I used to live in a very old cottage and the garden was lovely. With the new owner it is getting to look like yours must have been when you bought it. Sad isn't it.
Your cottage looks very picturesque.

Lovely cottage. Have you got a cottage garden to match?

The NGS MUST be a subversive group - why else would I be joining it, BB? After all, to be in a Yellow Book sounds very suspicious, doesn't it! By the way - did your therapist repeat her treatment later or had she digested enough about you?

Very good poem. You are very gifted. Know the feeling about trying to keep up. Can't look at everything. I'm trying not to feel rejected too, when I realise that some of my GOY friends have not looked at my pics. We all have the same problem. Next week I'm in Romania for a week without Internet access. Oh help how shall I survive?????? I certainly won't be able to catch up when I get back.

Thanks Bonkers for that lovely verse... From this point you are duly renamed William Bonkers Shakespeare.....we need a few rhyming couplets to brighten our days... Oh... by the way..............
I've had a nasty invasion of snails in the garden heading for my Hostas.Luckily there was no long term damage. I hope its not another nasty plot of yours.You have been very quiet of late, and I suspect subversive deeds and plots being hatched......

Thanks Bonkers - I know what you mean about gardens that have been built/designed. They often have some great features, but often seem soulless to me. They lack all those quirky little features and accidental associations that a 'natural' garden has - i.e. one that has developed over time and really reflects the owner.

Good attempt though, Bonkers! (With all your spy-ware, no infra red film?) Are you now training the bats for night infiltration missions?

These are obviously a nasty piece of work, and could be trained to be very efficient secret agents. By the way I know about these things having survived an interview by the Russian security police on one occasion.

I've got one with a lot more red on the leaves and it is also known as Chameleon, but I guess it's a different variety to yours.

Nice to get the birds in your garden. Do your cats keep away from it?

I like that. Stillife in nature. Is that your chop block by any chance? It really looks country at your place.

Lovely colours, you could stick one finger in each hole and have the flower on your hand. I've never seen them until I came to GOY.
