Now that's more like it!

How I envy you your sweet peas! I've tried for several years to grow mine; every year they start well, with lots of leafy growth, but they never flower! This year they appear to have died completely.

Blue skies, lively sun in garden, a little boy stopped to chat to me. made my day.

Talking about foxes I thought I saw my Ginger Cat going behind a shrub when I looked to see what he was doing a great big fox ran out

Sumer here in our part of Canada is steamy right now. However, how luxurious it is to have morning coffee on the porch, listening to the birds and feeling the breeze!

vikya the foxes dig up the garden beds and leave a really nasty smell behind them. The badgers tear up the grass looking for grubs. If we had acres of garden we wouldn't mind so much, but in our small plot every inch is instantly visible. I enjoy seeing foxes wandering around too, but it puts the fear of God into our elderly cat!

I have all the farm noises too and I love it until they harvest and the whole house and cars are covered in crop dust, a right mess if we don't shut windows or get washing in! But I still love it here and love the changing seasons

I dont think Phoenix was moaning Mabon!
The tractor was out in the field behind my house 2 weeks ago. Mmm! the smell of new cut hay. It was turned every evening for a week and then last week baled and carted off. Each day at 5 I had to shut all the windows and bring in the washing but well worth it to watch our local farmer going about his work ?

Can't hear yourself think here for cawing and twittering birds. Sea gulls, crows, jackdaws. Starts about 4.30am But it is far far better than traffic.

Ah we have foxes visiting us as always leave food out for them,at one time we had 6 on our shed roof.
And at one time when i was sitting in the summerhouse a baby one walked right past the window and across the fish pond,we also have seagulls which are noisy.

humptydumpty I just remarked to a friend the other day that I'd bought a bunch of Sweet Williams for the scent and thought that once they were in a warm room they would scent it out. No such luck - no fragrance at all. My lilies, on the other hand, can be smelled from metres away.
Patriciageegee - the yellow freesias are the ones with the strongest perfume.

I have yellow freesias in a vase beside me giving off a heavenly scent right now kathyd.

Nice sit by the river this evening watching a pair of swans gliding slowly by with 2 signets. So peaceful ?

I was out in the garden late yesterday evening looking for the cat, and I’m sure two bats swooped overhead! Can’t think what else could have been flying round at that time. Then I found some hedgehog poo on my step this morning! (Fancy getting excited about poo?!)

Can I ask which river Doodle? Something I've always fancied
