His mum's side of the family certainly have the dark good looks for it!<br /><br />Wishing you all the best for the week aheadSianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-38709378585422191322017-04-24T20:50:39.812+01:002017-04-24T20:50:39.812+01:00The DNA thing is interesting - I've seen them ...The DNA thing is interesting - I've seen them advertised but don't know anyone who's done one (till now). Hope your day worked out as planned. Did the rain come? I went out for a quick walk this eve and didn't wear a coat in the hope that sod's law would kick in - but it didn't. So still no rain and the earth is like concrete.Lady Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050899813793376037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-43981478251605936062017-04-24T19:13:03.442+01:002017-04-24T19:13:03.442+01:00Wow, that above comment grabbed me with the "...Wow, that above comment grabbed me with the "pee gravel" ... ha ha! <br />I do the same thing as you with laying out the new plants before actually putting them in the ground. Mostly I just make sure the lighting is right and there is actually a spot big enough ;) <br />Your ancestry search sounds rather interesting. Personally I have never had any interest in discovering more of my family (and my family is very small). I know my dad's family all lived in England & Australia, and my mom's family came from Ireland originally, but many generations of Canadian now. That's good enough for me. I've not heard of this DNA search technique, but I find that quite fascinating. <br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-41234506812297396092017-04-24T18:48:13.825+01:002017-04-24T18:48:13.825+01:00remember that cats love pea shingle.

A neighbour thought he was doing good when he laid a membrane over the path in the alley at the back of our houses and covered it with pea shingle. Every cat in a five mile radius came to use the big free lavatory and because dear neighbour had put a membrane down the liquid collected and then summer arrived and so did the flies and the smell was just............. retch making.

I walked around my garden yesterday & thought oh I have made so many planting mistakes, I would like to start again. (col).

It should be back sometime next month. We put out some pots with pansies since they can withstand the wide temperature variations this time of year. I'm happy to see the color in the yard and on the patio again.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510788797735066383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-84591097907953205852017-04-24T11:17:23.892+01:002017-04-24T11:17:23.892+01:00New garden planting is always exciting.

I must get back to some more ancestry but I think it may have to wait until the winter.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013731736768963395noreply@blogger.com
