September




I travelled by car to visit my sister , outer London 210 miles one way. It was a good journey yet quite busy on the roads funny enough. This time of year it tends to be much quieter on that route. My sister and hubby where planning a short break , so asked me if I would look after their pets. Consisting of one African Parrot, 3 gold fish, 2 tiny hamsters oh and Poppy one slightly over weight Terrier/ cross. Rather spoilt so was wondering how she would behave with me... Well I needn't have worried one iota , we got on very well .
The weather stayed quite pleasant that week, as on returning it changed for the worst.

My Begonia are doing very well they just keep on and on, above lovely red. 
I am in the middle of planting Daffodil bulb's around the perimeter . It just came to me don't know why I didn't think of it before. So lots and lots of bulb's to go in yet, planted around 40 so far, mixed variety's . I purchased a tool with a long handle so I wouldn't have to do so much bending , wonderful. Makes all the difference . 
The pink plant was given to me by my sister , very pretty and also doing well in the conservatory. A primrose I do believe.

Thank you for your visits and your warm thoughts much appreciated . Have a lovely week looks to be a wet one here with sunny spells.

Oh the last picture was a visit I made to A local Pony Sanctuary , it was a Beautiful day earlier this year.
