Thank you all for the kind wishes for my birthday yesterday, and the GoY choir for their rendition of Happy Birthday. As mentioned, I was taken out for the day by my brother and sister, and we visited Stockbridge in Hampshire, which is a very old small town/village. After a stroll around some ancient and interesting shops we went to the White Hart for our lunch, where a great time was had catching up with all the news. After lunch we visited the proverbial Garden Centre !! This one was at Longstock, just a couple of miles down the road, where I had to buy a lovely Clematis, and would have liked to buy more….but another time. We then went back to my sisters house for more natter and tea and cake, then back home early evening, feeling tired and happy. Not used to all this talking,…. A few photos to illustrate …

The lovely card made for me by Yorkshire

This one from my brother !!

I’m the little one ?


Viburnum ‘Juddii’ and the scent was glorious


This is the one I bought. Clematis macropetala ‘Lagoon’

Happy Birthday a day late.You did have a good time and lovely photographs to share with us. I love that magnolia stellata. I did not realise they grew so big. I also love your new clematis. I would have been unable to resist that glorious viburnum. Thank you for a look at what is happening in Hampshire. We are still enjoying howling winds and lots of rain. In between heavy showers I have been trying to get my potatoes planted but had to call off yesterday as I was getting more mud on my boots than soil in the potato pots. Just over the garden wall on the village green the daffodils are valiantly struggling to stay upright.

Thank you Scotsgran, and Teds. It was a lovely day but a little windy. The Stellata was huge, and the Viburnum, well ... have you ever had that feeling that you should have stretched the moneypot and bought it ?...only thing is that I havent really got anywhere to put one like that at the moment.
