Hydrangea Grandiflora.

Hi Katarina, yes we are well blessed with rain,(every summer),and winter,spring,autumn,always p!enty of rain,it's sun we need, Derek.

Those blooms look huge Kat , we had a storm today several plants were broken down ....

Derek, complain at your ancestors, lol. Those are northern islands. But definitively it is paradise for rhodies. Wishing you a lot of sun in next days.

Hi, Amy, yes, they are as big as human heads.

Hi Katarina, thanks for the wish for sunshine, we are due for a couple of days this week, cooling down from a high of 23c on Wednesday, which usually means rain, Derek.

What does it mean "we are due for a couple of days", please? I do not understand.

What a lovely sight. Those hydrangeas will surely last and last. The pot is very pretty.

"We are due for" can mean "we are owed". Derek must have had a lot of rain recently, so to balance it up, he should now have a couple of days' sunshine. I hope he gets it!

It is absolutely beautiful. Earlier I was looking at a vase very similar to yours, now I wish I had bought it. :(

Hi Katarina, Sorry I wasn't very clear, it means that we were forecast to have a couple of days of sunshine, we didn't get it though, it was very cloudy, now we have the rain AGAIN, Derek.

It's just started here, too :-(

Thank you to you both for explanations. The forecast for Europe is, that it will be rainy-sunny-rainy till the end of July, but warm. I am quite happy with it.

I'm sure the gardens will love it!

Yes, and also thieves. I found their ladder in my garden today.

Oh dear :-(

Unfortunately, both are my neighbours. They know I am not living there (it is just garden without house), so they use the situation.

I didn't know your garden is not where you live! How is that?

I live in parent´s house with 2 gardens - larger lower one and smaller upper one. The upper one is the one, where I have room with terrace. My real garden is just land without house, about 400 metres from parent´s house.

Ah, I didn't realise. That is unusual, isn't it?

What is unusual?

I think it is unusual to have a garden without a house!

I inherited it. This weekend was a bad one, as my neighbour, absolutely arrogant and agressive psychopath (whole family being in socialistic police), destroyed my apple tree and mullberry tree. He cut branches full of fruits, which were above his garden and threw it all back to my garden, destroying lot of roses and one small bush. Arrogant pig. I called police, but resolution will be as one could expect from police. Nothing will happen to him. For years he is throwing ashtray contents into my garden and cut the wire mesh. So far, yes, if you do not live there permanently, communistic posthumous children start to think, that estate is theirs.

Oh dear - that sounds very unpleasant and upsetting.
