It has been a very good week. Highlights included: wheeless barrows, gin kits, a static Elvis, celeriac, a plethora of books, downward dogs in the rain and most importantly an adorable cat. I had tales to tell and pictures to share but not the time, or possibly the inclination, to write a blog about them.Continue reading “Sixish on Saturday”

Six on Saturday – Linkful
Another Six on Saturday and, with a little help from my friends, specifically my blogging mate Jude, I have discovered the link button in this “oh, so moderne” block editor. It seems fair to have used this newly discovered facility to direct you to Jude’s site where no doubt she has also, or is aboutContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Linkful”
Grumpy
In our house we are very happy that the wind has changed direction. As I type I am accompanied by a roaring, whistling, splashing medley. Much mischief is occurring in the back garden, where the weather is doing its utmost to uproot plants, dishevel pots and flatten the shed which is being held up byContinue reading “Grumpy”
More Roses
I have failed. I can’t for the life of me remember what this rose in Max’s garden is called. Luckily its beauty makes up for any of my shortcomings.

It would be unfair to name names as to the source of this gossip, but I will give you a couple of clues to their identity – Haribos and edifices. I would like to putContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Accusations”
Rogues and Roses
Bill and Ben’s garden was well planted, albeit several decades ago. To paraphrase Tennyson, it is “red in tooth and thorn” out there in the horticultural world. And we are talking about plants not the gardeners! Unchecked, interlopers invade, the vigorous stifle the slow-growing and the neglected grow unkept. I have been clearing an areaContinue reading “Rogues and Roses”
Six on Saturday – Aforethought
The weather forecast for today was dreadful; torrential rain, howling north easterlies, possibly frogs. So, as a dedicated disciple of Six on Saturday, and a most sensible and organised person, I took my photos yesterday. Today, so far, has been quite dry. This is not the point, which is that I was prepared for allContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Aforethought”
