Good morning to al cool and breezy day.. Air is much fresher. Watered most of my plants. Will mow the lawns, probably ...

Morning @alp did you see my roses? thought you might have missed them. Planted all the marigolds,snapdragons and tomatoes. Going to clear a space for the cosmos. Hubby managed to get Barley out this morning, by being a more nice to himand taking him where he wants to go. I've always been convinced that he's afraid going up the road. I take him around our house and into the copice or right round the back and along by the school. @alp have a good holiday.

Good morning @Logan and all others as and when you all look in.

Grey and overcast here today ,but thankfully mild ...still a shock to the old system after all that lovely hot sunshine.....let's hope that wasn't our summer!!

What are you all up to today?

I'm popping over to my dad's at some point and then going up to my mum's grave to return her stone flower planter that I have filled with a summer display .

Then I hope to continue biennial sowing this afternoon

After a hetic week I hope you all have a Soothing Saturday!

@Verdun Good morning ... I'd love it to be overcast! Or, better still, a bit of @Zenj 's neon blue and yellow blobs on Essex! That will ease @Zenj 's chagrin ..

These roses are on a raised bed and is one of the 10 plants left by the previous owner. So can't capture all the flowers..
