Is May my favourite month? Perhaps. Ask me again in June. Whatever I might say in the future, May is certainly up there with the best. It is a time when all things seem possible. Bubbles have yet to be burst. True, we have a few aphid and the nights could be a bit warmer,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Optimism”

Six on Saturday – Top Secret Kittens
It was touch and go as to whether I would make this week’s Six on Saturday. Luckily, I got back in time from my top-secret kitten-rescuing mission to complete my task. Rest assured that all kittens are safe and well. I hope you are too. Any more information needed then pop on over to P’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Top Secret Kittens”
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. Exactly who does that Propagator chappy think he is anyway? Controlling my Saturdays, forcing me to go outside into the big outdoors, rummaging around in my gardenContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Mind Control”

Shade
Dusky aquilegia in the dappled shade. Which was where I was skulking most of the day. Unfortunately this did not involve a hammock, the latest hort-lit blockbuster or even a pint of piña colada. Just spiteful nettles, strings of enchanter’s nightshade and stubborn self-seeded ferns. Well you can’t have everything.
Negligence
I am sure I am not alone, but when I have been away from home, even for a short time, I need time to reconnect. As I by necessity I leapt straight from the frying pan into the fire, back to work with barely time to remove my sombrero, it has been a disconcerting week.Continue reading “Negligence”
The First is Always the Best
This is my first aquilegia flower of the year. Undoubtedly there have been some that I missed along the way. I was probably admiring foals, sending WM’s into water butts, falling into nettles, eating my sandwiches, chitty chatting, digging, fighting ground elder, dancing or perhaps even day-dreaming. Either way today’s columbine was looking marvellous, asContinue reading “The First is Always the Best”
