    Good morning Helen, walnut and rosa and everyone else,
    I had a good day gardening yesterday and managed to finish all the lawns, tidied up a lot of the lawn edges and did lots of pruning. Everything is still growing like mad as autumn hasn't reached here yet. Some friends were round during the day and we had lunch in the warm sunshine in the garden.

    All of you have a great day and keep well :D

    morning shiney,sounds like you have had a very busy sunday and pleased to hear your garden is still going well.
    things on my balcony are still growing but not as many flowers this year as the weather hasnt been to good here with these north east winds being right on the coast.
    have a great day

    Morning early folk.

    It's virtually rained non stop since Saturday evening but we don't mind and it's 20 degrees already. We are commencing our rain season and need it to top up the substrata and the resevoirs following our dry summer and in preparation for the next one. We still can have our Indian Summer here, in November.

    Good for you on your Bruggie pots, walnut. I pay about Ã?£5 for a plain 18x18 clay one ... the plastic ones cost more. [​IMG]

    Don't recall seeing any pictures of your balcony this summer, rosa ... any flowers on the vine?

    Have a good 1st October, everyone.

    Good morning to you, LoL.
    It is raining also here from time to time but we can only be grateful, since in many areas of Italy it hasn't been raining for a longtime and all the vegetation in the wild is dry and yellow.
    I really would like to call you via skype, but for some reasons it does not connect me.
    I don't know whether it has to do with the fact that I am using the old version.
    The new version, which i don't realy need, is not free and maybe has the priority...any suggestion...?
    Maybe I will go back to using the old fashion telephone...
    you take care

    Linda :D

    I am walking like John Wayne [​IMG]

    As for the woods, i get a little emotional at times because they look so beautiful, i stop at the highest point and look around but don't notice the mud, just the gorgeous smells and different sounds and sights that change every day, the rain on the leaves, ferns, bark oh i could go on and on. Stood there today and thought yes, this is what lifes all about, how lucky i am :D
