*&%%*£ weather!
I wonder how the rest of you are faring this w/e? We have had some very
mixed weather but none of that blazing heat we were promised - dull, cloudy, some rain and to cap it all, it is *pouring* with rain this morning - and on what should be one of the nurseryman's busiest days of the year! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

It reached 25DegC for about 30 minutes here in NL yesterday. Summer finished sometime later and it's been pouring down since. Some might say the garden needs it. :-) Tcha! Not this garden - it's sodden. We can't even weed it for fear of compacting the soil when we tread on it! My daughter has just rung me from London and says it's lovely there! Dry sunny and breezy here in North cambs. Not exactly cold but not as warm as last week.Perfect for drying laundry though, or gardening. |

Saturday - a bit of drizzle in the morning, but the promised heavier rain failed to materialise, and we had a fantastic day wandering over the Dales, including finding a cave with the most fantastic display of stalactities and flowstone imaginable - a real unexpected bonus. Sunday - sunshine especially late afternoon, lovely walk through local park. Today - scorching hot, breakfast on terrace, lunch in garden. At 3.0 it clouded over and is now raining, which is fortunate as I have lots of things I need to do indoors ;-) -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Lovely weekend here, a few spots of rain but not enough to even wet the patio during the day though it must have rained last night, blazing sunshine for most of the time.

Apart from that, we might be able to grab 3 or 4 days in Jersey with my son and daughter in law who have just moved back there. Their rather large garden needs some sorting out to bring it up to date and as my son's knowledge of plants is pretty much "that's a dandelion and I think that's a daffodil", we're going to be drafted in! He inherited the house from his grandparents who were passionate gardeners but his grandmother, who was pre-deceased by her husband, tried to keep the garden as he had known it when he died in 1998. It is still a remarkably lovely garden but it is also an illustration of how quickly a garden can stagnate or even go backwards in terms of the dying off of old plants which aren't replaced etc. or clinging on to things which are past their prime, just for sentiment's sake. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

We have had some very mixed weather but none of that blazing heat we were promised - dull, cloudy, some rain and to cap it all, it is *pouring* with rain this morning - and on what should be one of the nurseryman's busiest days of the year! Hard luck! There I was waiting for the promised rain, but all I got was a little bit of cloud. I have not worked so long and hard or so successfully in the garden for ages, from Fri evening through to late Monday - it was mostly very sunny and often hot and humid. So late afternoon I stood on my newly mown lawn and admired the shrubs and trees with their new leaves and their newly cut circles of earth filled with special soil from the floor of the old barn, and listened to the rushing sound of my waterfall which I started up yesterday after some 2.5 years of neglect. I was so amazed and thrilled it went on straight away, it was wonderful. A couple of new friends arrived and we sat out in the sunken rock garden and had tea. And my youngest son, 15, managed to catch a newt in his hands, I thought we had none but he'd seen lots - including the small lighter coloured youngsters apparently. What amazing feet and toes and the way they move! I went back after dark just to listen to the water, and look out for more newts - but no luck.* I could do with some of your rain though, I think we have had it very dry here since last Autumn, but I do envy you your generally warmer climate!! * Blow me if he hasn't just caught another one just now, and we looked underneath and it has the most amazing vivid yellow and orange belly with black spots - I'd never have thought of doing this had it not been for the urg thread recently. I grabbed a couple of digi photos too. -- David On the first of the Chilterns looking NE to Cambridge |

No internet access too? There is a cyba cafe on board, but I will be taking a laptop with satalite access my emails and to the internet. Imagine being cooped up in a super P&O ferry from Southampton to Southampton for 3 months. 12 hours from R'dam to Hull is enough to last a life time. :-) ;-( not quite the same. The entertainment, food, excursions, views, thoughts, company, sights, sounds etc are just not the same.
