Though I have a lovely view of the garden from this room. But at this time of the year I look out at it and all I see is work, because this is the time when everything just gets away from me! In fact, it looks a bit like when the poisonous pink perennials were mistakenly put in the Hobgoblin's hat (for anyone who reads Moomin books!)Catherine Czerkawskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554969254207924049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-71379495484131121152013-08-24T19:32:58.110+01:002013-08-24T19:32:58.110+01:00What a well timed post - it's been raining all...What a well timed post - it's been raining all day!

It's the getting started that's a problem! madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.com
