were of interest  - green with envy for that beautiful garden in Somerset. Hosta might also enjoy the item about miniature hostas image

    GWRS - tripe image. My dad used to like it too - I can't bear the texture image
