You're right Shirley! And you're an early bird today, just like me . . . off for a swim now (7.30am) :))

Only an early bird due to cat with a furball ... not the best sound to wake up to at 5.45am :o(

Enjoy your swim ...

Thanks Shirley - it was gorgeous. So lucky to have a 50m outdoor pool just down the road!

Thanks Julia . . . any day now it will be strimmed, then I'll sit back and wait for the flowers to re-emerge next summer :)

That's a shame . . . yes wild flowers 'need' poor soil and preferably no grass!

It looks very pretty Sheila I've loved watching the bees on my wild flowers this year ,the Poppies are dying off first I'm slightly worried that they will seed all over the garden instead of staying on their own patch ...

Thanks Amy! I guess if they spread, you can always pull them out - but I think I'd love to have poppies everywhere :)
