Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas everyone!

This year we have carpeted throughout in the best Axminster entwined with gold fleck, from Harrods. We’ve even carpeted the garden ( with the new weatherproof range) to save on mowing costs. The built in led lights add that extra sparkle and ooze affluence!

We had to have a 4th garage erected, this one for our Executive Bentley. Our chauffeur isn’t allowed to drive it so it mainly sits outside in the daytime, on show ...to make the neighbours gawp.

This year, I’ve added to my diamond and fur collection as one has to keep up appearances!

The cat swallowed my best pearls, last week and so we have had an enormous vet’s bill, hence I am not sending Christmas cards this year. 

Finally, ( and the best bit)  I have ditched my husband and I’ve run off with Selina’s

other half as Selina, suddenly and sadly ‘popped her clogs’. I’m so pleased because I inherit his initials, his name being ‘ Neville Oscar Barclay’  and placing the ‘S‘ for Sal in front, gives 

it such an appeal, don’t you think?

I hope that 2020 brings you much wealth, materialistic gains and your shares do as well as ours have!

Going to the theatre...

Gardening, every hour of every day, would be my choice...

 ....was I allowed to have such a choice!

My garden is a country garden, where any plant or animal  is allowed to

do what it likes...(or any other creature.....)

...within reason!

                           So here we are; smack bang in the middle of the springtime ...

                           and, oh my goodness, what a show we have!

   

                        It's almost as good as the West End...and a darn sight cheaper!!

 
                                          And, of course, it's right on my doorstep...

                                          no travelling costs to consider!

I delight in seeing what the natural world throws at me, day after day...

month after month...

...year after year.

And this springtime is a real beauty!

You would be forgiven for thinking that these are not tulips (below)!

They are huge!

(When I think back to the autumn, I can't recall even buying them!)

                   
                            And the Narcissi are completely out of place, really...

                           planted in the veg trug, which I don't use as a veg trug

                           but as a herb trug! That's me all over!

                           I never stick to rules when I'm in the garden!!

And talking of ponds (which we weren't!)

I have two container ponds...

But...watch this space because we are in the process

 of adding a 'proper wildlife pond '

to our garden!!  This is so exciting! 

Meanwhile, back to Erysimum...the most 

dependable plant that I know...flowering 

on and on and on and on and on...

                                    Honesty and friends, grown in an old dustbin

                                    once belonging to my mum and dad.

                               And a new addition on Mothering Sunday, from Nich..

                                                             Clematis 'Avalanche'.

                                               
                                              Along with this beauty from Helen.

So...that's it!

I've resurrected my blog!

And tomorrow, I'm off to another theatre!!

One where the performers wear yellow... and,

hopefully, will do as well as all of those in my garden!!

Happy Springtime!
