    Morning all. 

    Gorgeous here too. Hubby has promised to help in the garden. so banana, cannas, hedychiums, dahlias coming out of the tunnel before he changes his mind. 

    I too loved the epimedium. Did anyone else notice how often Frances says "amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing"? We counted 6 times at the nursery alone. She's trying for Jamie Oliver's record methinks.

    Busy day ahead so need to fuel up on a bacon butty. image

    Clari, well done you . Wonky, have a restful weekend.

    Morning all.

    Electricity was off earlier but I

    boiled water on gas cooker for my cuppas.

    Fairy, did you nip up to Arrocher hills?  Lovely picsimage

    Rained overnight but doesn't look as thought there was very much.

    Dove, have a good day at Wonky's.

    Morning all, afternoon Pat imagepromise to have a a restful day as I can't use my hands due to constant pins and needles,  other the garden and kitchen need a tidy before Dove turns up and I don't think the hand tingles will stop in time! image

    It will be a proper plant exchange when she gets here, I have three viburnum for her plus some smaller bits and bobs and Dove is filling the car with all sorts too! image

    Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday!

    Chucking it doon here Joyce  image

    Nice and steady though, so grand for the plants. I moved a potentilla the other day - fully in flower. It doesn't even know it's been shifted. Up at Beinn an Lochain, R and be thankful. Cracking afternoon, although a bit chilly in the exposed bits. The hill's - not mine image

    I'll do a few photos on camera thread. The ptarmigan hunkered right down and, no - you would have missed him once he was in among the rocks, hence their common name of rock ptarmigan. 

    Village life eh Pat? It's fine unless the rumours become something unpleasant!

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



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

    Hi all.

    Cloudy with a little drizzle.

    Today, I shall be doing, mostly what I am told, I just haven't been told what that will be yet.

    I'll third what Joyce and Hosta say Pdoc, I'd have kittens if my OH wanted to do anything as dangerous, brave and selfless! Have a nice comfy safe and sound weekend!

    Wonky , when Dove arrives, tell her I've potted up a nice big chunk of cautleya robusta for her collection .

    I agree with you all.

    I know that what I do to try and give my life more meaning, is not much fun for those around me, that is why I have never told my family about any of my trips, even though my first was to Afghanistan back in the 1980's.

    Secretly I rather enjoy being told what to do.
