Hi everyone, It's been a beautiful day here lots of sunshine and a nice breeze. Have been out in the garden most of the day. I've fed all the plants and tidied round a bit.
Glad you had a good time Hosta, hope the journey home is OK.
Hosta - photobucket is a way of storing your photos online. You google Photobucket, create a login and then create an album to which you can upload photos. You can make your albums private, shared via a password or public - all free and quite easy. You can the post alink to a single hoto or a whole album.
OH and I are just about set for tomorrow's trip. Cases packed, picnic made, doggy and cat bag ready, stepladder, painting cloths and paint ready to go on the roof rack and in the roof box respectively. Secateurs packed too as there are two rampant wisterias to sort out before they raise the roof.
Dewdrops - OH went to empty the kitchen Compost Corner on the heaps and found a gathering of slugs at the ground feed for the birds. He's chopped them all in two. Mega Yuk!
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Even by my standards, I had a hideous night . Lots of door slamming and folk talking loudly whilst smoking right below our bedroom window, at 4am. I mean!!, the softness of the bed has eventually got to me, so I'm kinda aching all over.
Flight delayed by 20 mins so we don't even take off for over 2 hours.
I'm JUST old enough to remember when air travel was enjoyable, now you're just self loading cargo.
Can't wait to be home, but have to stop at Sainsbury's in Exeter on the way to have a photo taken for my new passport.
Security pulled me over on the way into Amsterdam as my passport is due to expire next month so my photo is over 10 years old.

Good isn't it?
Like an inversion on hills, but upside down and without the mountain tops
Just generally cloudy and dull now.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
GWRS; it was over 7ft tall. I originally thought the plant dead and I threw it on the heap. Ever since I've been too guilty to harvest it.

Triffids? Well at least it's edible.
wonderful Sky photos Fairy. I'll get Hubby to include them in my cloud photo collection.
oh, i forgot, evening all. Since we went to bed early, I'm awake at 6am. Very unusual for me.
Neither did we! It was starting to fall over but it put sunflowers to shame.
Morning all from Schipol Airport.

No one out of bed yet?
It looks miserable outside, but I'm off to work.
See you later folks.
Good morning all
Chard will put up a pretty big flowering spike in its second year as will the other beets
