Navy blue, my dress is green will that be ok?

Will this clash with the brides wellies?-it is not good protocol to upstage so I believe.

My Granny always used to say blue and green should never be seen.

Yummy figrat, can you send some over when it is ready.

Surely the bride will wear white wellies, so do I need to buy new wellies?

I fell you need to be colour co-ordinated- what colour are the rest of the family wearing?

Oh my three sons grew up on Lemon drizzle cake! That and family lasagne.

Drizzle in the garden constantly today, I have a bomb crater in my middle garden and the ugly Pampas beast is no more. I thanked it for its contribution over the years to my privacy and the neighbourhood birds' nests, and the mountain of compost it leaves in its wake. The ground is concave, the memory of sun shine is fading and my muscles hurt but here's to the future.

So glad I did all the compost malarkey yesterday, amazing how the energy levels go up when the sun shines isn't it? Just been for a potter downtown to get stuff for the great bake off, so cold!!! it's May and I've got my thermals back on. Haven't lifted the lid on the cold frame today, all stuff in the greenhouse looking very bored.

I had to wear my thermals for my walk to the polling station, I did consider going to buy cake but I was good

Wintersong just wondering if they were still at the football in your garden stage, they all sound a credit to you.

Not a football or trampoline in sight
