      @Upsydaisy let me know how you get on. Thought I'd catch up with the ironing, now that it's cooled down. Had 5 shirts to do and other things.

        Wish it was raining here in the West Midlands. The clouds look very grey but nothing.

        Evening all :)

        Looking a bit dull outside this evening, and apparently we have showers forecast for tomorrow - doesn't make much difference to me, as I will be out playing with the London traffic in a double decker for most of the day.

          Now in Nuneaton. Went to Upton House and saw some soft pink salvia, blue salvia and 3 or 4 lovely Romneya coulteri.. Rushed to Coughton Court only to find it closed because of the son's wedding. Some Throckmorton guy getting married and we drove round and round, only to find it closed.

          Rushed to Packwood House at 3.30pm. Gee, what a beautiful garden.. Some eryngiums, beautiful with a fluffy skirt .. stipa swaying in the wind (it is windy - every time I took a photo, I had to say BE STILL! :wallbanging:) All sorts of salvias, some blood red blackish sweet Williams next to sexy black pansies. A lady from Devon told me that she rated it better than Sissinghurst. I so want to upload some photos but son said the hotel might not let us use so much data.

            I hope someone will be held accountable.. and that nobody will take horrible shortcuts to make money like this in the future.

                    @Verdun Sit back and enjoy. They still look very good. But hang on, what are you going to put in their place?

                    Look these haven't been replaced for a long time.. Packwood House SAM_0167.JPG

                      I'm just hoping that it is not some sort of premonition for tomorrow - I've got a clean record!
