Err... No need to bother as there is no stock.. Finally, my delivery has come. I am free and go to vote and queue in the post office now..

 

I've had a little helper with me today, my oldest granddaughter, she loves been in the garden helping granddad

 

Looks just the job @alp

We were the only voters there when we went this morning. They looked really bored and seemed glad to see us and have a chat One was busy tucking into a bunch of grapes!!

 

i can see her emerging green fingers, she's so cute

 

Always good to have help Martin........you planning for her to do all your gardening in a few years!!!
May SHOULD have had this in the bag.....she was badly advised over the Care plan and gave ammo to lib dems and labour to discredit her. I think she will win but prob with a very small majority; labour could win enough seats and rule with lib dems, greens and SNP and this would be catastrophic. Sturgeon with a foot in the door

 

A few of this wks pics...after the winds!!

 

I hope so upsydaisy she does enjoy it.

Yes nice to have a little helper , I'm only 49 hopefully ive got a few years left , if I'm around long enough maybe a job for the great grandkids

Looks lovely

 

@fat controller hope everything turns out ok.
We always do a Postal vote. Did it last week. We don't get the tannoy car around here. We have the canvassers.

 

49 and your granddaughter is probably 6! I wish I were a grandma.. with a daughter at 6.. What a lovely induction to life's little pleasure .. Way to go, @martin-f ..

@Upsydaisy Love that dahlia - so perfect and cheerful. I can't believe that you've got spaces in that little corner. I had great difficulty finding a space for my new delivery. I hope they are still here tomorrow morning. The slugs can really decimate anything .. Lovely and healthy roses. I have only got one or two. I think I might have been too mean with fertiliser.

 

This area will certainly go Conservative. Don't like the MP, but I do have a lot of goodwill for May. Glad that she saw off Osborne. I sooo hope he won't be an MP again.

 

I've got plants in there @alp, but that corner is a very new addition. There is also a new strip of border running along the back of the existing bed too which has Zinnias planted in it, will post again when in full bloom

 

I have sown the zinnia seeds, but don't ask me where they are now!
