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!!

Not heard that word for many years! My maternal Grandparents were from Thetford, nr. Diss and never lost their accent, despite living in Sussex for 60 years. Beautiful Aquilegias, my favourite flower. Sunshine tomorrow is forecast. : o ) ) )
