        Thank you :redface:

        I don't think I'll do it again though; something quite surreal has been happening since we came home ... people are stopping outside the house and ...


        .... taking photos :oops: Beginning to feel a touch of "goldfish bowl -itus" :scratch: :th scifD36: :dunno: (wish I'd cleaned the flipping windows now :doh::heehee: ) Ah well, if it pleases them, I'm not complaining.

        I'm hoping so too!!! :roflol:

        My first: ever! :heehee:

        Strange thing isn't it? I think Mr "M" and our #1 son are feeling more proud and excited than I am! (Must be a bloke thing :dunno:). To be honest, I was quite content with my GC friends enjoying the display; that was more than enough attention for me ;)

        Now back to business:

        Hey, Geez! ... saw this and thought of you :heehee:

            Very well done @"M", I'm so pleased you won :star: & had such a great time.

            @NorthantsGeezer :hapydancsmil:it's lovely to have you back again :dbgrtmb:.
            New sat Nav hey, I can't believe I've found a man who can read an instruction manual :phew: you've made me weak at the knees :heehee:.
            Thought I'd try a bit of naked garden hopping but you've scared me & I do have to remember there's a lot of old people up my end of the village & you get the odd prick...on the roses I mean!! :loll: (I might get told off for that one :yikes:) so best I keep covered up, I don't want to cause any heart attacks!
            Shineyland was great fun, I still have a few plants to put in, I know that will be a big surprise because as you know I don't buy many plants! :whistle:
            Anyway, glad you are back :dancy:

                Morning all, hope you and your gardens are all well.

                Just sitting by the french window with an early morning cuppa, enjoying the sounds of the birds in the garden and that lovely 'fresh' smell after last night's rain. :coffee:

                Been out and fed the hens, stomped on the odd snail and had a general wander round. Got a few jobs to do in the garden today, once it dries out a bit, otherwise just taking it easy, reading the Sunday paper and listening to some cricket on the radio. :)

                Hope you all have a good day.

                  Aloha everyone,

                  All we got here was a little drizzle so I've got the sprinkler on the veggies. The chicken wire has kept the rabbits out :fingers crossed: but isn't doing so well at keeping the slugs and snails out :mad:

                  @NorthantsGeezer welcome back. Don't believe what @Beckie76 says as I've heard that she's still doing the naked garden hopping :rolleyespink: :hate-shocked: :snorky: I've only had my car eight years so I still haven't got around to reading the Satnav manual. :noidea: Plenty of time to do that. :)

                  I'll try and spot the GC members at the picnic tables in The Mall whilst I'm standing on the Palace balcony. :thumbsup:

                  Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                  Aloha!

                    Good morning everyone, Well done M that is wonderful. Sounds like a good time was had by all too!
                    Shiney we had one hell of a thunderstorm and downpour here everywhere was flooded, had to wait for it to ease up before I could get Amber out for her last walk. Thankfully I got my washing dry in the morning.
                    Have a good day all, WOO hope you are feeling a little better. Take care all stay warm and dry and above all safe and well.
                    God bless. :wub2:

                        Morning early people :)

                        About an inch of rain overnight :yes: More to come by the looks of it.

                        Not much in the water butt yet :sad: See the slugs are out already :doh:

                        Got to get creative for breakfast, morrisons veggie freezer was empty yesterday and I've run out of gas anyway :doh:

                        Have a good day everyone and don't cross any bridges till you come to them :spinning:

                            Good day everyone.

                            I finished my housework and have bread dough in it's first rising. Am thinking about making some egg bread too but using my kitchenaid mixer...

                            Noticed the sprinkler system has a couple of zones that need adjustments but think I'll wait until tomorrow. Just not feeling in the mood for a good soak :)

                            Have a safe day !

                                Aloha everyone,

                                It was very warm and sunny yesterday with a muggy afternoon and then a sudden monsoon for half an hour. It all cleared up in time for us to go out with friends.

                                This week has been designated a time for being with friends with a total rest from gardening. It will give my back time to recover. :blue thumb:

                                After a leisurely breakfast with friends we shall be touring round some galleries, dropping off stock of Mrs Shiney's glassware at some of them, visiting more friends, shopping :sad:, and then going to dinner at even more friends. :yahoo: If the rain holds off I might be able to persuade the others to come out for a walk. :)

                                Keep well and have agreat day :biggrin:

                                Aloha!
