Bank Holiday Monday Blues

Looking good Olive I am now home from very hot 40deg Tuscany so enjoyed the coolness and rain today.

But broadband been down so unable to upload photos.

Thank you Scotkat, glad you had some good weather, bet you're glad to be back home though, even though it is cooler. Phew I do not think I could handle those sorts of temperatures.

Looks wonderful Olive....I spent most of the day reading....Heavy rain here all day, 5pm now and the sun has come out...

All looks lovely Olive, and I think that has improved that little spot. Lets hope the shrub thinks so too and puts out some flowers for you next year.

thanks Motti, weather forecast said you were going to get wet all day. We are due to get it shortly. :O(

Thanks Cinders, I hope it grows better now, it was new about 3 years ago and not had a flower yet. Fingers crossed eh!

Love the changes you made. It looks SO different and I can tell you had a good time out there. Sometimes things go just right!

thank you Wildrose, yes I did enjoy myself, planted out a hardy fuschia also and tied in a rambling rose. No sunshine but able to keep on working hoping for some sun tomorrow. Off out with daughter to garden centre at Brigg so will be spending if only on LUNCH! lol.

It looks really nice Olive and those Heuchera quite magnificent!

Not so great up here today - not a Scottish holiday - so no holiday blues :))
Your garden is still looking good. I like doing the garden in the rain so long as it isn't too heavy. I find weeding in the rain very theraputic!
I do hope your Rhoddie enjoys it's new home. I moved on yesterday which was getting too much sun - here's hoping both become gorgeous bloomers :)

I think that's a nice balance Barbara - job well done. :-)

Love the change around, its such a lovely sitting area.
I`m very envious of that huge hosta, do you use slug pellets B.

I love your garden oliveoil and that rhodi look great there, i done a few odds and ends in the garden myself this morning before the rain, doesen't it make you feel better..

Looks great Olive.......I know what you mean about drying towels. :o) Bet that BBQ has had a quiet time.

That looks great Mum....you're right, it's even better than before. I've been painting in flat all day, again. Still, it was raining, so at least I did something constructive Scott and I have redecorated the whole blooming thing in three days, with a bit of help from Rachel, who steam cleaned the kitchen. We are shattered!

It all looks lovely. A job well done.

Thank you one and all, it was lovely to pick up all these very nice messages. Much appreciated all of your lovely comments. I will keep you posted on the rhoddies performance or not as the case may be. Thank you all again.

Stroller I do use pellets but there are some holes in the leaves you just cannot see them think it is because it is so big and because it has quite a lot of white in the leaf it just seems to disguise the holes.

That's lovely, Olive! Opened up that corner nicely! Hope your washing dries. :o)

It could do today Nariz....I feel like singing oh what a beautiful morning......but that would make it rain!

lol: thanks Nariz, the washing nearly dried, managed to get it in just in time.

I am a bit like that Pamg my singing makes it rain but it is lovely and sunny out there at the minute which is all good as I am off out to a GC today with my daughter.
