PUT UP ME PARASOL

Having toiled endlessly on the patio, there is now not one dried leaf or pile of snail poo present anywhere. I have washed down the patio table and chairs, and have a new set of cushion covers and table cloth to put on it. I have now put up my sun parasol, and may run to a little old Barbie on Saturday night.
Please do NOT let this be an omen, to the lovely weather we are having. Except Dear Lord, that is, here in Derbyshire. Please send me some of your wet stuff, but only at night, to water my lovely garden, before it dies of thirst. Also the resevoirs need a top up, before someone shouts HOSEPIPE BAN.

LOL Julia.I think you will be safe at least for the next few days.It sounds wonderful with your spotless slug poo free patio,parasol and new cushions.
I'm sure you will be able to enjoy that planned Barbie.
As for the wet stuff.Our garden is desperate for a good soaking (overnight).The hose pipe has just been dragged down the bottom of the garden to water the veg.
Have a fab Easter .

Yes, but Island, have you a balcony to put them on.

Jane thank you for your best wishes. I owe you a PM, and hopefully I will get to it this weekend.

I still have a little wed wobbin, bob bob bobbin along my trellis when I have my tea in a morning and do the Daily Mail crossword. I wish I could have him eating out of my hand. He is absolutely lovely. But I think he will take abit of taming.

Take Care Both

Julia, on overtime, now clocking off for the night
