That's a fantastic photo! :-)

Finally remembered to upload one of the foxes (lost a little quality where I have compressed it to reduce the size of the file  :undecided: )

Yep, thieves and vandals, but beautiful! :-) 

I was lucky he was having a relax.  Managed to take a few of two of them playing too :-)

They seem to have calmed down a bit with their vandalism.  Only now and again dig up the corner of gravel around the roses.  Am wondering if they are after the bulbs - as they do unearth one or two each time?! (But then if they've left some, I guess thats unlikely!)

Just remembered our bread maker discussion.  Do you have any recipes yet?  I have some normal ones, prior to going gluten free. I can share either with you xx

Could make some and experiment?  I made some little white choc & raspberry bundt cakes recently and found I could freeze some successfully. Defrosted one on a sheet of kitchen roll, very slightly sticky but tasted good
Can get lots of inspiration on Instagram - maybe even have a go at different toppings :-)  we could have a buk bake off and get everyone baking!  :cheesy: xx

Hi,
Not a great photo by a long way BUT this is Ruth's Palm Tree which She grew for 20 years and for the very first time it has flowers!  She didn't live to see it.....She would have been so happy to finally see it flower. The gardens a bit overgrown in places but I will try and keep it tidy as much as i can do, already got someone to keep the lawns trimmed. Oh how I wish Ruth could see it even if its just a few seconds

RIP  Ruthie xx

I never knew that they flowered, how lovely 😊 and what a lovely way to remember her by.
I have to confess I don’t miss my old large overgrown garden, but if you can keep on top of it, it’s not so bad. I’ve got stone chips, three little terraces where I’ve put mum’s favourite statues ( a boy and a girl standing and a girl seated, and two little stone dogs) but I’d like to get a stone bird bath, one of the flat style, you know the ones I mean, like overgrown stone saucers, as I left the two bird baths ( pedestal style) in the old garden, I love birds, as did mum , so I’m hunting around for the bird bath, love reading about the 🦉 owl and the fox stealing your boot !!  I love the intarsias as well, pardon my ignorance but what is an intarsia? Sorry, they are lovely though xx

Wow I love the deer and even the motorcycle, that’s great that you have found something to focus on, keeping busy does help doesn’t it, you clearly have a gift with the wood turning/ carving. Mum loved her statues and would have had dozens more if dad would have let her!! 😂😂
