    Morning all. Morning Jay. If I remember rightly, Lottie dropped in briefly during your absence but hasn't been seen since. She seemed well in her posts.

    Got up at a reasonable time. Took younger dogs for a decent walk early on while still cool. We now have an aged dog situation. Still OK, but definitely hasn't got the vim and vigour of her younger days. Not eating as much as usual either. Went to the local vets for a cut on one of her pads the other day and had a general check-up. Vet deemed her normal for her age. Anti-inflammatories and antibiotics for the cut pad (anti-inflammatories seem a bit over the top, but that's vets for you, or this vet in any case).

    Not sure how the day will pan out. Didn't manage to get much done yesterday. Went for a little lie down while Mr Snoop was using my computer (his is playing up) and next thing I know it's three hours later. Must have needed it, though.

    Have a lovely Sunday, guys.

    Morning, warm start for us too, over 20 degrees in the greenhouse at eight, unheard of up here, everything has been watered as we are out for a ride to meet our daughter and grandsons in their garden, we might be now allowed to go out and mix, but seeing how people are behaving and the rise in cases, we will carry on shielding for now. Enjoy your day all.

    Full moon tonight too...no chance for me

    No mouse found Jay...so it's either wandering around my kitchen ...or being digested.....yuk

    I was wondering what Flo would do with all those apples...compost?... are they too immature to make apple jelly with?

    I'm thinking of making lemon curd today and maybe a chocolate courgette cake...depends how hot it gets and how soon I can get my arris into gear

    Mornin n'alln'all
    No idea why I'm awake so early

    So...got a nice brew to hand and might read my book.

    Good to see you Jay!.. and nope- not heard from lottie dolly...just hope she's OK.

    Bramble -sounds a very rewarding day -were there many people on the competition? Whenever you mention pitch and putt I have warm memories of my grandpa.
    I may have mentioned this before but he was an avid golfer with a handicap of 1 (I think the handicap system has changed since his day?) He used to get at least a hole in one every week. It was (still is perhaps?) a tradition to buy everyone in the clubhouse a drink if you got one...and being a Methodist didn't approve of drinking...so he used to play at dawn so no one knew!!!
    As a child he took me to play pitch and putt regularly. Happy memories!

    Darn...Hibou has just brought a live mouse in.......scuse me.....

    Good evening, had a lazy day today did a bit of work on my comfrey press then made a mesh frame for drying my onions once I lift them, I have also started to clear a path as I intend making a new veg bed in front of the new hut once I harvest all my cabbage, and Jay the reason I went into Belleisle was because it was getting a bit warmer and I like walking in the shade of trees on a warm day but when the grandchildren were younger I enjoyed going there for a picnic and there were deer there for them to see, but they are not there just now, the conservatory wasn't open till today, don't know what it's like now, but in the past they had some nice plants in it, as for the walled garden they have some lovely flower displays and if you do go in for a look could you find out what type of dahlias they have used in their bedding display, unfortunately there was no one about that I could ask yesterday and I have spent a bit of time today trying to find similar dahlias on the net without success, oh and there is also a cafe in the old stables but don't know what it is like as I had no money with me yesterday which is unusual as I usually have a pound coin with me after all there's not always trees about well enjoy your day tomorrow and keep safe

    Good evening all.
    Busy day at the pitch and putt.
    A very big competition and an afternoon of prize giving.
    Spent the last hour watering and deadheading.
    Hope everybody had a good day.

    Morning all.

    The garden thermometer got up to 34.5C in the shade yesterday Too hot! spent the day indoors with all the blinds drawn to keep out the sun.

    Thank goodness it's much cooler and fresher today. Funny that whatever the weather's doing, hot, cold, snowy, rainy, we Brits always want it to be doing something else.

    Morning all, hope you are all well. I’ve been MIA for a bit but like the proverbial bad penny I have returned!
    Last time I was here we were concerned about lottie dolly...has she been back on the forum? Hope she is ok!!
    It was sunny this morning but is now dull!!
    Rary, I’ve driven past Belleisle Park on many an occasion but never thought of visiting...is it worth a look?
    Anyhoo, hope you all have a lovely day...catch you later! x

    Morning, bright but cooler for us with bits of cloud, nice drop of overnight rain watered the garden, it's still looking quite green, though some of the Roses are just starting to look a bit tired, still dead heading and new buds in evidence.
