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? Perhaps. Or maybe a case of any port in a storm. Not quite safe enough though.

Upside Down, Boy You Turn Me

Yesterday a parcel of plants was left, according to the email I received whilst I was out working, “In a safe place”. This oh so secure and nurturing place was outside my front door in the rain.

You may think that is a lot. I suppose you only really need one. My three perform differentContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Watches”

Perfect Parcel

Who doesn’t love to get home from a hard day at the coal face to find that your previously ordered plants have arrived? I have heard tell that are some strange folk out there who wouldn’t get quite as excited as me, but this could be apocryphal. A parcel is a wonderful thing and oneContinue reading “Perfect Parcel”

Toil

It seemed like a brilliant idea. “Let’s make a flower bed in the middle of the lawn. More colour, less mowing. There will be plenty left if you ever fancy a game of crochet.” A perfect plan, not just perfect, inspired. “We’ll pile the sods in corner a few meters away and when it hasContinue reading “Toil”
