This morning I wandered round the garden with camera and crutch, but no perch. I began with the patio, and its hanging baskets and planters. The bed and breakfast sign was a Christmas present from Becky and Ian; the basket at its base, Jacqueline’s birthday present to Jackie.
From there I walked along the Kitchen Path,
taking the Brick Path to the far end of the garden,
and round to the Rose Garden,
where Jackie, who spent the whole day on general maintenance, including much weeding, sweeping, and raking, went to great pains to make this area, on which she had been working, presentable for the camera.
The football World Cup has nudged Bargain Hunt off the TV schedules. This meant that I could not take my usual fix for a post-prandial snooze. So I opted for the match between Egypt and Uruguay. This fitted the bill perfectly.
This evening we dined on succulent pork chops, tasty gravy, new potatoes, runner beans, and crunchy carrots.
Treasure that garden Derrick. It is paradise.
I do, I do. Many thanks, Drew
LOL
Wonderful garden !!!!!!
Thanks very much, Efi
It sounds like you will soon be running round the mulberry bush with the excellent progress you are making. Do ask a doctor before you start any heavy digging though!!
Thanks very much, John. I might leave that to Aaron
What that woman does for you!! Treasure her Derrick – I know you do!!
🙂 Actually it was her gardener’s pride! Thanks a lot, Pauline X
Nice photos as always Derrick. Have a nice weekend
Thanks a lot, Gary. You, too
The garden looks most floriferous. World Cup watching happening on this side of the world too!
Thanks a lot, Jane.
I’m glad it all seems lovely and that you seem to be coming along. Good for you both.
Thanks very much, Donnalee
Really great photos!

Your flowering garden is looking beautiful Derrick, and how did you go on your crutch after the extra activity and taking all those lovely photos
A bit painful the rest of the day, Ivor, but no after effects this morning. Many thanks
That’s great Derrick, well done
Well Jackie, as we know, is a superstar. The question is, does Gareth Southgate need a new sweeper?
🙂 Chuckleworthy, Mike. Many thanks
