I have been down the allotment this week and took some photos of the dahlias down there.

I am very sore with my lower back and good old RA is rearing its ugly head in my hands.xxx

It’s lovely to hear from you Sylvi, I hope you’re recovering well from your heart surgery. The dahlia is beautiful. I hope you’re coping with the heat.

So beautiful Sylvi, and well done getting down the plot. I know you've had a tough time. I don't know about you, but I always feel a bit better even if I just go and sit on the plot.

Beautiful dahlias Sylvi. So cheering. Must be lovely for you to get back to the allotment and meet the other allotment holders. Hope your back perks up soon and as for the RA, well along with the back pain it’s one of those things that just doesn’t know when it isn’t wanted. 🌷🌺🪻🥀🌹🌸🌼🌻☀️

Beautiful Sylvi! Glad you're getting there at last. I love the sunshine but the humidity doesn't help our aches and pains does it. Xxx

Another one here , who suffers with RA popping up with the hot weather . Getting a little tired of people suggesting how much better my RA must be in this lovely weather . I can tell by the look on their face , when I try to explain , that they don't really get it .

It helps my sister's fibromyalgia but she's the same as me her osteoarthritis flares in the humidity. I have RA too so my osteo and RA flare.

Moi aussi et maintenant je pense avoir trouvé pourquoi. Quand il fait chaud les veines se dilatent et le sang exerce aussi une pression sur nos os, l'inflammation augmente et on a encore plus mal.

You don't get it until you get and then the realisation comes and the understanding as well. How do you explain to people the problems you go through when you can't understand it yourself half the time. Thank you all for your lovely comments.xxxxx

Thank you for the photos of your dhalias Sylvi. They are wonderful - just like you! I am struggling with back pain this week also - that combined with my eldest daughter turning 17 today is making me feel very old indeed! First driving lesson today - eeek! 😧 xx

Sorry to hear that you are in the sore back club also! You win the eldest child competition as well, but obviously you were a child bride so definitely not Grandma Moses! xx
