All systems go!

No wonder I couldn't keep my eyes open last week by Wednesday I had the dreaded soar throat followed by the head aches and now a chesty cough, just when I thought I was going to start catching up with everything!!

Thank goodness for the rain the gardens desperately needed it, typical it would be over the bank holiday weekend!! and brrrrr so flipping cold!! but at least it made me stay in and start tidying the house ready for the 16th, which, anyone who's been to my house recently will know, is no mean feat!! Everything's starting to come together for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, someone's even threatening to bring a pony so we can do pony rides!

I did a bit of experimenting today with lollies, so got some lolly moulds and fresh strawberries and bananas, put the strawberries in the blender and added palm sugar and fizzy water then did the same with the bananas, then put them in the freezer.   Sampled a banana one earlier and I must say it wasn't bad at all, might have to try the strawberry one too. Going to try it with blueberries and mangos next.

I've been bringing on lots of plants in my greenhouse and have been busy potting them on and planting up some hanging baskets as well, so I will have lots to sell, just got to make my Mad Hat now and finish the cleaning and tidying then not much else I can do till the day, apart from pray for sunshine of course!


The blossom this year has been exceptional, this tree is on the Warminster Road but I never get to photograph it normally as there's no where really to stop but the road's closed so made the most of a great opportunity.
And yet another sunset but I can't resist them!!

Anyway back to the serious business, I have booked the new Civic Hall in Keynsham for the Wednesday 24th June from 7 pm for a Flower Demonstration so spread the word and let me know how many tickets you want! The tickets will be £8.50 each, numbers are limited so let me know as soon as possible.
