You're obviously an unthinking puppet of the mobile phone companies Chicky Enjoy your coffee I had my mane tamed yesterday - at the end of the procedure there was more hair on the floor than there was left on my head

Hello folks! Thanks for all the lovely comments on the photo. As I've said before, it's not difficult to take a good photo when the view is stunning... Lantana, it wasn't taken from the train, but from the front window of our cottage, just as the sun rose yesterday. (I'd have taken some from the train if I'd been quicker - the Oban to Glasgow line goes through some magnificent scenery. The only photo I tried to take through the train window turned out to have a large tree which photo-bombed the lovely view. ) LG the L, it's a little island called Lismore off the west coast of Scotland, between Mull and the mainland, in Loch Linnhe. My favourite place on earth.
Back to reality today. OH is out conducting a concert, so I've blitzed the kitchen... I love him to bits but he's definitely in the finals for the messiest husband on earth! Then I'm going food shopping. After that I might get round to thinking about Christmas
Obelixx, your cute kittens should definitely feature on the "Emergency kittens" site on Facebook. They're great for lowering stress levels resulting from reading too much news.
Hosta, so glad this year's holiday is just what you both needed.
Topbird, Dove is right - give that back a rest!
Pat, hope those lavenders recover...
Happy Saturday to all!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
However many places I am lucky enough to visit, my favourite place on earth is also in the Western Highlands, it is Gairloch, or in fact anywhere between Torridon and Ullapool.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
About 10 years ago we spent a midsummer holiday on Skye - we had torrential rain and strong winds almost every day - but the day we spent in glorious sunlight at Dunvegan Castle and out on the loch will stay in my memory for ever - it was absolutely beautiful

I love my country and heart stopping beauty of it all. I think it depends on your mood which landscape is favourite for the day!
equally, there are real beauty spots in England Ireland and Wales
We got the last of the cutting back done this morning. Many plants will need split this spring. this was our 10th growing season and it is much overdue! New fruit cage all done and if course I am desperate to plant but I shall be patient
heading off to good friends in Drymen, a lovely village on Loch Lomond, for a night of overindulgence (we stay over) they are very doggie so we all go. Hoping it is not a frosty night or the deer scents will be up and my two will be off!
have a nice Saturday night

OH braved the cold today and took down the runner bean poles. It was -6° this morning and 2° after lunch time. I stayed in, lit a wood burner, ordered online Christmas presents and wrote my annual Christmas letter to friends and family. Daughter's was complicated, lots of art things. Lots of children's books in English for Son 2's small boys. He wants them to grow up bi-lingual. Did go out a little to fill up horses' water and check their hay.
Waiting for fish pie to cook which we shall eat in front of Strictly.

Morning all.
29C forecast today for our last full day in the sun.
We've had a great holiday. The weather has been perfect for us. 25-29C. No burnt bits, no peel, no white bits.
Thanks all for the good wishes and the cake looks just right up my street.
Welcome Glenys too.
Liri, beautiful photo and safe journey home.
Wonky, I'm so thrilled your new job has been everything you hoped for, and needed. x
So glad you're having a really good time Hosta - you both deserve it

pdoc I know that I'm biased but, given dry weather, the west coast and the islands off it are beautiful.
