3: Gardening Diaries ...

@Logan Actually, I don't really know my size. All I know is that one day during the holiday my knickers kept falling down and in the end I had to put on a pair of trousers to stop me having to keep them up. Very embarrassing.

Just come back. Bought nothing but a tray of 6 perfectly good looking Gazania for 30p. Would be rude not to buy them. Then 99p for a double osteospermum, £10 for a patio peach tree, £2 each for 2 roses. Didn't want to be carried away as I saw Paul Scarlet which I bought for £1 in Poundland on reduction there for £3! Got a Knautia as a treat for my bees and a blueberry shrub for £3. It's called Liberty.

Fasting starts NOW!

I want to clear the mulch hill today so that I can mow the lawn tomorrow morning. But it's so hot. I am not sure I want to work in the blazing setting sun!

More of Levens Hall - it must be like treacle tart like - too much too sweet!

We sat under this tree whilst it's raining for 15 minutes - too early for the house to open!

Big lily pond there.

Sizergh - another austere grey mansion - it boasts of a very mature and beautiful garden. Lots of exquisite acer palmatum dissectums and a diverse range of plants.

Crinum - beautiful!

Love the inlays

Stunning pieces

Hiya, @Leeski Glad to have you back on the thread. Had a nice weekend? Any major coming up?

Just been trying to find shade and air all day I have chronic psoriasis this weather is a nightmare for me I have numerous little areas in my garden where I can follow the shade most of the day at min sat beside my water butt reading a book

@Leeski Are they itchy and bubbly? Have you tried sun cream? I used to have heat rash. Even if I walk under the trees in a hot and sunny day, my arms will be itchy and I scratched and scratched until this woman offered me her suncream. I didn't like the texture on my arms, but it worked. Now that I am older, this is not so bad a problem.

I can’t use sun cream it’s like acid to me :-(
at the min I have light treatment 4 times a wk in hospital .
to be fair this year it’s not as bad as it has been 2012 was in hospital for a month

Crikey! That sounds terrifying. So in the shade, you get a bit of relief? Is it itchy or weepy?

Should have the size on the label inside the garment.

My measurements are waist 31inch and hips 40inch. That's a size 16.
Yes very embarrassing.

@Leeski sorry about your psoriasis, must be very painful at times.
