Well not the best of summers so far really want to be in the garden but the rain is persistant, also on a personal note my partner and I are splitting up (amicable) single again at 55 a bit daunting so I could do with the gardening to take my mind of things and keep me occupied.

Apparantly the sun is supposed to be out for awhile on Saturday so fingers crossed. On a lot happier note I am going out on Saturday to look at wedding dresses with my youngest daughter who got engaged whilst we were all away in Portugal she is planning to get married 31st August next year:)))) If the rain holds off will do gardening and take a few pics to share.

Very Sorry to hear your bad news Nana D :((( Congratualtions to your daughter

I don't know whether to sympathise or cheer, Nana, or perhaps both, at the first part of your post - all I can say is, welcome to the club. You will survive, and probably very well, once you've adjusted ... I prefer it now, being single I mean. And gardening is a saviour when life is tough - that's if the weather ever lets up of course.
A wedding to look forward to as well - means a new outfit for you as well I'd guess....

I have the perfect GoYer I'd like to set you up with ;)
Kidding aside, congrats on the engagement and good to know it was amicable. Shows what a lady you are :) Wishing you well always!

Thanks Paul, we are actually looking at a wedding venue not looking at wedding dresses til the 28th of this month Laura wants to have the wedding at Compton Acres look it up the the website the gardens are absolutely beautiful:) Bamboo think you should cheer as things have not been right for awhile and it needed to be sorted still a bit scary though! Yes gardening is a saviour so lets keep our fingers crossed we can get out there soon!! Thanks Lil and sooooo keeping my fingers crossed on your two entries love them both:) Hi TT thank you so much for your lovely words:) If the weather is rubbish I am going to do another mosaic for my friend Jenny who lost her cat Rosie last week I loved all her cats but Rosie who was very old was my favourite she had a lovely long life which is nice and was truly loved:)

NanaD, sorry to hear that things have been rough for a while, but I hope you will be happier when you are free to do exactly as you please, only wash your own undies, only tidy up your own mess, eat chocolate and rubbish whenever you like without having to cook for anyone else afterwards, never have to put the loo seat down, no shirts to iron, no footie on the telly, and please your self all day long! :D And who knows, perhaps there is someone really special around the corner...you never can tell...a gorgeous lady like you...you won't be short of admirers! :D Congratulations on the up and coming nuptials....I love a wedding myself, always cry, but I am a bit of a romantic at heart!

Ah thankyou Karen yes I agree being able to please myself will be lovely Brian has not moved out yet he has got to sort out somewhere to live etc so we are sort of in limbo at the mo. Look up Compton Acres Karen the gardens are superb we are going there on Sat morning to see what they offer venue and price wise, no doubt extremely expensive lol:)

I honestly do not know what to say Nan other than I`m sorry and wish you well for the future, it must be difficult at the moment but at least you have the wedding to plan and look forward to, I agree a bit of gardening therapy does help in times of stress, lets hope we can soon get lots of good days....
