    We have hares here. They are VERY fast One half growN one has found a way into my veggie yard and is currently mowing my kale each day. Hubby has promised to help with the fence, but so far has been distracted by both weather and demanding friends.image

    Hi Hosta. I must admit I had a laugh when I saw "Hostage". Even though I check before posting a message, I often miss a couple. 

    Hello SGL And everyone else. My memory is very bad, so if I've missed you, I'm sorry. I'm lazy enough to say a collective "everyone", but that's not really a valid excuse. I might start keeping a little note book beside where I sit, so that I can acknowledge ecah of you.image

    been to town this morning, Hubby has been to the chiropractor and HRH has been to the pet shop for her 6 weekly grooming. I assume she'll sleep all afternoon now. Very tempting to join her.

    Good morning all image G'day Pat image

    I hope the wakeful got some rest. 

    as I've said, I've been mainly posting on my iPhone for quite a while now and it's a slow process so I've done mainly general greetings and shorter posts than usual - but I hope I've not appeared rude and ignored anyone.

    morning, there are gremlins here today, this is third attempt 

    pat I love the photo

    Busy hope you get away ok

    chicky have a good day and do pass on interesting points from the talk, would be interesting

    hosta I would love to be planting camellias.  We are too high here and I adore these plants 

    Dove you could never be rude

    obelixx this year I actually had time to take off all but the newest leaves of my hellebores, what a difference!

    hoping to be able to do a little more  today, that's been a week now, surely the worst is over?

    have a good day, weather looks promising

    Morning Everyone - hope you got a little sleep eventually Hostage. Tee hee - that made me snigger tooimage

    Much better night's sleep last night - almost normal. Still aware that I have some sort of cold or virus but feeling much better and brighter. Hope Lily P is too.

    Time for tea - SYL

    Thanks LilyP - I was properly brung up I was image

    Glad you're on the mend Topbird - I didn't realise how poorly I'd been until I felt better. What we need is some wall to wall sunshine image

    Morning all/afties Pat

    Rain has stopped now and  lots of cloud, but when I opened the bedroom curtains there was a lovely sky with shafts of sunlight escaping from the clouds. Took a pic but will have to wait till batteries charge in the mouse to do them. I'm always expecting a 'hand' to appear out of a sky like that, if you know what I mean. Or is that just me?  image

    I often open the forum page in a separate tab so that I can turn back pages on that for doing a reply. I don't always have time in the mornings though.

    LP- I'd have thought you could do Camellias no problem - in your walled garden perhaps? They'd have shelter there from the early morning frosts etc. Or do you not have room there? We have several at work in my employers' garden, and that's at 600 feet. There's one shrub which isn't particularly sheltered either - just at the front where we park.  image

    Dove saw the hares not me - I only mentioned the hill ones  image 

    Obelixx - I have loads of little hellebore babies which have seeded into the path and round the main plant. I intend transplanting some as soon as they grow a little bit, but perhaps Ia few tiny ones would be cheap to send if they were any use to you. No idea what colour they'll be but the parent is very dark purple and I only had a few whites so I think they should be  a good colour. Let me know if you're interested - or if it's possible to send them there? 

    Quikc look round now before I head off and see what new challenges await me at work...image

    Have a good day everyone image

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



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