26th August 2020 - Welcoming Doris to the Garden

Thought for the day:"Remember when you could get up without making sounds? Good times!"


Did some clearing of gutters this morning - up on a ladder and everything. Was a right mess but they should work next time we have a deluge which will probably be tommorow..

Susie found some more Rose Garden and cleared some new-found steps down to the the river.

I cleared the debris from around the garden and made a big pile ready for burning sometime when it is less wet. Still can't get near to the lawn to cut it - far too wet... It is getting quite big now.

Popped into Newcastle Emlyn for some clematis for the front climbing frames.  

Sadly, it is a little late in the season and the specimens there were a little poor. Apparently more being delivered on Saturday so we will go again then...

However, w have had our eye on someone else for a few weeks and decided that this was the right time ..

Something out of 2001 - A space Odyssey 

Let's take the wrapping off..

Apparently her name is Sophia - according to the packing 
I call her Doris

And in lace in the Rhododendron Circle

Entering the Circle

And sitting in the Throne

Seems to fit quite nicely...

River was high today - this was the view from the Breakfast Table..


Found a new Rose climbing the Paddock Gate 

Spring is so full that the Dragon is almost drowning 

Beginning to get on top of the water course and paths
Susie in her natural habitat

View from the Spring for future reference

Again for future reference

Susie finds that the area has slates on the ground with
 concrete steps with probably a Tamarisk growing

Managed a 5 minute flight with the drone with only one crash - getting better ...
Will be getting to the point where I can put a memory card in the drone and start filming sometime.

So - Victoria visiting this evening for  few days - the start of a few people wishing to visit - we are looking forward to it ..

Meanwhile at 41 - Nancy has been a star ..


Can't believe it is the same place !


Cheers !!
