The face of a woman yesterday in Parliament!

 When the PM was asked yesterday in Parliament about his Chancellor Rachel Reeves, he didn't actually state that she was to stay as a minister, so what did that mean? And sitting behind him her face crumbled and there were notable tears. Is she for the chop, we don't know, but what we do know is that she has caused misery in many  peoples' lives. Those who had their heating allowance stopped, and those who have lost their jobs, because of the increase in the basic pay and increased National Insurance, which many firms found they could not afford. Hence they had to let some people go.

    Her policies have forced the Government into their U turn on the heating allowance and down toning of the disability allowance. Should we saying 'Poor Rachel' she was only doing her job or join the protesting crowds and the back benchers, who want her gone?

Were her tears that of shame because of her policies, or because she was the cause of the Governments' fall from favour (did any one hold them in esteem?) or because she knew she was losing her job. Who knows?

Well one thing we do know, is she won't be short of a penny or two!!

It's not easy being an Member of Parliament even with their generous pay, that they voted for themselves.

Just some pics of the garden

 Just some garden shots... everything is beginning to flower at last!

I'm loving these and we have three,,, all in  a pot which we'll keep in the pot, as they are supposed to flower better.. Agapanthus.

And the clematis survived that gusty wind from a few weeks ago.

And the blue geranium will soon be joined by the orange flowers of the crocosmia, buds are there,

We have been sitting on our bench in the cool of the mornings, too hot later on.

On one of the FB gardening groups I belong to, a member had written the joys of retirement, was sitting on her patio with a Magnum.. there were a few comments asking her for a glass, but of course she wasn't talking about champagne, but a chocolate covered ice cream!

But I agree, it is lovely being able to sit outside in our garden and admire all our hard work.
