Morning from S Lanarkshire and happy birthday Sar53, have a lovely day and celebration at the weekend.

Sorry to hear your latest health news Marydoll but hopefully you will be more comfortable soon. The last wee while sounded awful.

Several phone calls I have to make so I’ll just wish everyone the best day possible, as ever thoughts are going to all who need them.
I saw Urmston station too last night and sent special wishes to our friend.

Golly, Taichi, what a lovely creeper! I am very jealous.
It's a relation of the Nasturtium, and I have managed to kill at least 3, so gave up. Perhaps it doesn't like the warmth of th south.
Trouble with Nastutiums is that overnight thy get swallowed up by catrpillars...

But the caterpillars turn into lovely butterflies!

grandmattie it likes peatie soil I think - but honestly it has a mind of its own! Friends have taken numerous rootlets to no avail. Yet the gardener at a castle ruins a good few miles away hates it and can't get rid of it, no matter how he tries! Maybe karma will know? Or *ekwa"? Or anyone?
Sorry about the second photo - don't know why that was picked up!

Morning from a bright Co Durham.
Two hour blitz on house 😀 I’m worn out now.
Thoughts as always, with Urms, Kalu and mick. Marydoll, do take it easy.

It’s a beautiful plant Taichinan, but I wouldn’t know how to get rid of it, sorry!

We don't want to know how to get rid of it (or maybe the castle gardener does!). We want to know how to propagate it 😉

Aggie I love your reply re the caterpillar!
