AnninGlos - 83. ;-)

Presumably not in this country or that would have been a lot of child benefit. did it say how old he was Dermot?

22 degrees here already, I have a nurse appointment later then I am going with my friend/neighbour to the local garden centre for coffee.

At the moment I am resting and cooling down after cutting the lawn. Phew. Hope you can all cool off today.

Ziona Chana, the head of a religious sect, died on Sunday, leaving behind 38 wives, 89 children and 36 grandchildren. ;-)

Spent another hour and a half in the garden can’t get another leaf in the garden bin, stuff grows when I am not looking. Discovered that the loganberry that we were not keen on has regrown after Dad chopped it down so I have cut that back again

I have had another go at tying up the peonies and that does look better. Cut back loads of Hellebores. Then The sun went in so I decided to have a go with the hose, I had never unreeled it before.But I am really pleased with myself as I managed it and managed to water almost the whole garden. Next step was reeling it back up but that was surprisingly easy. There is a leak is on the bit that joins two hoses.so I need to buy a new connector.

‘Get through your 50s in good shape and you could well live to be 90’ ;-)

Hello all, hope Florence is getting straight in he lovely new home but hope she is taking breaks to admire the view.

You have been bust Joan, I have done an hour in the garden mainly cutting back Aquilegia that have finished flowering and ditto forget me nots which get pulled up after flowering. We desperately need some rain. My garden bin is full again as I also attacked the blackberry again.

A Paediatric Emergency Medicine Consultant has said an increasing number of children are being admitted to hospital after suffering an adverse reaction to "edibles" - otherwise known as cannabis jellies. :-0

Well it has been good weather here for the last few days, we have even been sat outside a few times, me under the parasol but jolly nice all the same.

Good morning all. Florence pleased the move was OK and hope you can soon get straight. Is there room for you to add a few cupbpards? I must say I am envious of your view although not of the midges, horrible little things. Your neighbours sound nice and good of them to mow the front lawn. Hope it won't be too long before the phone line goes in, hopefully your provider will have space.
sunny here this morning and 16 degrees so looks like being a lovely day.

Tawny enjoy your holiday in Sheffield.

I hear that Portugal is being evacuated. Don't panic!

We’re all going on a Summer Holiday. Mr and I are on our holidays in Sheffield now after driving 250 miles this morning. For those that have been to the last few meets I’m in the Old Queen enjoying a pint

You can never have too much chocolate on a cake. :-D

It sounds great Florence.....Well, apart from the midges. I'm not keen on them.

I can imagine the wonderful sunsets, what a view for you.

Let's hope that something can be done soon about getting the landline up and running.

Hello Chit Chatters!
Well the move went okish.Had a few issues with the removal van so I have put pen to paper raising my concerns!
I can actually see the lounge carpet now.Bixes were floor to ceiling on Monday.
Telephone isn't in yet and talking to the other 3 neighbours,they were told by BT(not my provider,), there is no room for 4 more lines!!! So I'm using my mobile data on my phone which I'm being very frugal with.I get 5GB a month.
It is a lovely new house but less space and cupboards so I do feel a little squashed at the moment.
There is however a local boot fair in 2 weeks so still plenty big things to sell.
Neighbours are a couple in mid 50s,a man in his 40s just left his wife and a young couple 24 and 26 not yet married.Hecwas in school with my son.Made me feel very old when I spoke to him as he looks so young lol

Both neighbours have kindly offered to mow my front lawn for me as I'm not fit for it.I have someone coming to do the back garden on Monday.Thst is really a huge area.

I guess I shall have to do some baking to thank them.

Glorious sunsets last few days at 10.30 pm,just fab watching over the sea
The view is fab.

Hope everyone ok.

I will post as and when,just not everyday until landline is in and WiFi up and running.

I would invite you all to a house warming,just a little to far to come,but we could easily have a self distancing BBQ here no problem except for the midges here.

Take care all and I'll be back soon

Florence in the Hebrides

Ginnies neighbour story reminded me of one of ours ( work colleagues also living in a tied house).

We overslept a bit one Sunday morning and were woken up by a dreadful noise. Eventually worked out that next door were removing a forsythia which had overgrown into our garden and was well rooted on our side. It was a shame as it gave a balance to the border. They never told s what they were planning. It must have even really difficult to haul it out of the ground and over the high fence.

Morning all.

Barbara we could do with some overnight rain just to give it time to soak in.

Ann, Our neighbours are very nice but a little strange when it comes to the garden. :-)
There is always something to be done isn't there? A lot of my plants are in large pots with just the climbers and small fruit trees along the sides .

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Hope the move has gone well for you Florence.
