Just decided to take a wee break away from here..with all that went on..found it a bit upsetting..but I have been busy doing other things and not on the net so much. I had a virus last week and thought I would never get this thing back up and running..but I did it!
Not been in the garden much either..its not looking too bad but the rain has spoiled a lot of plants this year.
Just putting this pic on..does anyone know what this is? I think its a wild flower or maybe a weed lol, but I quite like it.
Hope everyone is well..one day will catch up with everything and I apologise for not having the time to comment on all your blogs
Take care

29 Aug, 2012

 

Glad your ok Pixi, i missed you too :-)

29 Aug, 2012

 

Hi Pix.....computer virus or you?!
I think that's a wild flower...in the wrong place as they say!

29 Aug, 2012

 

Great to see you Pixi..nice flower,but I've no idea what it is ..you will soon catch up,so something to do on a wet miserable day..like today here ! ..hope Suki is well.:o)xx

Hello and welcome back, think we were all feeling the same :(
Pretty blue mix there. .

29 Aug, 2012

 

I think a lot of us felt the same way Pixi, its been very quiet on here lately, and I don't come on as much as I used to. Found other things to do as well. After all the bad weather, when we get a nice day we are all outside.
Can't help with the name of the flower but it is quite pretty isnt it.

29 Aug, 2012

 

Hi Pixi. I'm glad to hear you're all right.
I don't like coming on here any more myself. I don't do it so much now.

29 Aug, 2012

 

Hi Pixi, I guess I`ve missed something along the way, I wondered where you were, good to see you back though, can`t help with naming the flower but its pretty anyway.
Its chucking it down here so housework and Goy on the menu today, hubby, son-in-law and grandson gone fishing for the first time this year so very disappointing all round...

29 Aug, 2012

 

Glad you are back Pixi. :o)

29 Aug, 2012

 

Same here but I find I miss everyone..........

29 Aug, 2012

 

Good to see you Pixi, and thanks for your mail

29 Aug, 2012

 

Ask Bulbaholic - he will know what it is. I have seen them but cant remember where !

29 Aug, 2012

 

Welcome back hen, you've been missed xx :)) Was just thinking about sending a search party over the bridge for you Pixi ;)
I hope your computer is all better now - they are ok so long as they are working, eh!!
Had noticed it was very quiet on here lately - obviously what ever happened passed me by but I did notice some folks are no longer members.
I've been busy decorating the house so haven't spent much time on here either. Looking foward to hearing all your news :) xx
I can't help with an id for your plant but I do think that the leaves look kind of nettle looking in shape.

29 Aug, 2012

 

I'm pretty sure it's an Agastache Pixi. Does the leaf have a lovely, almost aniseed aroma when rubbed? I love these, they are super and the bees love them too. I must have missed something nasty going on.....glad I missed it! :D Take care x

29 Aug, 2012

 

glad to see you back Pixie, I think a lot of us has felt like you the past few weeks, not coming on so much.

29 Aug, 2012

 

Welcome back, agree with KS looks like an Agastache :o)

29 Aug, 2012

 

Agastache is what I thought too, Pixi. Lucky you if it is, they're lovely. Very glad to see you back.

29 Aug, 2012

 

Hello Pixie - just take your time:) Nice to see you back:)

29 Aug, 2012

 

I think the recent happenings on here upset a lot of people. Nice to see you back anyway. X

29 Aug, 2012

 

Thanks all! and thanks for naming my plant..it looks so pretty so even it it was a weed I would have left it.
I dont think I will be on as much as before tho, things have changed. Anyway I am decorating the bedroom jsut now..well jsut about to start stripping wallpaper off! thanks for all your lovely comments xxx

So sad you won't be around much any more Pixi :o(
... very sad ...

31 Aug, 2012

 

Glad you're still around Pixi, still lots of nice people on here too:-)

31 Aug, 2012

 

You could come and help me strip Mr Hywel! lol :) i will be in from time to time dear :)))

31 Aug, 2012

 

oo er,Pixi..Lol :o))

31 Aug, 2012

 

I don`t know whats happened but all of a sudden things do seem to have changed, I was only missing for a while due to holidays and being busy in the home but noticed an absence of some members, I feel the same as Hywel on this one....

31 Aug, 2012

 

I wondered where you were Pixie - nice to see you around again. Never look back, and let bygones be byegones.

You dont want to know Lincs :)
I dont hold grudges or anything SG but there is definitely an atmosphere in here..its just not the same now. :(

2 Sep, 2012

 

Lets hope it changes soon, many toys have been thrown out of prams in the past and we have recovered, I`m going to blame the weather and the moon cycles, all these things have had a diverse effect on us gardeners this year both inside and out, lol...

2 Sep, 2012

 

True Lincs......who would have thought 51/2c in august......its certainly been a year for breaking records. :0(((

2 Sep, 2012

 

I am a little confused. I think everyone I have added has been just lovely? but maybe I am wrong (and truthfully I would want to know). I have noticed people missing and it feels odd/sad and lovely when they return. Can we not all stick together and ignore/flag the nasty peeps. As someone said the trouble maker has been making offensive remarks about other GOY members, can we just get rid????? or am I being naive here??. All for one and one for all ????? :o( x

2 Sep, 2012

 

Pam I still have a very confused garden, I have Primulas and Wallflowers coming out now, some flowers already gone over and others in their stride and loving this weather as are most of my shrubs, my cucumbers still very green and healthy and producing more babes and toms are going mad this year and showing no signs of slowing down..
N3tyy the way forward is to make up your own mind, I enjoy Goy and have stayed with it over the years but every now and again a spanner gets thrown in the works, carry on enjoying it and hopefully we will soon be back to our usual, happy selves, lets face it a gardener is never happier than when sorting out our own patch, grubs, weeds and all included, lol....

2 Sep, 2012

 

Thanks Lincs, that's why I posted my question, not knowing is not knowing how to make my decision. I suppose getting on as if nothing happened (as clearly I haven't got a clue) is the way forward. Just sad that on such a lovely site there is such sadness )o: (o:

3 Sep, 2012

 

I'm so pleased to see you are still around, Pixi. I did miss you. I have been trying to keep up an attendance record of sorts, but you're right - it isn't the same, lovely, funny, friendly site it used to be, and I don't feel at home here so much any more.

8 Sep, 2012

 

I think many of us feel the same way, but at least we can enjoy our gardens during the welcome spell of sunshine. Today has been a perfect day in that respect.

8 Sep, 2012

 

What an amazing day it has been today T.bear. I love this time of year.

8 Sep, 2012

 

September and October are my favourite months. April and May aren't far behind.

9 Sep, 2012

 

Gatt, its been just beautiful here this week, hot sunny days and nice cool evenings and as we always try to breakfast out in the garden the sun is warm but the air cool, perfect (for me).

9 Sep, 2012

 

It's pretty much the same here, GM, and I just love it. Why can't the rest of the year be the same?

9 Sep, 2012

 

Gatt. We wish. x

18 Sep, 2012

 

Hi TT :) Not bad..had a fall last week and banged my head so now i have concussion! silly me x
Suki is out lying in the sun..yes sun! lol

18 Sep, 2012

 

Not the best kind of 'head banging' Pixi..but i hope you are feeling much better now..take care :o) x

18 Sep, 2012

 

I hope you feel better soon Pixi ..

18 Sep, 2012
