A brief mardle!!

Well those of you who have been to Norfolk will know that a mardle is just something you do when you chat about nothing in particular!
I could have gone to the local horse trials as a VIP…in the rain – not funny! So, rugby is on TV (to keep Alan entertained) and I thought i’d just have a mardle!
Don’t you just hate it when it’s cold and wet – I’ve even got the heating on…however last week in the hot sun I wandered around the garden with my camera..so here’s something to wet your appetite for summer days…
A couple of years ago I threw some aquilegia seeds (from my patio plants) over the low wall of my patio..I was so disappointed when all I got was loads of leaves last year. But I persisted and refused to pull them out…just in case. But look what happened this year….

So this year they have been so beautiful that we have gone a bit aquilegia-tastic!!! (just a word I made up :0))

we also put some of the seeds in pots in a shaded area under the carport – where we sit on wet evening with a glass of wine…or two

The local garden centre has (whoops – had!) a beautiful new one…Spitfire, which Alan couldn’t resist – I came home from work one day and there it was sitting proudly on the patio..

Well there you go …that’s my mardle done – except to show you the lovely buttercups in my lawn…or they were until Alan cut it!!
