Beautiful flowers Steve, Rod, I grew the majority of mine from seed this year & with the cold Spring they're about 3-4 weeks behind yet, My Lupins are just producing the flower stem now.


I'm cream crackered! Just turned the compost heap over at the back of the garage, It's been in there around 3 years & it will be lovely stuff for next year
Also found out where the snails that have destroyed umpteen young flowers have been hiding, dozens of em got short shrift from my size 11's



Just harvested & taken my pea plants down, Some even made their way to the kitchen

Interior is black leather with cream back and seat inserts. And a woeful lack of nice wood veneer .

Sounds like a fun ride I was reading about Jaguar this morning whereas company boss Bollore announced he's taking the Jaguar brand upmarket to Bentley levels of luxury complete with a six digit price tag. https://todaynewspost.com/auto-news/...market-luxury/

Any good news?

Afternoon Phil, Blimey! that doesn't sound good I hope you can get it sorted out.

Any I find in the garden get a free flying lesson, unfortunately it always ends in a crash landing on the road in front of the cottage.

Rain hasn't arrived yet but don't think its far off, windy, heavy cloud and a lot cooler than earlier.
