Hi people just wanted to say hello. Well I live in suffolk and we have had a hose ban for months, when we needed the water and now that it has rained for about 2 months solid with the nice day here and there and woop woop we are allowed to use our hose pipes. Well my garden was looking amazing with my peonies with massive flowers and petunias looking great in the baskets but the heavy rain that we have had has destroyed all the beautifull blooms on so many of my little lovelys. I so want to get out there to enjoy the wonderful roses and scents from the pinks but do you know we havent had an evening yet where we could sit out under my lovely pergoda which Simon built me with lovely lights all over it. Why oh why can we not enjoy our gardens!!!!! I have alot of work to do as yet. We have started to work on the pond as we are reverting it to the original style more natural looking but alas we are waiting for a good day without working in the heavy clay, which is what my garden consists of. Sorry I am so miserable it is just so frustrating as work all week is bad enough in this weather but when you cant even get on in your own at the weekend it is so annoying. I mean come on I am watching formula 1 boo hoo !!!! Hope you are all making the most of any bright spells I am trying. Please send me some nice weather and cheer xxx

I know how you feel Jewels, I think we are all feeling like that. I have never known it rain so much and although my garden is very green and lush its such a shame that I cant enjoy it. I too have jobs which are being left as its far to wet and I dont fancy getting soaked, I hope your feeling better soon and can have some nice days and evenings enjoying your garden. It kind of feels like Autumn where I am at the moment and this year is just going far too fast, so lets hope it lets up soon... Formula 1.... arrgggh, I am lucky my hubby does not like sport of any kind so I do feel for you...

It is depressing Jewells, know what you mean - we're a bit worse off than you, cos despite all the rain here, our hosepipe ban is still in place, so if it gets hot and dry, no hosepipe regardless. But it seems weeks since we had that heatwave - during which, I noticed, the plants fairly grew before my very eyes...

The sun is smiling here so I'm sending you some

We've got plenty to spare today, and I'm making the most while I can before it rains again ...

We had a bad start but it cleared up by lunchtime, so I have been in the garden for a while, its gone absolutely mad this past two weeks because we`ve had a few warmer days even whilst it was raining, only thing not growing around here Jewells is me, lol.
I fully understand how frustrating it is, I drive myself crazy, your pergola and pond look lovely..
