For Hywel, Clematis Sieboldii

That is a very attractive clematis Sheila, and fancy some missing out on the purple. You know, I have Clem Niobe and this year lots of the purple petals have stayed green, it's never happened in other years.

Oh he's lovely, he looks like you..:))

Lovely little boy( he was)! Can we see him at 50? Nice Clem too, interesting variation in the flowers.

Thank you Janey. That’s strange about your Clem.

Well, most people say that Mike and OH are very alike, but I do have chubby cheeks, ha ha. A neighbour at the time said “If I could have one like that I’d have another!” Bless him.

Thanks Feverfew, Ok, I will find another pic 🙂.

Don't know if it was me but mine certainly did that but I lost it years ago. I might be tempted with another if we get access to the old drive way that runs down the back of our home.

handsome lad. where does the time go though?

How strange, I've never seen that happen to mine. I hope it does :)
Thanks for showing it.

Nice to see the three of you together …
the photo of your son as a little boy is sideways on my computer but the right way up on my laptop … that's very strange too.

Thanks Hywel.

The orientation of the pic of Mike is what happens to me too! Because the photo is “portrait” I turned the camera sideways and this is what happens ... I think to other Goyers too

It must be my computer. It's the right way up on my laptop :)

Lovely photo Sheila, your Mike is certainly very handsome!

Thanks Janey 🙂.

Lovely clematis, Sheila, I do like the colour! Also, lovely pic of you and your husband and son. I’m joining the ‘50’ club later in the year :-D

Many thanks Kate ... I love it too. I wonder how you’ll celebrate? On my 50th my husband said we were going out for lunch - in Geneva! (and forgot the time difference, so we took our table in the restaurant at 11.30!). 🙂🙂.

A very unusual clematis I like that.

What a handsome chap and a bonnie baby x

Thanks Julia ...

Aren’t we all ageing well, ha ha 🙂.

He's grown into a handsome chap, I hope he is still happily married. Lovely photo of you all.It's really nice to see what
GoY members look like. Thank you for posting this pic.

Thanks Ff ... yes, Mike is very happily married to Gabriella, who is lovely, and their girls are adorable - Chiara, 9, and Frankie (Francesca), 6. He loves being a dad, and is looking forward to them baking a cake for him next week.

What a delightful family photograph........and the clematis is pretty good too....

Thanks Angela 🙂
