Sounds like a lovely day, @Upsy Daisy good to your Mr Upsy Daisy to help. I reckon I will sleep very well. After 7pm, there was a terrible wind blowing and a bit of drizzle. Very strange weather and it was sunny and warm in the afternoon.

Drizzle!!.........you had drizzle.......lucky you

But the drizzle has frizzled out!

I know - cry me a river! I lugged my shower water down to water my garden. When it was cold, I could see steam coming out of the plants..

See how desperate I am.

OOOps went a bit wrong!

Lovely aquilegias and osteospermum, (I think). That lily of the valley is so quaint. Do they need moisture and shade? I never thought I had the right condition for them. Seeing it here makes me want to have one!

See, you can take photos and we look forward to seeing your beauties.

Yes they do alp, a couple of years ago I pinched a couple out of my Dad's garden and planted them under some trees. They are now gradually multiplying

Well, if I can get my meconopsis to grow or can see any trollius Chinensis, I will give it a go. Even my usually moist and shady nursery bed is now BONE DRY!
