Woof wood, that's Olly's conversation at the moment, along with the odd letting off of wind very charming. My poor garden is starting to look neglected what with trying to keep an eye on Olly and all, there are triffidlike weeds all over the place. I had forgotten how wierd the Acaena looks up close, it has an air of strange martian plant life about it with the red spiny burrs popping up like little sputniks.

For the benefit of Mum I apologise for my every occurring typos I type at speed when I get time and not by touch typing!!!!! I poopped in to the wool shop in Mumbles this morning to get some wool for the girl's crochet and to hunt out some hot pink wool to post off to Mum. Success on all fronts yay. Just look at the lovely raspberry colour of this poppy, it looks good enough to eat...

The giant scabious are up to 6 feet already with their hairy scaled buds waiting to pop open to reveal beautiful creamy green flowers within.

Of all the foliage plants I think ladie's Mantle is the prettiest in the early morning, they may seed willy nilly but it's worth a bit of weeding to get shots like this.My other fav plant is the drumstick alliums, mine have been in 5 years now so they are gradually getting smaller, but as they flush with colour they are very pretty.

I have my best friend coming to stay tomorrow for a week with us K and L can't wait, luckily for Nick he gets the ned room with the mezzanine so our early waking at the barn shouldn't disturb his holiday lie ins:D We've got a roller blading party to take the kids to in the nmorning. Last time my friend Cath and I with much hilarity and taking the pee out of each other got up, got blades on like the kdis and had a hilarious time!!! Andy on roller blades? Like Bambi on ice he said and sadly they don't have any in HUGE size, can you tell he was soooooo sad about that (not a bit) so he's got orders no laughing at Cath and I or else!
