3: Gardening Diaries ...

Yes, but he's married and she's married with children. I am old fashion!

I don't think that he wants to be with her, he just wants to ruin their marriage.

Glad that you've got your keys and hope that your legs get better.

Whoa! That sounds sinister.

I have now a Korean Patch on my worse leg and the odour of the camphor is no laughing matter, but it does do the job. Sis's gift. Found the keys and thank you, leg is now a bit better. I was panicking as I couldn't find the supports bought by ex.

Hope @Upsy Daisy 's migraine no more! I count myself lucky that I have yet to learn what a migraine is. I do know what tinnitus is, but I am rarely troubled by it.

Caught up with Beechgrove and saw the Duke of York potatoes which were tiny. Funny thing was that I didn't even know I missed a GW episode. Saw prince charles on the advert and said to myself that I wasn't going to saw it. Thought it was a separate episode until I saw it in the middle of the GW series. The man was so vain. He's miles shorter than Adam Frost. He must have stood on a 4 to 6 inches step so that Adam Frost didn't dwarf him. There is no way that Adam was only that much taller than him. The man is vain and pompous!

Very excited seeing Monty's step over apples. I will prune mine tomorrow. I do have 2 with fruits. One has delicious fruits as well.

Got an email from B&Q saying that I will only get 10% discount on gardening / plants on Wednesday! Meanie!

Oh Alp, I’m glad to hear you made it back from your expedition in one piece! I’m sure your son enjoyed it, minus the driving perhaps. I wonder what your neighbours thought!! Probably suspected fly tipping or that a truck had dropped its contents by accident speeding! Imagine if they got the wrong house number maybe I could hire this bloke for my noisy neighbours?

29c here today, which is just about my limit, 32 tomorrow. Yippee. Although I’ll happily take that over the winter winds of last week.

Upsy, I’m often the same - avoid all technology, drink lots of water, get lots of sleep or just rest in a dark room with a cold flannel/take a cold shower and wear sunglasses even in doors. All these steps really help me - I suspect it’s the heat returning as a trigger? Maybe stress?

My son loves driving, apart from getting to M1 motorway near Sheffield. He asked me to drive and then HE made a mistake and we missed one turning. So now I know what scared him. Other than that, he likes to be the boss and me being so short, once I fix the seat, my visual field is limited. After the mistake, he took over. Yes, that does like fly tipping. Basically, I didn't agree to giving him any money. He just needed to dispose of this tree surgeon waste. But ex gave them all the money he had in cash. £3.50.

Mark: be careful of the lack of vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals. When you stay in the dark for too long, it might weaken your bones. Are you sure you're not JOKING! Haha!

The night before we set off the holiday 28th Friday night. Factory in full swing and I had my window opened. The air stayed with me for the whole of next 2 days. Talking about neighbours!

 

[Logan]

@alp glad that your legs feel better. Yes i hope Upsy is ok. I know a woman who has migraine so bad, that she has to inject Botox into her scalp to relax the muscles.

Hubby can only get 10 percent discount at B&Q on a Wednesday and one of the garden centre on tuesday.

Whoa! That sounds sinister.

Yes

 

[Mark56]

I’ve heard that is helpful too Logan glad as so many seem to struggle.

Only for the day of course Alp, it works wonders. They come & go for me as a symptom of my condition, I do find sun helpful when I’m not feeling ‘heady’

@Mark56

STOWE FOR YOU!

Perhaps you have been. The drive way to the reception is a long one and the driveway to the house is also a long way. Those going to school here (part of it has become a school, part a golf course) must be arriving IN STYLE, in various posh cars! LOL! Such a long drive and they certainly can't walk ..

The arch is situated in between entrance and the house itself which was not open because of wedding!

The house fronted by a golf course and a huge pond!

A church inside the grounds

Closer view of the house

Lovely water features

A folly

Lovely dome ceiling

Folly close up.

OK! Uploaded too many

The temple of Virtue

Stained glasses in the parish church - open to all. Some part as old as 1250?? and the 2nd stained glass was to commemorate the last owner's son's death in WW1

The do-gooders in British History

I think they are Sir Walter Raleigh, Francis Drake, Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth I, King Alred, Prince of Wales..

Temple of Virtue

I think this is a palladium bridge. I might be quite wrong.

Yes after i posted, hubby told me about it.
Morning @alp and all.

Lovely pics @alp and @Mark56

Good morning, @Logan et al: Got up 6.13 and turned on the washing machine for the first wash and then tried to reduce the mulch mountain. This is getting embarrassing silly and I am going to give them away free at Freecycle. 2nd round of laundry and now am having a bite with the luxury of the fan glued to my face. So much heat in the air and the tomatoes and Salvia amistad is staring at me miserably.

Will be out again after a cup of tea until the morning sun hit the mulch mountain.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

A quick 'Hi' , hope everyone is well. Another scorcher today...keep cool and hydrated

 

[alp]

Upsy: How's your migraine? Are you better today? Why this rush?
