Lovely reasons to be cheerful. How wonderful to see the Red Arrows fly overhead, what a real treat for you. The flowers both you and M bought are beautiful and the weather played nicely for sitting out and enjoying your garden.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Red Arrows three times this year either on the way to or from an airshow. That'll be the last one this year as they off to Malta now.
DeleteThe garden has given so much pleasure this year and M's new plant selection fits in perfectly. We are promised another week of good weather so fingers crossed that it's warm enough to sit outside again
Lovely reasons for being cheerful and grateful. I am really enjoying reading about your garden plans and seeing all the pretty plants and flowers. It's good to have some dates in your diary, isn't it? I hope that the week ahead will be another good one for you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. I'm glad to read that you are enjoying the garden posts because there are probably going to be quite a few of them as I plan for the next year! 😀
DeleteIt feels more like 'normal' times to have dates in the diary. It's always better for me emotionally to have something to look forward to, even if it's just one or two things.
I hope you and your daughter have a good week too. x
So nice that you feel you are making progress on the piano. If it is even half as successful as your garden endeavors, you'll eventually be a virtuoso.
ReplyDeleteVery kind words, thanks Susanne x
