Nothing like a bright spot of color!
The handle on your recliner does not qualify as an exercise machine.

Tim in the last pic, is that poached egg plant?  I've just germinated some and I'm curious to see what they look like in a border.

They are primroses Posie.  I have poached egg plants all over the garden as they seed themselves like crazy and there are no flowers yet.  I think it is still a tad early.

Thanks EJ, couldn't see from the pic and they're decidedly more tidy than my primroses who all look like they've been in a scrap at closing time!

Star - same as in the first one.

Thanks, Janet - we didn't know! It was a present last year.

age is everything  ;D our house is about 120 years old and we have an alder tree in the garden that the stone wall was built around to accomodate it, making it probably 150

I love the idea of history in a house and the lives of those that went before as well of those in residence  :)
