    Hi 7/14 please @cathybird Thank you - I hope you are enjoying your weekend?
    @HotDog2020 yes thank you - it's been a quiet Saturday but was sunny here - and you? xx :)
    Thank you @cathybird Yes sunny here too, got some housework done, went round town and visited MD...Today planning to do a big Sunday roast.
    @HotDog2020 yum! Love a roast, hope you enjoy :) xx
    Thanks @cathybird roast turned out well again, this time beef - really very enjoyable. I have a portion for tomorrow and two portions went to MDs and SF..I will wait to hear if they enjoyed...they are yet to have it...but it was good. Please can I have 8/14 not planning on making any spends for the rest of today. 
    @HotDog2020 sounds lovely - I live off leftover portions a lot of the time, they are the best :) xx

    Definitely not an NSD for me! 😳 I've ordered lots of plants for my ponds and things for my meditation garden - worth losing a NSD for 😉
    This garden sounds amazing!
    Will you be offering guided tours, or at least post a few pictures? 
    Not amazing yet - lots to do still!! 😳😂 

    Here's the 'not quite finished' new wildlife pond though 😉 
    @leftatthetrafficlights the pond looks great! It's quite hard to finish a garden, they tend to keep changing over time, in a good way, don't you think? xx :)
