The garden liked it!

 Wednesday afternoon we had our book group meeting at the library. The building that is away from the main town street and up steps.. So I walk, up the ramp, what we call the 'long' walk.; the one good thing is that it ups my daily steps!

A recently new joined member wasn't there and I was very glad because, last month, all she could say about the book was that it  was rubbish! She said that several times. I found that very offensive.. how rude! The person who runs the group said nothing about that comment, so I was going to this time. But she wasn't there!

The meeting was 12md to1:00, so ends at our lunch time. We usually trot off to Costa for a cheese toasty and coffee, no cake, we eat our own SW Hi-fi bar! When we came out, it was tipping down with rain, I wear one of those plastic hats! I'm not getting my hair wet! My mac only covers 3/4 of me , so couldn't wait to get home to get changed. I hate rain... At home we watched the rain coming down in sheets on our perfectly tidy garden, hurrah!! Just what it needed.







A month ago it was looking awful and we were grumbling that  we had given ourselves too much work, by digging the three flower beds, and now tidy, the plants have filled out, there are buds and new growth and the grass is back short.. so we're pleased with our efforts and we have loads of plants growing in our little plastic green houses to add to the flower beds.
We're ready for summer, so bring it on! What about you?

Your garden is looking beautiful. I have one sad rose in a pot and several olive trees in pots. I took down the umbrella sheltering the palm, think it can cope now it's in the 20c's.

Books are very subjective arn't they, it's what makes for a good discussion sometimes, even if you didn't enjoy a book you can usually find something positive about it, to just dismiss it as 'rubbish' seems a bit negative.
