Great pics Simon, as Manic said... bit of cheer on a rainy day, but glad to find the rain has helped  the digging. :)

Wow, thanks for all your kind comments, glad to be of help glosterwomble  :) The "white" flowers are actually pale blue Georgie, ie the ones by the decking  Leonnie from a different angle, which are Veronica gentianoides. They don't last for long but I wouldn't be without them - I call them my little dancers cos I'm an old softie  ;D
