Thanks Herica a new experience for me growing Lilklies, so we will have to wait and see how they get on ;0)

Ugggh Olive, Red Beetles think I will have to use my size Three's to squash them, couldnt do it with my fingers either!

I use my size 8's very large feet. lol, they help me keep upright though. Yours are baby feet Pansy. lol. I used to have dreadful trouble up to about 10 years ago getting shoes to fit me now they make them bigger so I am ok now, but the red beetles are not! lol.

I have the same problem getting shoes smaller enough for my feet especially the Funky Wellies they sell nowadays lol

I gave up on wellies, they are too narrow on my calves and they do not seem to make them wide enough at the ankle so I struggle to get the damned things on or off. lol. I now either garden in an old pair of flat shoes or ankle boots.

I know what you mean Wellies are a pain to get on and off, but I like them for walking on the bridle path when its muddy;0)

Dont have any lillies in my garden as there suppose to be harmful to cats.

Oh thats a shame Carol, didnt know they were harmful to pets!

think it is the pollen Pansy that causes them problems, if it gets on their fur. They lick it and it causes them tummy upsets.
