Gardening where ever I am...

Hello Cat, how lovely to hear from you, I wondered where you were, seems you are flitting back and forth, sounds like you are well and that life is good for you, I like your little representative very cute, when do we see one with you on a horse, lol.
Lovely photo`s Cat, have a safe journey back and looking forward to hearing from you again soon....

Thank you Linclass...I have actually made a cowgirl..but sent it to my Grand daughter along with a horse I hand stitched out of cloth felt for her 6th birthday.. :o) This business of not being where I can really get out and work in a garden, mostly because it has been so very, very hot and humid here, makes for finding things to do inside! Well ..in truth, I took up the needle felting last winter while in North Wales..all the wool there makes my fingers want to feel it! So this is what happens.. am now running to your pages to see what you have been up to!

Nice to hear from you after a long time Cat :o)
I'm pleased you're enjoying your break back in America. You've found an interesting hobby :o)

We don`t really know how it feels to be hot and humid this year Cat, lol...

I know..I have heard about your very wet & cool summer Sue! Here I have been craving such a thing and missing cool to an extreme I had no idea I was capable of! When you step outside and your lungs scream at you to get back in the house where the air is cool and dry enough to suck in...it is bad...June, July and August was in the 100's and very humid..here..nothing...and I mean nothing, I will ever plan on partaking in again..it will either be the UK or the Northwest coast of the USA..for me in the summer..short visits in the early spring and very late fall could happen here on this Eastern shore of the USA perhaps...but I am a cool weather bird I fear....

Hywel..so nice to hear from you, and see that you are doing well...taking in lovely Smokey.. :o) Now that makes me smile..

How privileged you are to see a Swallow Tail Butterfly - I think that is what it is and an American Robin and a TurtleDove - and all those pretty flowers - wow you will have wonderful memories of your trip - by the way North Wales is a little like Shropshire at the moment - I think - wet - cold and misty - but still very beautiful - have a safe journey

Hello Marigold 6 :o) I am not sure we have met... yes the Swallowtail is lovely..there were loads of them here..I have been very impressed see the Peacock Butterflies here on goy that members have been posting photos of..so pretty and so many colours! I have been avoiding goy I am afraid as I have had to be away some time now from Wales and get so terribly homesick looking at the garden in the UK. Seeing the little English robin, makes my heart miss a beat . They are so dear to me...I hope I will find myself on goy a bit more and will get to know more of you..thank you for your post! :o)

Hi Cat, it's great to see you back on here, and to know you have made your home here in the UK, much love to you both! I remember GFs fabulous garden and how he was getting to grips with things, I'm sure between you both, you will have created a fantastic, magical place. Love your pics here, especially the Swallowtail, that is stunning....:)). Take care X

Hi Janey, Thank you ! We seem to find something to do at every turn..GF has been building his water falls and we took out his old Vanny and built 3 good sized raised garden beds there...we are also installing a new green house next to them..so I can do some winter and early spring veg gardening.. :o) When you can garden..life is good!

looks like you have been enjoying america Cat. so its back to wales, warm fires and winters full of craft projects...Bliss..:-)

lol..yes Sandra yes..Bliss for sure! :o) xx

Hi Cat it's lovely to see you back here on GOY , we have swallowtailed butterflies in Norfolk but very few of them ,the only time I have seen one was in France on holiday ! you are going to be very busy with all your planned projects ,I love your felt work it will keep you busy on those dark winter nights :o)

Hi Amy! :o) There were loads of the Swallowtail here in Newport News, Virginia..they must love heat and humidity..! Yes I have a feeling my lap will be holding wool and felting needles this winter.. :o) such a sweet and simple craft ..
