          Morning folks.....hmmmm! Wet again :sad:. Very little sun over past few days
          Hymenocallis have started to flower :)
          Sorting out paperwork this morning.....insurances etc.,...for a friend who is not good with this stuff. Yesterday I saved him £70 on his car insurance so expecting to do similar things today.
          Grrrrr! Hate this rain though:love30:
          Have fruitful day everyone :)

            Good morning to each and every one of you, hope this finds you all well. Anyone feeling under the weather then I hope things improve for you very soon.:dbgrtmb:

            Mmm...no brightness here sadly, very grey looking out there:frown:

            No real plans for today, so will probably carry on sowing and taking cuttings. Will definitely need to take more cuttings from the Lavenders as they have now grown so big and woody and need replacing .

            I absolutely love taking cuttings from random plants and shrubs that catch my eye...then waiting with anticipation to see the first signs of new growth!.. Family and friends have fortunately got use to me nosing around their gardens with my little clippers
            Plants for free make my day!:snorky::dbgrtmb:

            Have a Thrifty Thursday!!! :biggrin:

                Barney is a Border Terrier. They are notoriously stubborn. Barney will not walk without at least one (or even two) toys in his mouth. :biggrin:

                        :heehee::heehee: He's very flattered by all your comments and is currently zonked by my feet. We've had him since 8 weeks and he's now just over 1. Still full on & hyper but incredibly loving and affectionate. I've grown up with the breed so know them inside out. IMG_4716.JPG
