Everything's Blooming!!! 


Thought I'd better get some practise in ready for the Flower Demo 24th June. It was my friend's grandson's wedding on Saturday and this ball of flowers is on the gate arch which must be about 20 feet high! It nearly didn't get hung but was worth the effort (and risk to life and limb!) the inside of the church looked fantastic too. Anyway job done so had to stop for a pub lunch on the way home and then at Chew Valley Lake for an ice cream. Spotted the little fella pictured top right, there were several baby Moorhens darting in and out of the reeds at the edge of the lake but they were quite a long way away so it was difficult to get a good picture but soooo cute.

Well what happened to the promised rain today? I didn't think I'd need to do any watering but the pathetic little dibble we had here, no such luck. Took everything out the greenhouse, replaced the bubble wrap with shading 40 degrees inside when the sun did shine! Needed to replaced one of the automatic vents and then potted on lots of plants and planted some more veg seeds.


The garden is looking amazing, very lush and full of colour already, these photos are just a few of my favourites. The garden is all part of my fitness regime!! and it's much more fun the housework!!!!




Started a different class this week call Fitsteps great fun and really felt I had done a workout. Also registered with a Gym, got to book a session with a personal trainer and get a program in place that hopefully won't aggravate my back any more than the gardening does.


Lots of interest for the Flower Demonstration just need people to start booking the tickets but I guess because it's in June no-one will think about it until next week! Also keep getting asked to do one in Bath so looking into that as well.

Auction lots starting to come in Bath Spa Hotel have pledge two day passes for The Spa, Gill at Silverside Glass Studios has promised a Glass workshop at her studios. Dave Rolfe of Rolfe's on Bear Flat has agreed to be the Auctioneer so that will be very entertaining. Don't forget if you know of any businesses that would be willing to donate Auction Lots please let me know.

The Pub Games Challenge was so popular everyone is asking when the next one will be! I think I might simplify it by only having 2 different games instead of 8! Hope to get that booked in for late June before I do my training weekend in July.

Early September there will be another family fun day very similar to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
