Evening all; now popping back to catch up on all your news.
MaryGK: Alaska ferries are definitely for folks who are happy to rough it, sort of. I wouldn't mind it if I knew I had a comfy hotel near the dock.
BrendaH: Good luck looking for the jacket to go with that dress. Thanks for news of Margo and OH's doings - great to know they're enjoying themselves.
Heather: Don't think my OH would worry about my disposing of kitchen stuff; on the other hand the garage (which he also doesn't frequent) might be harder to clean out. Chocolate teapot? :-)) Cornish pasties - yum yum.
Rosy: Daughter has always had a menagerie (pigs, goats, peacock, horses, dogs, etc.) now it's horses, ducks, dog and floppy-eared bunny. I just have her ancient cat which caught one bird yesterday and two today! Pesky puss. :-(
Hi to everyone else.
Here are the pictures I mentioned: especially for Brenda!!
There were a lot of people admiring this, isn't it beautiful?
~ yours for only 25 thousand pounds!
Annette might like this:
More wood carving:
Lindybird: Plant sculpture a bit over the top, but hey, it would be drought resistant, right? I wonder who buys 25K pound horses or larger than life owls and eagles....
Heather: Watch out for anything with a sharp edge while you're busy organizing.
Off to change the world....
probably the best day so far. A short spell in the garden was enough.
Lindybird, I do like the agapanthus, but not sure where I could put it!
A little conspicuous! Do you remember the price?
A striking bit of art, Rosy. Think you'd need a Stately Home to have room for it! Can't remember the price, sorry.
Annette - I was only joking :-) It's a bit large!
More pics..... more gardens.....These are restful ones: The 1st one is called "Waiting Room" and is going to be reinstalled at a Cancer Treatment Centre, later.
Awaiting Chauffeur Friend to collect me for a photo excursion. I've promised lunch at Murattis. They do have healthy quiche, frittata, etc as well as the decadent desserts. Blue sky, no sign of the Weather Man's rain. A bit nippy, overnight min was 3.9 C.
PS. I want that horse for my garden. He would fit nicely on front lawn.
Lindybird: I figure you were kidding me.
Rosy: Thanks for jogging my memory - agapanthus!
AQ: Hope you enjoyed lunch. I'm sure Lindybird could put you in touch with the horse sculpture person.
Did not manage to change the world today, though did remove a dying lavender bush, sorted a disgruntled rockrose and spoke sternly to a rambunctious raphiolepsis. Off to see daughter tomorrow; so world will have to wait.
