What a lovely day today has been! Everyone has had a smile on their
face, enjoying the sunshine and I swear you can almost hear things
growing. Magnolia Butterflies is looking beautiful on the lawn and
Tiarella is pushing through well - this may well be my favourite plant,
though that will change in a few weeks! With the help of the grandson, I
managed to get some gardening done and he built a den with a couple of
Danish trolleys, some pallets and a length of unused Mypex stuff! Thank
heaven for spring!


I beg to differ.
Had to get the wife to hospital for 9am for Hydro therapy followed by
Warafrin clinic so it was up at some ungodly hour and a journey that
normally takes around 14 mins takes over 30 at that time of day., add
mist to slow traffic more, then shopping.
After that was a trip to Selco to get paving slabs and use their £10
off voucher which was valid for today only. and then unload all 32 and
shift them around 40 yds.
Not my idea of a lovely day, but at least it didn't rain.
On the brighter side, I noticed that one of the wild cherries is now
starting to flower, and my Josta berry has the first flowers open.
As for the den, you say "thank heaven for spring", I'd have thought it
would be "thank heaven for string".
David @ a rain free side of Swansea Bay.

Well, no string but a bungee cord, I think! So sorry you've had such a
rotten day. Bit of very light rain here tonight - just enough to wet
the slabs but nothing to get excited about.
