Some plants are very late coming into bloom in our garden. As we live in a blame-blame culture I am going to point the finger at a hard winter, a late spring, followed by a sweltering summer. It could be one, the other, a combination of any, whatever, they are tardy. This reluctance to flowerContinue reading “Blame”

Six on Saturday – Disrupted
It has been a disruptive week. I am disrupted. Bits all over the place. Betwixt and between I have half an hour to spare. What better use of this time than attempting a Six on Saturday. I mean if Mr K can fell and dispose of a 15m length of leylandii and still contribute toContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Disrupted”
Six on Saturday – The Builders Are Coming …….
September, how did that happen? This “time passing” malarkey is quite disturbing sometimes. It is Six on Saturday time once more. What Andrew Lloyd Webber is to musical theatre, The Prop is to the Meme. But much more handsome. Take a look at his blog and marvel at some of his greatest hits, the divasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – The Builders Are Coming …….”
Six on Saturday – Eye of the Storm
As we have been spared, well I have anyway, Six on Saturday will go ahead as planned. Please do us all a favour and take a look at the The Prop’s site, he gets in a terrible sulk if you don’t. And a Propogator sulk is a magnificently terrifying event. We begin with SalviaContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Eye of the Storm”
Six on Saturday – Wise Words
Another day, another Six on Saturday. As I am on a jolly holiday trip today I have risen very, very, very early* to contribute to this popular meme, for fear of the wrath of The Emperor Prop if I should miss another week**. Due to my extreme rushdom these photos could have done with aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Wise Words”
Six on Saturday – I made it in the end
I definitely wasn’t going to do a SoS this week, categorically not. Then I relented, I changed my mind. Which is par for the course. Please bear this in mind if you are trying to persuade me to co-star with Hugh Jackman in a remake of Les Mis. Here we are again, and which meansContinue reading “Six on Saturday – I made it in the end”
Six on Saturday – Gifts
I bunked off last week. There was a very good excuse. As no one seemed to notice I will continue unabashed. I will bank the good excuse for another time. Here we are again, Six on Saturday, the pyramid selling concern started by the President of Prop Towers, The Prop. This tower should not beContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Gifts”
Return
I’ve been away for a few days. And very nice it was too. However, it is hard to leave your garden in the midst of the growing season, drought or no drought. Actually I’m not sure anyone has officially said the “D” word yet, but it won’t be long, mark my words. The day beforeContinue reading “Return”
Six on Saturday – Birthday Girl
Saturday 14th July. Now that date rings a bell. Something or other is going on. Don’t tell me, it is on the tip of my tongue. Oh yes, Six on Saturday. That wonderful meme hosted by the indomitable Mr Prop. But there is a niggle that I might have forgotten another important event. Silly me,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Birthday Girl”
Six on Saturday – Ruthless
Beware, I am in a ruthless mood today. Inhabitants of the garden that have not been performing to my exacting standards have been extradited to the green bin. Oleander that has never flowered, promised once but was only joking – Out! Dead stick thing that has been in extensive care for so long the labelContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ruthless”
