I hope my friends aren't despondent. They knew everything came on early so they'd be struggling.
Terrible news from Manchester. Despicable attack on innocents. Barbaric.
There was a dry, Provence garden last year or the year before that people like MD raved over. I loathed it. The quarry garden is the same for me - too much hard stuff and not enough plants, let alone flowers.
Congrats to Liri and son and DIL. Lovely news for all concerned.
Happy birthday Clari.
I need a post lunch snoozle after being shouted at by a pair of hoopoes from very early on.

I've just had an email from my friend at Chelsea she " just missed out on a silver gilt, the judges loved the staging and said they'd welcome her back"
She says she's on TV later talking to the divine James Wong. Must catch it on iPlayer later.
Brilliant news Hosta! Hope she's feeling chuffed to bits!!!
I've set Tivo to record James Wong etc this afternoon
I've just potted on ten pots of basil and some other bits and pieces. I think I need to plant out some echinacea into the front garden this afternoon ..........

Joyce , I can't see why he wouldn't. From what I've seen of it, it's beautiful.
Just read my friends got Silver in Floral Marquee. I hope they're not disappointed.
I think any medal at Chelsea would be amazing!!!

They'll be despondent today ...... hopefully very soon they'll get it all in perspective

Right, I've finished planting about 30 pots of alliums and about 70 penstemon which had to be halted yesterday evening
We've had a little rain overnight which always helps new planting.
I'm off on coal face duties at 2 and Hubby is weeding the Hosta tunnel ( suits his OCD as he likes things looking perfect )
