😱Well what a day that was!!

Gosh Meadow that was quick!! thank you so much, not sure where to place the trowel, far too good to use!! another 10 years and you get a fork, to go with it ha ha...(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Great Grandparents? You aren't old enough for that!! Congratulations Angela...how lovely! Looking forward to the photo. :) x I don't think I shall ever get the engraved trowel. Scott is already fed up of opening the garden...mostly because of the weather. :S

After the last few weeks I felt like a great grandmother and looked it, believe me Karen, it is bad enough when your children give birth, but even worse when your grandchildren do, and everything goes wrong, poor Catherine went through the mill, enough to put her off having
any more children......
Luckily I didn't do any cakes just a few homemade biscuits! but it is difficult with the weather being so changeable!! I can understand Scott!

No meadow!! after 30 years you get a sundial... I think!! I won't be around to worry lol

A well deserved award which was lovely to hear about. Congratulations too on being great grand parents, a very special feeling I am sure.

Congratulations DD on becoming Great Grandparents,your Anniversary and your award wow how fantastic,glad the baby is doing well now,best wishes to all.

Many thanks Wildrose, it was a traumatic few days, with the little one in intensive care, but hopefully all that is behind us, and looking forward to her running around the garden, and no doubt picking all the heads off the flowers!
Callie thank you so much, hectic weekend. but an enjoyable one.need a rest to get over all the excitement....

Here in Bracknell, we often remark "our garden is good enough to open just now." The looking back, we realise we DID open on that day in the past so now we are getting the benefits.
Congratulations on making it to 'the trowel' - an heirloom for Ivy maybe?

Dd well done on achieving your award, you both deserve it, Your garden is always an absolute picture.
Congratulations on your anniversary and especially the birth of the new great-grandchild, very traumatic few days for all of you but so pleased mummy and baby are doing fine now, that visit put the icing on the cake for you, as you say it made it all the more special...Best Wishes to the parents and little Ivy..x

Congratulations on getting the engraved trowel, for becoming great-grandparents & for the wedding anniversary!

Missed this .. but never to late to say congratulations Dd everything came good in the end and to top it off with a beautiful great granddaughter it couldn't end better than that could it ... our summer has been taken over with visiting relatives and then having them here we love seeing and having them but last night we were quite happy to sink into our chairs in silence :o))
