Hi Pixi, the garden is looking great plenty of interest, love the head on the floor, think thats where mine is most of the time ~ lost a screwdriver and a trowel in the garden today, just cant think where I put em.lol.
Janets painting is very impressive.

Great painting Janet! Brilliant water!

Photos are lovely Pixi, especially the ones of you of course! ;). We had a little bit of sunshine here today but even just the higher cloud made all the difference....'light' at last!! Going to try again for Edinburgh tomorrow to see the Art Exhibitions. :D

I do like Janet`s painting, its very good Pixi, doesn`t it make you feel better to get the sun on ones body, lol...

Thanks all :))
Oh they are awful pics of me..look all baggy eyed lol
Gave Janet a wee call there and she is happy :) and says thanks..but I didn tell here she is in it too lol hahaha

Your garden is looking lovely. I like those mirrors.
I couldn't guess what was in your pond lol.
I'm glad the sun came out for you. It's been a scorcher here :o( a bit too much this afternoon ... I had to stay in the house like when it rains lol

Thanks Kasy,,,get one..i got mine all either very cheaply or free! Just adds a new dimension to the garden..I'm not vain! lol

Lovely pics Pix. lol. I really enjoyed looking at them. Jxx

I can't see what you mean in the reflections Pixi.. But in the second one it looks like Pac Man is about to munch your head.

Thansk Jane :))
Well Pimp lol..it was jsut my own reflection I was talking about..looks mad with my pony tail flying about in the wind! lol yes pacman too hahaha omg i used to playthat all the time!

Oh and CLay..that was the fist head I did but when I put the two halves together it had missed out the ear lol..keep meaning to cut it in half and jsut have the face on the fence or something lol
and did you like the beastie?

Love the beastie..Not found his name yet, have you shown it to 7 ?

What a difference a wee bit of sun makes doesn't it Pixi...not only to the garden but to ourselves :)
Janet's picture is great - hope she doesn't see this then!
Waterlilies...Wow! Sweet peas are gorgeous! :))
Don't know what your beastie is....is it a moth? The one that comes from those black and brown furry caterpillars?

No not yet..not been on other channel yet :)
Thanks Angie :) So sunny today everything is coming to life including me lol. Idk about beasties heh..its gone now. Fond quite a few ants today..I know next door has had them over the year..I hope they havent moved to my garden!:)

LoL, love that first pic!!

Hhehe Janet is quite a character! SHe tried to hide behind the painting and i sadi ok done then took the pic lol

Brilliant blog ... Love ur garden pixi ... I must get some more mirrors! Id like a tiny wildlife pond too .. maybe something to ponder over haha ... And the painting is amazing!

thanks. Yes they certainly add a new dimension to your garden. I jsut wish the whole garden was bigger! :)

Your garden looks great, Pixi and I love the mirrors. I've been trying to get some into my garden for years but just can't seem to locate them so that they look natural somehow. Yours really work. The waterlilies are gorgeous and, yes, everything looks, and feels, better with a bit of sun.
Well done with the painting, Janet!

Thanks so much :))))))))
I told Janet today of all your lovely comments ..she blushed!

i love the mirrors too pixi i need mirrors for indoors nevermind outdoors! i like that little pot on its side is it over the pond? and you look beautiful just like your garden! :-)

I got all my mirros for next to nothing at the charity shops apart fomr the last one on the Ivy wall which i got from a scoll that was being knocked down along with a desk :) GO foraging! :))))
The little pot beside the pond has the hose from the pump in it and when its on the water ceoms out of there into the pond :)
Lol You are way too kind\! i look bedraggled ololol

haha bedraggled not heard that before gunna use that hehe! yes the pot is v.cool! oh i love a bargain but i never see mirrors in charity shops near me, will have to go further away! huddersfield is good ive heard so thats a possibility :-))

Hehe :) If they dont have any mirrors ask if they can let you know if any come in..thats what I did..i got one in my living room too in a wee alcove..it opens the space up:)
ALso I have 8 mirrors (taken off mirrored wardrobes) which I am going to put all the way up the stairs on one die..its quite dark and am hoping it will brighten it up..but thats when i get around to decorating it lol. The two wardrobes I had..one i took to bits and used the two side bits and doors to floor a bit of the loft where i go up..and the other one..when bedroom gets decorated and i get new sliding doors, will be going into the shed with shelves to store things..at the moment I have two sets od drawers but they are falling to bits lol. So recycle! Im a hoarder and keep all sorts of things lol..my daughter gets annoyed with me..but everything I have kept has found a new use :) WOw sorry i went on a bit there lolol

thats great, i am a little, i get other peoples junk passed on and usually make use for it, ive had to start clearing out though as the kids are taking up the space now obviously lol :-)

Thats what ive done most of my life Leigh :)

The Beastie has a name !!!

Plain Golden Y Autographa jota

See the two Y's one on each wing. :0)

Omg lol Pimp thanks..I forgot all about it!
Yeah but look at the top part..of pic not top of the PGYAJ it looks like a gargoyle or a devil! Anyway its long gone away..dont know where dont know when dont care..hate the beasties!

Oh gosh it does pixi lol that's cool! And pimp is too for finding it's name! :-))

Still don't know what's there. I can see your reflection, and a stone ? or something. Nothing strange though ...

It was jsut my reflection Mr Hywel lol..I jsut wondered if anyone noticed it..with my ponytail sticking up ...looks like some creature in the pond lol :))
