This morning Lord and Lady Mantle introduced me to three giant cacti, wondering where we could fit them into their planting scheme. Not quite sure where they will best slot into the general “Game of Thrones meets The Only Way is Essex” ambience. Lord Mantle was looking fine in his natty hat though.

Six on Saturday – Mind Control
Until about an hour ago I was definitely not going to partake in Six on Saturday today. I was strong. I was recalcitrant. I would not be bowed.

After chasing a bee around wind-blown lavender for two incredibly tedious minutes, a previous announcement in a post Trending sprung to mind. This may run and run.
Six on Saturday – Bunnies
Happy Six on Saturday Easter! Or should that be Happy Easter Six on Saturday? Whichever, I hope your Easter is a good one, whether or not you partake in this weekly rite. Not sure what I am on about? Nothing new there then. It may all become a little clearer if you visit The EasterContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Bunnies”
Carnage
Another day, another company, another courier. Today I will try to salvage the poor lupins that were crushed into an undersized box and left to their fate. Replacements are apparently now on their way, but still I despair. Is it me?
Shameless
Shameless? Perhaps. Or maybe a case of any port in a storm. Not quite safe enough though.
