Morning clickers, she says, yawning
Another five wake up, my internal alarm clock has got stuck 
Hopefully a walk this morning and then more gardening. I did manage to plant the stuff I bought ages ago in their pots. The new bee hotel that OH put up yesterday already has new visitors 
Enjoy the sunshine everyone

Morning Jane. There was dark cloud cover here earlier but the forecast has sunshine symbols so I doubt we shall have the much needed rain. I took the torch to the greenhouse at 10 last night to look for the snail that was leaving trails over my seedlings and eventually found it on the floor under the bench……I hope it likes living next door

I’m sure it will, Cilla – I understand snails are peripatetic

Morning Jane. I knew if I blew hard enough that sun would reach you

We hadmthe same experience at the outside tea rooms on saturday, H. The sparrow came and sat on the edge of a chair until I gave him tea cake crumbs, followed by his wife…….they flew off with them to their nest. Then the robin cane down for some too
I love cheese scones but bacon and cheese scones sound heavenly Next visit…. - Load More
Morning Cilla, awake for a couple of hours during the night, so struggled to get up, it gets worse as the week wears on!!!!
Another lovely sunny day in store, mainly gardening planned, just need to iron the bedding first.
Did your lupin seeds grow Cilla, the purple one is about to flower, but is quiet small as I thinned it out and cut it back
Hi Lynn. One seed germinated and is planted and has a flower bud but with lupin aphid on my yellow one I am having to rub them off everyday. I still have some seeds so I shall try again.

Hi Tina. These are all bought ones but, basically, it is a container with hollow tubes in, usually canes, or wood with holes drilled in them. They are for solitary bees….usually mason bees. They need to be put on a sunny wall. The bee goes to the far end of the tube, puts pollen down, lays an egg and seals up the gap. it repeats this all along…[Read more]
Thank you Cilla, will try online to find them.
