July, who’d have thought it? It will soon be school holidays (better journey to work for me), Peggy’s birthday (cream teas, always good), rain, Tour de France (niche, I know). Oh, and glorious gardens. If you would like to admire some of these wonders then pop over to Jim at Garden Ruminations who hosts ourContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Le Tour”

Six on Saturday – Honest
I am sat here thinking about what happened this week, something of interest that I could share with you. Nope. Nothing comes to mind. Nothing of note. It rained, it sunned, I worked, I saw a kingfisher. It was just fine. And it also seemed a little bit overwhelming. You know – weeds, blackfly, slugs,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Honest”
Six on Saturday – Special Day
This year I am determined not to get despondent on the Summer Solstice, as is my wont. I will celebrate and wear flowers in my hair and live in the glorious moment, I may even frolic a little. Then we can begin rapid the descent into winter and gloom and despair. As usual, I exaggerate,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Special Day”
Six on Saturday – Blurry
It is all getting a little blurry now. Blurry in a cartoon passage of time way. The rain has caused good and bad to spurt, the wind (combined with above rain) has assaulted the delicate ones and the sun has calmed the gardener’s brow. At the moment we are mid storm systems, an hour orContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Blurry”
Six on Saturday – Back
I’m sure Peggy would write a note for me if needed, but I am equally confident you will believe that I missed last week’s SoS because my back was being a diva. It had started to grumble the previous weekend, possibly due to pent up fencer rage. Things did not improve even though I imposedContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Back”
Six on Saturday – Fence
A problem has been resolved this week, one which was out of our control but was both niggling and invasive. We do not own any of the fences surrounding our garden. Horrah! you might think, no maintenance costs or stormy weather worries. A fair point. Let us consider another scenario. What if a fence, shallContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Fence”
Six on Saturday – Scandal
Usually I take my photos and write some of my Six on Saturday the day before, tweaking and posting on Saturday morning. No great scandal there. This week is different. I am not here. I am somewhere else with OH and Lady Mantle. Also no scandal. Actually, the day is young, so no promises. ItContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Scandal”
Six on Saturday – There Will Always Be Nasturtium
On the swingometer known as The British Weather, the arrow is apparently shifting to “mini-heatwave”. We should, however, put this into perspective. On a world scale, this is small beer, we are not talking high summer in Death Valley or even sub-Saharan spring. It is going to be a bit warm after being a bitContinue reading “Six on Saturday – There Will Always Be Nasturtium”
Six on Saturday – Here Comes the Rain
We wished for it and our hopes were answered. You can, however, have too much of a good thing. Enough rain now. Please. Have a nosey at our SoS leader’s site, Jim at Garden Ruminations, to find out if anyone else is acting like a spoilt brat. Shall we mosey on? This delicate umbellifer, ChaerophyllumContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Here Comes the Rain”
Six on Saturday – Awakenings
Well, this is more like it. Stuff seems to be happening in the garden. Good stuff. That, to me, is the definition of spring. Positivity. And don’t we need it?! Shoots and blossom and frogspawn are useful allies in reminding us of stronger forces. We need less reporting by mainstream media on the deluded andContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Awakenings”
