I've received a few messages asking to continue the 1000 words thread. It has obviously given many people pleasure and some positivity. For anyone who doesn't know, posters come on with their photographs of pretty much anything and we take it from there. Nature is always a good one.

A lovely rose. Is it perfumed.
In the evenings I am enjoying the perfume from my honeysuckle as it wafts in through the open door and windows of my sitting room.

Thank you Aldom. It has a slight perfume to it.

I have found it very hard to come on here recently with any photos as sadly we lost our beautiful golden boy a couple of weeks ago. He was only 8 years old, such a loving dog, and sadly we didn't even get to say goodbye.

Anyway, some of you have seen this new fella lurking on an unrelated thread. We have only had him 24 hours but the camera shutter is working overtime.
Here he is ......

Ellianne I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear golden boy. Made more painful by not being able to say goodbye. Your new little chap is gorgeous. Hope you make happy memories with him. flowers

He’s gorgeous Ellianne. There’s a whole wide world out there waiting for him to sniff ?

Hellogirl1 Sun 25-Jul-21 20:46:06

So sorry about your lovely boy Ellianne, the new kid on the block is a bit of alright though.

Awh he looks so cute doesnt he. Sorry about your lovely boy Ellianne.

I'm delighted to welcome this frog into my garden. He's already eaten a fat slug.

Catching up. I’m sorry about your wonderful boy ellianne, how is your adorable, very photogenic new friend settling in?

A steam train trip for us yesterday. Enjoyed every minute.

I have steam train envy, Corner! So sorry about your lovely dog, Ellianne. The new baby looks like a live wire though!
Here is a gap in the hedge from me.

Garden visit

A couple from my walk today. Where has all the water gone?

Lovely to see your beautiful new puppy, Ellieanne, what have you called him?
One from a favourite walk of ours, made all the more special this week by having our son and his family with us for a few days.

When a friend died last year her daughter who isn’t a gardener offered me a couple of seriously struggling potted shrubs. They hadn’t been watered for a long while. The azalea didn’t survive, the hibiscus planted in a border is happy and healthy enough to begin to flower. I was so pleased to be able to send this image to her daughter.

What a lovely memory of your friend corner

Some flowers in the garden this week

Deals on the Farne Islands doing what seals do best! And an eider duck snoozing in the sun.

So many fabulous and interesting photos.

Ellianne love the sofa pic of your new little fella!

Yesterday I finally went over for a look at the Dianna statue - not too impressed I'm afraid to say, not least by the fact that it's in the Sunken Gardens to which the public have no access. The nearest you can get is from the gate behind the statue! The side views I zoomed in.

I suppose that's the nature of statues - they are larger than life as they are viewed from a distance.

In a little lull after a bit of a family fest. It was lovely to see them all but I have to admit that a quiet coffee at this favourite spot was very welcome today!

Greyduster Tue 10-Aug-21 16:02:47

This plant is an awful thug but the bees love it so much I don’t have the heart to pull it out!

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 16-Aug-21 08:50:00

Morning everyone. I found this inside the roof of my little shed. It looked a little bit like a mushroom so I hooked it out with the rake.

I imagine it's been left by a solitary bee. It's only a little thing but I've never seen one before and found it fascinating.

grannyqueenie Wed 25-Aug-21 23:35:29

It’s lovely, bees are very clever aren’t they! Maybe less so this little chap who seems to have backed himself, or rather eaten himself, into a bit of a corner!
