    I love the Eden Project, absolutely fascinating place
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    My veggies are nearly all swallowed by the weeds and I cant carry enough water to the greenhouse!!
    Hoping to still get a bit of a harvest.

    Rose's are awesome this year so that's a positive!

    I know what you mean SMum veggie plot clear of weeds at the moment (but for how long?) but flowerbeds have lost the fight with the weeds.

    Not got any roses but the hypericum are looking good.

    Used to have 100 rose bushes but what with black spot and rust cleared them out many years ago.

    Doesn't time fly been a while since I was on DWD.

    Just over a week ago went to the Boat House for lunch with sis and bro in law the place was under new management and the menu was pants so ended up with pork pie and chips (they had no salad or chicken as not delivered and for pud the only choice was ice cream it was great to see sis and bro in law but the Boat House ain't what it used to be.

    I'll report on yesterdays events later as sausages smell like they're burning.

    Yesterday was lunch club day was expecting chicken chasseur (spelling) but the butcher only supplied mince so we ended with cottage pie and the pud was roly poly can't call it jam roly poly as it only had half a dolls teaspoon of jam in it resulting in many complaints.

    Played dominoes til 1:30 then left early as it was Carols annual charity tea party to raise money money for a local hospice (St Annes) and guide dogs for the blind plus we had to bring some items for a local food bank.

    There was a woman called Angela sat on her own so I sat with her for the afternoon we played bingo and the was a tombola only 2 men (including me) and 50+ women) was fun we had scones jam cream and a cup of coffee/tea and was there from 2 pm to just short of 5 pm was fun sat in the garden under a gazebo what could be better.

    PS. Good to see you Paula

    I'm glad you went to sit with Angela, it can be really lonely sitting alone where others seem to know everyone.

    Sounds like a really good day yesterday!

    Lunch Club yesterday pork strogonoff (spelling) and rice very tasty followed by choc brownie and cream even brought home a huge helping of sausage casserole and dumplings needless to say after the aforesaid casserole for dinner I was totally stuffed those dumplings could've sunk a battleship, 11 people there at the club, it was a fun afternoon I even won at nominoes *winks at Flo*

    Hope you're all doing well the sky over the road looks as dark as night we may be in for some rain which would do the garden some good.
