    I wish.

    The builders are arriving tomorrow to landscape the end of my garden and put down 20ft x 20ft paving, install a wildlife pond and raised beds in readiness for my proper greenhouse :)

    So I've got to clear the garage today - want to lend a hand?

    Come up to Scotland. Plenty of rain all 'summer'.

    See original post

     There's 'plenty' and then there's 'surfeit'.

    Saw the sun this morning for an hour or two. Grey skies again now. It's warm though

  • Poor Verdun, my timbers are shivering for you "err" or is that laughter. Cornwall the land of Sun and such clear skies the artists flock there, then it becomes "by eck as like" this should not be happening. Join the club our NE is normally part of the dry section of the UK, " you know away from the Atlantic storms" this year those storms made a bee line for us braking hard overhead and hissing it down, but hey life goes on. we don our Sou-westers wellies and fishing hats to nip to Tesco. The Barby goes under the garage door, the family sit comfortably inside whilst dad burns the sausages, and when dad gets back inside all the Scones Jam and Cream have vanished. Tis a cruel world Verdun, we Brits just battle on.

    Hi aym - The 'tree' is actually the pergola with about 6 rambling roses on it before I cleared it. The roses are growing strongly again already

    The pink spires are a lupin that self-seeded - looks lovely.

    The heat in the garage I'm clearing is unbearable - thank goodness for tea!
    And just to give a little extra warmth, I'm baking bread at the mo too....

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



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

     HAHHAHAHA, you are so funny, Pansyface.

  • Yes Verdun and imagine what they made of this pale Northerner when I arrived back from two years in the desert, my future Wife asked if we would have mixed race children, "yup" a mix of Geordie, Tyke and Durham. Have to admit though those Cornish Ladies loved running their fingers over my delicate white skin before feeding me oggies and Scones, what they did with the cream and jam I leave to your imagination.
