My Winter Treasures

Chinese Rose and Christmas Cacti 

These two little plants never let me down, taking care of them during the year really pays off.

Since all has died down in the garden it's good to see a bit of colour.

Have a Great Week

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. 

July brings...

My Beautiful Coral Roses 

Hiding under the undergrowth I discovered a Astilbe , creamy little flowers. The Beautiful Hydie's every July
Lovely pale Blue. It's nearly the end of the month , so I hope August brings more Blooms. It's been a mixed month weather wise, with heavy rain and Sunshine and warm weather towards the end of the Month.
Have a Lovely Weekend and hope the Sun is shining today . If not just enjoy what ever the weather.

A Few Blooms

Just to say have a great Weekend .Here is a few 

Blooms in and around the Garden April, May and June. Second from bottom is the bit I tidied up which quickly  transforms with yellow Roses and Yellow Flowers at the base. 

Catch you Later..

Those Magpies ....

We have two younger's here in the garden , I can tell they are young as they have no tails. I think this is one bird that I don't really care for , especially this time of year. They stay together and seek out nice nest's , need I say more. You can always tell when they are on the prowl , by that high pitched noise they make. 
These species are widespread not only in Europe but also in Asia and North America.
Their diet consists of mice, field mice, insect's , as well as berries and seeds. Well enough said on these birds. 
The weather here  is set  to be warm and Sunny for the rest of the week. Giving me plenty of dry weather to get the garden tidied up , here and there. Oh and yes the Bungalow is being painted white on the outside this week. So two hard working local guy's highly recommended have started this week. They turn up 8 30am prompt every morning, and finish at 5pm. It's looking good , I will take a few pictures when it's completed. I have just to mention this , they are two retired Firemen....

Well I hope this finds you all well and hope you all have a Lovely week. Just have to do a bit of catching up to see  what you've all been up to. As you can see the Rhodies are almost in full bloom now. Adding a bit of colour happy to say. 

Wile-e (Through is Eye's)

Yawn!! It's time this rain gave up the ghost, will it ever stop I say. I was just lying here looking out of the window and thinking about those lovely people who showed up a few weeks ago. I got so excited and they where pleased to see me to, and gave me lots of strokes on my head. I was even given cake just love mum's cake , but this was just a tasty. Bye they gone now where I don't know. Shucks!

I noticed mum the other day holding her head between her hands, and so looked up at her till she took notice of me. She turned and started chatting to me I listened to every word , my eyebrows going from side to side. Trying to piece it together mm not sure but sounded to me to be in a lower tone of voice. Mum got up and looked out of the Window and looked up to the sky, a bit of blue. Come on Wile-e she shouted yes I'm I'm here , come on then. As we walked around the Pond we noticed those tiny little black things (Moorhen's) being fed by mum and dad. That's Nature I guess...Woof Woof bye for now Folks. One happy little dog trots off with his mum..

Wile-e Through His Eye's

Love this warmer dry weather 

Mum lets me off the lead and I have a lovely breathtaking run around the Pond. Once that lead comes off there is no stopping me Woosh.............I'm off. FREEDOM  YAHOOO ! In fact When in full sprint I can't come to a halt just like that , I just carry on till I'm out of breath. Fantastic. But it's back to dull chilly day's so I'm not so keen I always  take a good look outside first, on the top step to see if it's not Wet!! that's it I won't budge , Mum calls me a big softy . Who me , no it's just I don't like it too soft under foot . 

A very nice Lady came to stay a a year ago, 3weeks ago  actually mum says. Oh my she brought me some lovely little Gravy Biscuits  Yummy , so I guess every time someone comes in through that door , Well there must be something in that big bag thing for me... Right mmm.  Well mum is getting her coat on I just heard  that Zip go up on her coat , and that's my Q . A walk up to the Farm oh goody I might just see my little chum , the Highland Terrier. I tell you she is so cute , Catch you Later .

Happy Easter Everyone Woof Woof
