Not The Promised Downfall

 

Hello!

How is your weekend turning out?

Precious little was done today at Norwich House – the torrential rain never really materialised, but it didn’t stop the weather looking like a sulky child!

I did manage to complete the post processing of a set of photos for a young cousin of her at her school formal. I suppose thats a tick of the list! 🙂

The strawberries will need a tidy up soon – but the colours are still pretty in the dying leaves

I eventually extracted myself from the computer to load up on some wood, feed the chickens some scraps, water a few potplants… that kind of thing.

I enjoyed a brief wander around the yard for some fresh air while it wasn’t drizzling

pelargonium

Garden tip for newbies – if you want to feel like a champion, break off a bit of pelargonium or geranium and shove it in a pot or the ground – it will grow a whole new plant with no effort on your behalf – ok – maybe a bit of watering, but they are ridiculously easy to strike!

The winter look is a bit bare and sad

All the pelargoniums on the left side of the photo I grew from  bits I snapped off a mature plant (Original from Ruby) I did it to hide the side of the deck and they have grown really quickly. When in flower they are a mass of purple!

I finally emptied the rain gauge again. Tipped 150mm (6inches) out of it. Now if we get that promised rain I can tell exactly how much!

Onion weed. Pest bulbs that are quite pretty, but will need to get on and dig them out soon. They take over quickly

A small splash of red has popped out on one of the rose bushes!

Roll on Sunday!

Cheers!
