  • Week 270 – May 10th – Dad’s rose – Part 1

    After we got back from Greenwich, we had planned to plant the rose tree we got for my dad in memory. 

    We had a bit of change up in the rose area of the garden, and now just have two rose trees for my dad and Claire’s mum. 

    Claire did further planting whilst I cleared up the front drive.

    This is over 10 years old and Claire in the year said, she thought it was dying, now it’s given us our best bloom ever.

  • Week 268 – April 24th – Can’t Park

    We had planned to go up to London today, for our final elephant charity egg hunt. 

    We wanted to go up a bit later in the day, to get cheaper car parking at Sidcup station and cheaper rail tickets 

    Erm NO 

    There were no spaces at Sidcup station, or New Eltham station or even Mottingham station. 

    Wasn’t expecting that at all. 

    We ended up going to a garden centre NottsCutts in Royal Tunbridge Wells and purchased this plant.

    Well I wasn’t expecting to be planting a new willow tree in my garden when I left home this morning.
