Presumably not in this country or that would have been a lot of child benefit. did it say how old he was Dermot?

22 degrees here already, I have a nurse appointment later then I am going with my friend/neighbour to the local garden centre for coffee.

At the moment I am resting and cooling down after cutting the lawn. Phew. Hope you can all cool off today.

Spent another hour and a half in the garden can’t get another leaf in the garden bin, stuff grows when I am not looking. Discovered that the loganberry that we were not keen on has regrown after Dad chopped it down so I have cut that back again

I have had another go at tying up the peonies and that does look better. Cut back loads of Hellebores. Then The sun went in so I decided to have a go with the hose, I had never unreeled it before.But I am really pleased with myself as I managed it and managed to water almost the whole garden. Next step was reeling it back up but that was surprisingly easy. There is a leak is on the bit that joins two hoses.so I need to buy a new connector.

Hello all, hope Florence is getting straight in he lovely new home but hope she is taking breaks to admire the view.

You have been bust Joan, I have done an hour in the garden mainly cutting back Aquilegia that have finished flowering and ditto forget me nots which get pulled up after flowering. We desperately need some rain. My garden bin is full again as I also attacked the blackberry again.

Well it has been good weather here for the last few days, we have even been sat outside a few times, me under the parasol but jolly nice all the same.

Good morning all. Florence pleased the move was OK and hope you can soon get straight. Is there room for you to add a few cupbpards? I must say I am envious of your view although not of the midges, horrible little things. Your neighbours sound nice and good of them to mow the front lawn. Hope it won't be too long before the phone line goes in, hopefully your provider will have space.
sunny here this morning and 16 degrees so looks like being a lovely day.

Tawny enjoy your holiday in Sheffield.
