May 7, what is it? Looks pretty yuck.

Wow Ellianne I suspect there are a few of them today. It's not let up here at all.

Look what I found on the decking, minding it's own business

Too much water for one little river.

They’re wonderful at the moment, aren’ t they Greyduster?!

Bluebells on a walk this afternoon.

These were flowering at this time last year. Nothing in flower at the moment.

Shysal What a gorgeous shed!! I have several hostas, some are in the borders. For years I've treated them with a garlic infusion in the afternoons. To make the infusion, boil a whole head of garlic in a large pan of water until the garlic is very soft. Allow to go cold then mash and strain. Pour into two 1 ltr milk bottles. Dilute a couple of tablespoons in a full watering can. Using the spray head on the watering can water the hosta leaves. This has to be done in the afternoon. It works for me and I saw a hosta grower on Gardeners' World last year who uses the same thing, on a large scale.

I like your garden Aldom, how do you keep your Hostas uneaten? I can't even grow them hole-free in pots.
I was just thinking the same ha

Ladies, I never knew “shed envy” was a thing.....I do now! ?

This is my shed, from the Posh Shed Company. I saw one on an Alan Titchmarsh show, after which they were on special offer. Unfortunately it has to be near the house due to the slope of the garden. It is choc-a-block with 'stuff' as I have no garage.

My new shed. Due to Covid I had to wait 6 months from ordering it to delivery. Worth the wait

Blustery here in Padstow today.

Peaceful places at Heligan yesterday and a robin sitting bravely beside us.

Visiting the south coast to spend time with our son and his family, after the longest ever period of not seeing them. Today’s blues skies were a lovely bonus!

I'm thinking there should be an exclusive holiday photo thread here on GN over the coming months to cheer us up and to show everyone how beautiful the UK is!

Take loads of photos cornergran that's what holiday memories are made of.

This morning from the bedroom window. We’ll miss the peace here when we get back home.

That really is a 1000 words picture grannyqueenie.

A visit to a favourite coffee stop last week, the first since way back last year. It was before indoor seating was allowed, the view was lovely but it was jolly chilly out there!

Very cute corner

Squirrels here too kate. I love watching them. These were outside the front door this morning. Not so good at posing though .

The river Ribble looking dour today. I hope Belisama isn’t angry.

We had a break in Torbay. This is a view from Bayard's Cove Fort at Dartmouth.

Oooh Corner, memories for me there, we used to love going to Mevagissey, we`ve spent many an hour around the harbour.

A very damp Mevagissey harbour yesterday. Memory Lane for me, many childhood family holidays in the area.
