A couple of Old Perennials

As long as they are fed and watered should be around for years.

A little bit of TLC wouldn't go amiss, but I draw the line at being heavily mulched with well rotted manure! . . . lol.

me too!

Lovely photo of your dad and you Mark one to treasure, I always thought roses loved manure and smell sweet so you your not a rose then you must be a huging plant lol.

Lol! - thank you Sixpence.

He he your welcome Mark :o))

what a lovely photo of you and your dad,

Nice to meet you Muddy - and your dad of course

lovely pic of you both....

Brill photo, lovely to put a face to your name, pleased to meet you.

Thank you Yorkshire, Oliveoil and Holly. Looks like I'm a 'chip off the old block' doesn't it? . . . lol. :-)

Thanks Carol - hope I didn't give you a fright . . lol!

Both of you look really adorable! Well cute! :-)

Yeah, thanks Sgbabe - all we need are pointy hats, beards and fishing rods, then we'd grace any-one's garden pond - guaranteed to scare Herons off. . . lol!

Can't wait to tell me Dad someone thought he was cute!!!

Lovely Photo,Muddy..glad you both had a lovely day there.We keep saying we will go to Holker Hall,but not made it yet..I've heard a lot about it,so its time to make the effort..:o)

Lovely Photo......

Nice to meet you both...Two handsome devils....:>)

Great photo ... nice to meet you, Muddy . . . .

Thank you for your kind comments, Bloomer, Milky, Moti and Shirley . . . (shhh, your cheques are in the post!).
;-))

So your paying their tax s then haha ha or is it tax

Sixpence! You got me! . . . lol.
Do you find it amusing too, how threads of conversation/banter weave through different pages on the site? :-))

I find the site has seldom banter Mark only allowed for certain ones here now, shame really, and I don't think I shall miss it either.

Lovely photo. Wish I could grow a couple of perennials like that - they could do all the heavy work in my garden :) Glad you enjoyed your day out at Holker Hall - used to have regularly holiday in the Lake District but never visited it.

Thanks Gill, only problem is they wilt in the sun and need Pimms to revive them!

Sounds like too much pampering to me, MW, I think a burst of cold water from the hose works better :)

Lol! :-(

MWalter, you and dad look quite the lads resting up on the bench. You do look alike as well :)

I don't think we've visited Holker Hall (Is that near the caves? seems to trigger a memory of somewhere we visited when our kids were small...adults now!)

I've just been talking about Pimms to my friend, plotting to sit in her conservatory/garden when the weather warms up and have a refreshing drink and watch her garden lights twinkle as it goes dark :)

Tut tut Whistonlass, I've heard some excuses in my time for having a Pimms, but I've never heard THAT one before . . . (shall add it to my list!). ;-))

Which one is which Muddy!!!!!!! Lol.

Grandmage, I thought all gardeners know that eyebrows only flower on old wood!!! . . . lol. ;-))

So! Which one is which then!!! Lol. :~)

Your smiles are just infectious and sweet (think your dad will like that too?!) and I think that is what has got everyone going!!! When I first saw the pic, it made me smile as well. If I were there, I would give you both a big squeeze ha ha. :-)

I forgot to say,its nice to see you back on here,Muddy..:o)

Hey....Who are those two handsome fellas??? Hello Muddy. Nice to put a face to the name. What a great photo...one to treasure. :o)

What's this about banter not being allowed here Sixpence? That's news to me. But then again I've been away a long time.

Great photo of you and your dad. Treasured moments in time.

Thank you for your kind (& cheeky!) comments.
It's good to be back among my GOY family. :-))

Lovely photo, Muddywalters! Nice to meet you both :) What happy and handsome faces! :)

Ha ha - thank you Uma, you'll make me blush! :-))

And I'm very glad you're back...:)
