My first time to try to attach a photo, having just stood in the rain outside so fresh and cool. Made me forget my worries for a few valuable moments.
Take care all

They’re lovely Sops!!!!
I don’t know about you guys, but our flowers are looking better at the moment than what they did in the summer! Think it was so hot for them!

Beautiful flowers thank you for sharing. Have a great day and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxx
Looking good, Sops. I like your paved area and it really sets your pots off. Hopefully you will have flowers to enjoy until they frost comes. The rose looks lovely too. What is the large shrub in the background with the pale green/grey leaves?
Hi, I admit i don't know. It is huge and feathery.? Will e -mail my gardening friend who is the fount of all, ,and get back to you.
My garden is a fair size, and i have made it into different areas, i have lived here for 37 years, and acquired a strip of garden back when new neighbours noticed the boundary was sited incorrectly. That tree was half in their garden so they chopped their section down, do not like trees,,, and i thought mine would die but it flourished as you can see. I cut part of it to make an umbrella for when i use my barbecue, and have shade- loving plants underneath.

That’s a lovely picture. Thank you for sharing. I can see how it would take away your worries for a while 😊
Thank. You
gardening for flowers and vegetables kept me occupied through shielding I feel much better when breathing outside, and can practice my singing with only the birds to criticise, clearly not going to perform anywhere in 2020..

Nice photo....rain is so needed for lots of our gardens in the south. I used to love standing in the rain, not so much now 🤣
I live on the edge of the Cotswolds, its high and we have cold winds although the sun shines a lot . i have not had much rain this summer, and today is warm and sunny so i am out planting bulbs.
Take care,Sopsx
I love being outside too. Have fun planting your bulbs.
Lovely part if the country by the way x
Yes I like it. My son lives in Cardiff, and my daughter is a milliner 12 miles from my house.
Sopsx
Wow how unusual to be a milliner , does she make them for you? x
She is a couture milliner and very skilled, trains in Paris, she was invited to the royal enclosure at Ascot last year, and I was to attend a rather nice wedding in Hampstead, so we bought a dress between us and she made a beautiful hat which we both wore. It worked well both in looks and purse!
The wedding trade are all self employed and have not been funded soI am unsure how long she can continue. We will have to wait and see. She was on instagram all last week doing a series of talks about life as a milliner and has a blog.
Sopsx
That's sounds wonderful. I hope that all these small businesses will all pick up again soon, but it all looks so gloomy.
You must be very proud of her. Would have loved to have seen the hat.
Take care x
Input Lucy Bowler milliner and when the site opens it is the first hat that you see, pale pink with flowers. We bought a Bombshell ( my favourite site) pink silk retro shirtwaister dress, our handbag was from Lucys collection but unfortunately she has bigger feet than me !
Sopsx
Stunning.....is that your daughter modelling the hats, she is stunning as well. Thank you for sharing with me x
No that is a model that Lucy employs, she also used uses a dishy Italian photographer who took that shot. Lucy is older and often does model her hats..
We are very alike and my friend was telling me this morning that she listened to Lucy’s Instagram blog whilst cooking and thought it was me.
She is really kind and works so hard to get the correct ‘look’, i remember one lady having a fab outfit and hat, but never wore makeup, Lucy drove to John Lewis and bought her a Chanel lipstick and mascara, and she loved it when Lucy applied, and has worn it ever since.
Glad you liked the hat, Sopsx
She sound amazing, you must be very proud of her. I looked through her website and she is indeed a very clever and takented girl x
Very pretty Sops . xx 😁👋
Lovely garden! I like the tiles as well.
That brightened my morning seeing your beautiful flowers. Such a shame we have the dreaded Winter ahead and the flowers will disappear. Beautiful photo xxSheila 😱🥰🌻🌷🥀🌾🌿🍃💐
Thank you. I have never done this before, but if you go to post/write, and after writing press add photo, amazing and it works,
i had to add photos of 2 pieces of ID to an e-mail last week for an insurance company ,took me all afternoon
.i would love to see your picture,
Take care Sopsx
Lovely Garden ! I have been doing the same trying to hold on to the beauty of the Summer Garden , still got a hanging basket that hasn’t given up !!! X
Thank you. You have done so well to still have a hanging basket, I lost mine in the heat when it reached 34 degrees.probably killed with kindness ( and too much water).
Take care Sops
Yes , but can’t take the credit , it’s my husband that is the Gardener!!! Have tried to take a photo , following the instructions on the previous post , but the option for photo or the camera icon does not come up..,...... Xxx
You are lucky, I live on my own so its very hard work. When we bought our house my late husband declared that gardens were for sitting in with a gin and tonic, and he did not change his mind.
Sopsx
You have done really well and your garden is lovely ! Yes I know I am lucky and am very appreciative of his efforts, we have had a lovely Spring / Summer in the Garden and there is always work to do , but he loves to sit down at the end of the day with a Gin & Tonic in the Garden!!! Take care xx
Sensible man, i hope you sit down too and admire.
Sopsx
Yes I do , but without the Gin & Tonic !!! 😃
Excellent. I prefer a cappuccino. Its glorious here today, cold but sunny and bright
Sopsx
Oh lovely! It’s cold here also but the Sun is trying to push through, it’s been a week of 2 halves - Sun dress Monday and Tuesday, jumpers and cardigans the rest of the week!!! 💐x
Def, cardigans and fleeces here, the wind has a bite although from in my kitchen looking out its lovely.
Am midst battle with Next and waiting for a call from them, ordered a pink jumper yesterday which turns out to be orange, so trying to sort out. Could take some time...enjoy your weekend,
Sopsx
Thanks for sharing Sops. Lovely garden. x Anita
Thank you Anita, just gathered my bulbs to plant and it is now pouring with rain. Thats one thing about this staying at home, there is always time if you move it around!
Take care, Sopsx
Lovely photo. I am better outdoors too. Hailstones liverpool 1 pm. Sunshine now. Xx
Well done , great photo , nice garden.
Thank you, I enjoy being outside and have ventured into growing vegetables as well this year, keeps me occupied,
Sopsx
Looks so pretty 🐞
Its not just a garden, its a haven. Its so nice to see so many lovely gardens on here. I wish I knew how to attach a photograph to show mine. I'm not good with technology.
Lovely photo Sops and so colourful, the garden is hard work but so worth it. I live on my own as well so know what you mean x
Yep, have been up the ladder this morning picking cooking apples, its a constant battle between me and the squirrels. I was a bit wobbly as the ladder was resting on the lawn, and i did think oops, no one would know if i fell off! But needs must,.. have just cleared my old veggie plants away , it is never a dull moment...
Take care and than you, sopsx
