I have a similar one Aster it has purple flowers, lovely foliage isn't it? The pansies complement it very well

Fantastic poppies, lest we forget

Aw lovely Robin, seen one in my garden today too quick for me though!

Lovely blog what a variety!!

Aw poor Puss! glad he's on the mend Jacque, well done daughter what a blessing they are!

I feel for you Gilli where we lived before here our neighbour turned out to be a bully nasty man, it was a shared driveway (never never never again) and he abused his right over our land left right and centre, horrible man made my life a misery, even ended up in court and outside the courtroom his lawyer told him he wouldn't win so he ended up settling out of court!!!! Stupid man he could have done that months before, now where we live we have wonderful neighbours, friendly but not intrusive, in fact this bit of the street is like its own little community and i never want them to move!!!
i know how hard it is to ignore these bullies Gilli our solicitor kept saying don't retaliate keep a diary etc., etc., but its hard!!

Oh thats fantastic, cheered me up no end!! Suits you Truffle!!

Great photo Janey, look good on a Christmas card!

thats lovely nice to have flowers this time of year too, will look out for this one!

Beautiful photo Jacque do you know the variety please?

I love snapdragons, my daughter loved when she was little squeezing the sides of the flower so the 'mouth opened' lol, i have a lot of self set ones of all colours, from white to deep maroon. lovely plants

I have a Great Uncle who died aged 17 he is also on Thiepval memorial, he has no grave and my Great Grandmother always wondered what had happened to him not knowing must have been so hard, i am a family history freak and have done a lot on the family, interesting hobby i love to hear the stories of families long past. I shall not forget

Also had experience recently with our Toffee, he went missing for 4 days out of character, daughter did some posters on the computer and poster them to neighbours (including the ones that back onto us) see my blog 'Toffees Secret Life', he suddenly appeared on the fourth day very dusty thin and starving!! I think he was locked in somewhere, i don hope yours has a happy ending too Mavis, do let us know won't you?

Thinking of you Lincslass, love and peace xx

Well done catching him in the act!!!

thanks Di and Winnie! Am missing him this evening hubby not but i am!!!

Have you loaded the disc that comes with the phone drc?

Lovely blog Donnah, and i'm going to try the Asda coconut stuff!!!!

Oh just reread your question....delete comment above lol!!

Its not a Eucalyptus is it?

yes course you can Tusalady, i have had a lot of support from this website and family and friends, everyone understands why we returned him, such a shame but the home can only go on what information they are given i guess, most of the workers there are women and it was a woman looking after him and she said how lovely he was, well he was with me i could do anything with him but not so my husband or daughter. It was not meant to be but we are still looking and not going to rush into anything just yet, doing some more reseach into breeds and rescue dogs.

thanks everyone, makes me feel a bit better, he is already back on their website and they have taken into account my observations and written a new story for him, i hope he finds a nice lady to look after him.

I don't know TT, i did ask but they didn't know the owners address, and on his vaccination card he was from Market Rasen which is 30 miles or so from here, the address has been blacked out though so can't read it, pity i would have liked the lady to know he is ok.

thanks everyone not going to do the radio i don't think but will do the blanket thing TT, he's a bit more settled today, have been very strict with him, he has to wait and sit when i put his lead on, then wait whilst i open the door and if he's quiet then he can come out, behind me i might add. He has picked that up very quickly don't think he's had any lead training at all or other training, he is house trained (thank goodness), he is sat at my feet as i type this and i love him already!! He hates my husband tho!! Obviously not used to men at all, growls and barks at him (ooops!) Dennis is going to take him out tho and feed him for a while so he knows he won't hurt him. Fingers crossed!! Watch out for further blogs on Jerrys new life and ours!!

Oh thats so sad Orgratis, but uplifting too, 'there are more things in this world Horatio than we know of' (thats a saying in our house lol)

He had only been at the kennels for a day when this was taken so he's still a bit wary, poor things life has been turned upside down, hoping he'll perk up a bit when he's in a home rather than a kennel, will keep you all up to date!!!

Oh PP hope Sarah doesn't read this!! Its a Jack o lantern, hat and face can you see it now? lol

Ok Andrew looks like its moving then!!! i have a South facing garden but its on the bottom fence which faces north!!!

Well done Ian!!! welcome back
