Better get up, the birds will be clamouring for their food. The sunflower hearts and suet balls are disappearing at a rate of knofs, lots of babies at the moment..

Good morning Tony, “you all” have a good day now

Good, wet morning all. Like Jane, it has rained heavily all night so no watering for a while
The sun should be making an appearance later. Village coffee morning at 10.30 so that means cake After yesterday’s walk I may just potter in the garden this afternoon.-
Morning Cilla
the cake sounds like a ray of sunshine Hope it gets dry enough for a potter

Morning clickers
a very windy and wet night (of weather) but the water butts are full – ha ha, like, I need that! Will be sloshing around the garden today. I suppose wet windows make it easier for me to clean them Hope there’s nice weather somewhere – HAGD -
Morning Jane…cleaning windows is a bit drastic, you’ll need a sit down later
Those froggies wil be loving it, there could well be 4 when you look today Happy sloshing

Hardly ever do so, but made the mistake of lying down for a nap yesterday, and awoke three hours later. BIG mistake. Whatever brain pattern normally sends me to sleep within 10 minutes of getting into bed every night absolutely deserted me – and this morning I am a hollow-eyed wreck expecting a morning visit from the baby, and with a full clinic…[Read more]

Good morning Bean. My sympathies with your broken sleep, as you know, “been there, got the t.shirt!” I have been sleeping better this week, for once
That is sad about your sorbus, losing any tree is horrible, will you look for a replacement to plant in a different place? I’m sure Dylan will put the spring back in your step but try not to…[Read more]-
Good morning Cilla. I won’t replace the sorbus, because I also have a cercidiphylum in the front garden, and the sorbus was rather shading out the fig tree, which I am going to have to cut right back in order to get the rough-casting done. But I will miss it cutting out the view of houses across the road. I grew up in splendid isolation, and…[Read more]

Morning Sheila
so sorry to hear about your tree – and your bad night’s sleep. Can you leave part of the trunk (I’m assuming you’ll have it felled)? The baby will soon have you bright-eyed again and you know it!! Have another coffee quickly. Hope the afternoon goes ok.
PS thin courgette soup is working on the weight.-
Good morning Jane. Is there an advantage to leaving part of the trunk in situ? I am a bit wary of doing so, since I don’t really know why it has died, and the trunk may be a possible source of infection to other plants. At any rate, disposing of it will have to wait until the luxuriant vegetation all around it has died down – can’t bear the…[Read more]

Morning Clickers, we seem to be stuck in a “one day wet, one day dry” pattern.
Yesterday was dire but we are back to dry today Might get a load more onions lifted, at least the raised beds dry off quickly. Will leave the spuds for another few days to let the skins set, only the King Edwards still have there tops on, so checking those…[Read more]-
Good morning and au revoir Karen. Glad you have a good day. I used to grow onions, I ought to again as I use so many. Enjoy your harvesting

Morning Karen and Cilla
I think some rain missed NI last night as we had it all First, the howling wind and then it just threw it down from 2am till about just now! Hope it stays dry for you and I mean that most sincerely 
Have a good day

Nightnight Folks, will show you our scrumptious blackberries tomorrow … got some more beans to eat too … they are so fresh and tasty; plus roses are re-blooming in G’s G and a passer-by on her way home from work, commented, as I tidied about, on how it reminded her of her Mum’s garden in the country … that was nice
Nightnight All …. sleep…[Read more]-
Morning Anne. The blackberries are so early this year, I really must go and pick some although OH won’t eat them because of the pips
What a lovely compliment about your garden -
Cilla I make Bramble jelly, it saves a lot of time preparing the fruit and goes through the jelly bag over night
-
That sounds good Tony but we rarely eat jams and jellies nowadays so I may just have to put some through a sieve……or just eat them myself

Morning Anne
yes, that was nice of the lady

@flowerpotlynn Love you beautiful Garden Lynn … such space

Thank you Anne, I am very fortunate in having such a big space and a blank canvas to create my own garden. Hope you had a good day? Hale

A good day thanks Lynn, tho’ am way behind with letter writing and visiting local friends
and also trying to arrange things for being away from Sunday for a fortnight with Grand-daughter and friends staying as well as son during that time … busy-busy
You have a lovely evening too … got any honey yet? -
Not yet a few more weeks, the 🐝 🐝 are still very busy though

Great garden Lynn, in such a shortish time, great to show off your hard work and talent.

I agree of course …. they are both families, French and Somerset together; that was what was so special about the outing -

Managed to miss all three, but made my day finding them all today. -
