Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

good morning kandy and everyone,sounds like your very busy with all that fruit plenty of rich pickings will you be making pies with all that fruit enjoy.
i cant believe i left my keys anyway got them back last night my friends ex dropped them off for me just aswell as my mailbox key is on them, had a great time in berwick wish i could of stayed longer.

 

morning shiney, they look fabulous flower arrangements well done to mrs shiney she should definately take that guy up on his offer she did well. have a great day

 

Morning Shiney and Rosa,

Rosa what are you like leaving your keys at your friends house:D I can't leave mine anywhere because they are attached to my car keys and that has a big fluffy dog on the key ring,mind you if I lost my car keys the house would go as well :p Glad that all was sorted in the end and that you got in the flat.though I would have loved to have seen you hacking your way through the jungle of plants :hehe:

Shiney,sorry forgot to mention the 65th Birthday partyGlad you had a good time.You did mention that Mrs Shiney was doing the displays:thmb:.I hope you take advantage of more work for Mrs Shiney:D:gnthb:

Yes it is a shame when gardens get neglected when people get He could pay some young person to go round and weed the borders and cut back the bushes etc but he would rather sit on his bank books.Me and Mr Kandy are doing what we can to help,but for us it is a fourty mile round trip and have enough to do with all our own stuff.He has a daughter,son in law and grandson who are at his house for the day on a Sunday every other week but they are all more interested in reminicing about the past than doing any work because they believe that Sunday is the day of rest like it says in the good book so nothing gets done.:(

My aplogies,I saw the name and thought you had mis spelt Hemorocallis which is the Day Lily,you had written Hamamelis which is Witch Hazel:o.Too much sleepy dust in my eyes me thinks:snz::D

I would personally have moved them in the Autumn than the summer then they perhaps wouldn't have suffered so much

 

morning kandy, i had my house keys and car keys seperate it was funny climbing over the gate and we had to bash open the trellis above the gate for me to get in and i had a table and chair up against the gate that i had to push it further down, wont do that again in a hurry

 

Good morning everyone,

Its cooler here and supposed to have thunder storms later today.

But we did get all the lawn cut and trimmed, so let it rain now.

Beautiful arrangments Shiney.....very nice.

I know Kandy.....i didnt think that match was ever going to end, but it was good though.

 

Hello there everybody - what a wonderful weekend! Family visiting and out enjoying the weather so not indoors on the 'puter. Will catch up on everybody's news here after a good read through. Hope all are well - hoping my allotment is well too - have to find some time this week to get down there - I'm sure the weeds are just thriving!

 

Morning Woo and all.

Lovely morning Woo the birds have just started to sing.

Lol Rosa didn't know you were any good at breaking and entering now I know who to call when I get locked out not the Ghost Busters but Rosa!:hehe:

Shiney that was a lovely flower display Mrs.Shiney did I wonder was everyone fighting over who was allowed to take one home? Nice to know if she gives up her day job there is always another type of work she can have a go at.

Penny we had a thunder storm for most of yesterday too and it was so welcomed by the gardens and of course by Bob too as he didn't have to water them.

Natalie you have got to watch out sweetie the veg grow really quickly now down on the plots but sadly so does the weeds!

Couldn't do much yesterday but hobble about but I did have a constant companion in Dan who got me comfortable enough, kind of makes a change for me to be the one nursed .

Dan's car is sorted a lovely guy at a local garage pulled the dent out for Bob and refused to accept any money off us which is such a change needless to say any 'work' that Bob can't do on the the cars we will send to that garage from now on. The car just needs a t-cut jobbie on it and it's pretty much good to go.

Have a nice day guys.Hel.xxx

 

Wow you guys are up early! Looking good out there again this morning - a few little clouds.....

Yes Hel - the weeds do really well down there - though I know there's going to be a bit of a harvest to be done as well. Will need to get down there this evening for sure - and I have to set aside a few hours on the weekend to deal with the weeding as well. Also have to fence in the sweetcorn to protect from the badgers.

Glad you got your car sorted - isn't it lovely to find people like at that garage? They are fewer and further between these days, but they ARE out there......and restore my faith in humanity.

Have a great day everybody!

 

Good Morning Woo,Hel,Natilie and everyone.

It is a glorious day out there after the thunderstorms of yesterday afternoon.We seemed to have the thunder but only saw one flash of lightening but from what someone was saying on our village forum one of the towns close by had what he described as a light show:p

Woo,hope you enjoyed your walk this morning:gnthb:

Helen you need to keep mobile and take things slowly.Glad that Dan got his car sorted:thumb:

Natilie what part of the country are you from with your allotment?Do you have much success with the stuff you try to grow?

Peri,hope the hospital visit went ok.I had to have my cast sawn off so that the consultant could see me try to walk around on it then I had to have another one fitted and off I went again.It amazes me how they can saw just at the right depth without sawing through the leg:D Hope you manage to move house at the weekend ok:gnthb:

I have a load of ironing to do today,spent yesterday house cleaning and working on the last of the goosegogs so hopefully the bulk of them are finished for another year:yho:

Hope you all have a great day and when I eventually get some time I will put up those photos of our fun day.:D

 

Hi Kandy - we're in the south east. I've always had a garden - at least for the last 20 years and grown all sorts successfully. This is our first year for an allotment, as we wanted to plant lots of corn and get back to our September long weekend corn boil party The allotment is alot different, as you don't tend to go out and potter around it every day - so it's definitely a different gardening experience. I have kept lots here at the house in the greenhouses - cukes, tomatoes, aubergines and peppers. Still have a patch here for peas, one courgette plant , the horseradish, a strawberry bed and asparagus bed. Also the fruit trees, grapes and blueberries have been planted here. We just moved this year - so everything was a bit sporadic and next year will be a much better year - but I couldn't go a year without my vege garden

 

morning, peri, natalie, woo, helen, kandy, shiney , penny and everyone, little late this morning been on the balcony having a coffee, its been raining here and a little windy.
