I've had three rose bushes I thought had had it bloom this year. Most exciting! I love it when stuff comes back.
Crikey I hadn't thought about him being talked about in forums! Of course I have known him for years. He started fencing as a small boy. He plays bagpipes as well strangely enough for an Englishman!!![]() i only know about fencing cos i did it for my Duke of Edinburgh award thingy but my brother was super good and fenced for england when he was younger. The feeling in the thread was RIchard woz robbed!!! What was great was people were watching because of RIchard representing GB and really getting into it and saying how much they enjoyed it. Hope he feels he did well,i could be wrong but i think it's the best placing by a British Fencer at the Olympics so he did wonderfully well. |

Never grown them that haven't bloomed by now before. Perhaps these are Autumn flowering sweet peas ![]() We've just been out for a sit in the late afternoon sun. Glorious!!! My buddleia are smothered in butterflies and a dragonfly came and investigated it as well as we sat there ![]() The birdies in my ivy over the kitchen door appear to have had a THIRD lot of babies ![]() Is this a record??

Hello all, glad you're having a good Saturday and your gardens sound lovely. Still not a glimpse of blue sky here, and hasn't been for over a week, can't remember an August like it.
Not seen any Olympics (buried under tax docs) but I loved the comment the two brothers who got silver for Ireland in the rowing, re their strategy, 'not too complex. A to B as fast as you can and hope for the best. Close the eyes and pull like a dog' Now must get some dinner on. |

I am baking this morning. I bought a kilo and a quarter of nectarines from the local market yesterday for 75p!
![]() ![]() ![]() Some are past their best so I have baked them with ginger and lime and made tarts with greek honey. There is greek yogurt or creme fraice to go with. They are quite hot so be careful Planets I have a few experimental ones in the oven with feta sprinkled on! I think it will work but no promises. ETA Whoops - forgot to utilise safe storage. *checks lock is secure* TK do you know of an Irish cheese that has the look and texture of Parmasan but is not so strong. I have been buying it from Birmingham markets - delicious. Last edited by An Thropologist : 14-08-2016 at 11:41. Reason: security! |

Never grown them that haven't bloomed by now before. Perhaps these are Autumn flowering sweet peas
