Hello from SW France

Thanks Sheal, yes I love the lotus - as you can see from my avatar
I used the barrels to keep my water plants going before my ponds were dug. The two on the left have some water lilies still waiting to be sorted as surplus to requirements and also some day lilies waiting to be planted. Im planning to plant them up properly at some point.... The one on the right is used as a water butt for water coming from the roof of my shaded seating area. My son in law made me a lovely copper rain chain to carry the water down. Here it is as an icicle chain a couple of days ago

 

Sorry, forgot I can't upload photo from my iPad as they don't have Flash

 

Thanks for your welcome Armandii, and for the nudges
Thanks for your post Zigs.
Before the server update I couldn't get the photos to upload from my phone (my puter has just died) it kept telling me the file was too large and I couldn't downsize on my phone. These were my first attempts after the update and I didn't want the upload to crash again, so was worried about clicking the full size button. It's all working fine now though, which is fab. Totally great to be able to share photos

 

Here are the other photos full size

 

Oh my - beautiful - I'm very jealous now!

 

I've been very careful not to feature all the brambles lurking etc etc

 

Haha, yes I do the same when I post pics on Twitter - I make sure you cannot see any roughage, lol. Hope you are enjoying your evening. I've been out for a 10k walk with Baldrick today, so just chilling out now (and he's totally flat out, lol)

 

Yes, having a good evening thanks. Wow you were energetic! Nothing like a good walk
I've got thoroughly cold out in the greenhouse sowing seeds. Not moving enough I suppose. Anyway, good job done, but I'd better do the same as you tomorrow and be more energetic

 

Thanks John
