Liz - my laptop (mobile broadband) can take a while to download some of the larger files. I always try to remember to make my photos smaller before posting.  There are a few ways of doing this - I use Microsoft Picture Manager to resize mine.  Geoff (Sotongeoff) is your man if any of you need "talking through" the other ways of resizing pictures

Best and worst

My favourite job is planting out something I have grown from a cutting or from seed - "plants for free" is my motto .  My worst job has to be getting rid of those ever present brambles - I never seem to win that fight without injury!

I love seeing everyone's photos and hope this thread keeps going!  Here are some pictures I took this morning:

The ever increasing purple crocus patch

 Tete-a-tete daffs from the pound shop

 Hellebore from a plant sale so don't know which one it is!

 My "woodland" - a work in progress!!

Afternoon all - what a busy few days it's been!  OH offered to do some more lopping with new gadget so had to show willing and help dispose of mound of branches which  covered the lawn.  Little Archie dog has now gone back home so at least didn't have to do "walkies" today.  Watching rugby now and trying to catch up with the chat here.  Weather been quite nice here today so managed to take some photos to put on the gallery thread.  Becks - you've got a lovely blank canvas there - enjoy your planning .  I got some lovely gardening books from the library today - just like looking at the pictures for inspiration.  BJay - broken the bed?? will have to check how that happened

Making a cup of tea and a hot cross bun(ny) 

I'm with you on the rants BJay - a) I can't be bothered and b) if I did rant I would only end up feeling angrier than when I started.  Writing rants takes too long and doesn't feel the same as saying them.
