    Glad you're feeling a bit better Lizzie - hope you're raring to go by Friday

    ((big hugs)) for DD

    Dove - we found an abandonned water barrow like you describe in the undergrowth in our garden when we first arrived .....Mr C was pleased as punch image. It didn't take me long to plant it up with flowers and it now has pride of place by the front door ......see if you can spot it in the pic below

    I love your collection of plants in the wheelbarrow and pots Chicky. What are the star shaped flowers - they look fantastic. I have some chimney pots which I planted up with trailing and scented pelergoniums last year. 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    The star shaped flowers are isotoma AuntyRach - they are annuals that you can find in GCs with the hanging basket plants around May time.  The pots in that picture are a mixture of chimney pots and rhubarb forcers that we have collected over the yearsimage

    Is that a gremlin or a green man I spy?

    I wish they sold Isotoma here. I love them. We had a chat about them before. Lovely photo, Chicky.

    DD; you don't need to plaster on a smile for us! Rant, grump, vent, away as much as you need. Even if you only type it then delete it. Sometimes it helps to get it out loud.

    Do please look after yourself x

    First school group of the year arriving today.
