No I'd never had a year without any before. It seemed really strange (nice not having to rake up piles of them tho πŸ˜„). It will probably go the other way this year and there'll be thousands. Oh well, take care.

Oh gosh have you? I have only seen an odd one this year so far. So there will be lots to come then?

I love the mahogany glow of this tree and matching cormorant

Our team had a wonderful visit to the newly re-opened Frindsbury Circus Gardens. These gardens are one of the oldest parks in the City of London, but have been closed for the last 10 years for the construction of the new Elizabeth Line.

I'm expecting lots to drop in my garden, as I didn't have any last year - it was very strange. Yes some years there's a glut and other years not. Like on fruit trees.

Thanku Pat, thats kind. I bet your pots are pretty & give you lots of pleasure. It's good to watch things grow. I would've always liked a big garden with a greenhouse & veg plot, but it never happened- and I wouldn't have been able to look after it in the last 5yrs anyway. 😁 Take care. 🌸🌼

Aw thanks Gill, very kind. I try and sit in it but then always see things to do. πŸ˜„ But then that's the joy of gardening isn't it? Take care. πŸ₯°

Thanku Mike that's very kind. I haven't been able to do much for the last 5yrs ie splitting plants, moving them, planting more, cos of long covid - but I'm picking up a bit and have managed to do some tidying. (Someone cuts the grass for me) You like to potter too then? 😁 You can't beat it can you?🌸

🚨 Trump admitted on Air Force One that Epstein used Mar-a-Lago’s spa to β€œtake” young girlsβ€”including Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide this April.

He knew.
He let it happen.
He bragged about it.

This man belongs in a courtroomβ€”not in the White House.
