        Our hanging baskets, which started off very well this year took a turn for the worse when we were on holiday although they were watered every day by friends. It was the very hot spell so they really needed it twice a day. They were still looking OK by last week but just a bit sorry for themselves. So we've replaced them with some more that were standing by (would have sold them if our were still good. The old ones have gone to our helpers. :blue thumb:

        These are the replacements

        The fuschia baskets look magnificent but gets droopy very quickly.

                      I've been saying "heavens to Murgatroyd" recently. There used to be a cartoon lion who was a bit of thespian. For the life of me I can't remember what the show was called.

                        Heavens to Murgatroyd is a cry of surprise. The American exclamation Heavens to Murgatroyd was made popular by Snagglepuss, a cartoon pink mountain lion created by Hanna-Barbera in 1959. Snagglepuss' voice was patterned on the voice of actor Bert Lahr.29 Jul 2015
