    I love Gardeners  World but agree with Obelixx  last time I saw it there was a flower arranging bit and before that I saw a how to make pest,   change is meant to be good for us so I will keep an open mind

    I get more fact from Beechgrove which is suitable for us in the north

    Good idea B Lizzie. I bet the garden is starting to look good.

    Where is everyone? It's hours since anyone posted. This thread used to be so chatty.

    Cooking dinner, just waiting for water to simmer for the rice. Thought I'd pop in.

    Haven't quite caught up on here either! 

    Sorry LP - didn't see your post this morning - I left for work. The thriller is quite moody and dark, but an awful lot of red herrings. Can't make up my mind about it. I'm struggling to keep track of the various people. Perhaps I'm just getting old....image image

    Doggie bix look quite good...image

    Not sure about GW either. Don't care for that girl doing the 'testing'. Probably just me though. Proper explanations are vital for young folk just starting out, so I hope they address that well.  Will reserve judgement. image

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



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

    I've been trying to sort my iPhone out - it was misbehaving - thought I was going to have to call on your Lovely Hub Wonky - but fortunately your brother came to the rescue - apparently it needed a Hard Reboot, and I gave it one image

    And I've been weeding, shouting at slugs who've laid eggs in the damp lawn edges, picking spinach and beans, and cutting a bunch of dahlias. 

    We'll see you at Helmingham on the 18th Wonky - is your Genesis garden furniture going to have a stall?  Think they should image  They should give them one for free as they a charity.

    Evening all.

    It's getting dark already and there's a cool breeze.image

    I noticed the brambles in the hedgerows were ripening when I was out today.

    Autumn tomorrow.

    That looks like a good day out Wonky.  Shame I'm too far away.  Make sure you're in the first 800 for the free plantsimage.

    It IS quiet Lizzie.  I've been trying to sort out the big cupboard in the utility room which was getting dangerous as if you moved one thing something else would fall down/overimage.  I blame OHimage.  Obelixx it' bad enough doing that.  Heaven knows how you're managing to sort a whole house (and garden).  Many kudos coming your wayimage.

    Hope you've enjoyed your rice Lizzie.  Did you have anything with it?image

    All the hawthorns round here are covered in berries Joyce. Not too warm today either - about fifteen at best and windy with heavy showers image

    Does that mean you kicked it very hard Dove?  image
