It's definitely work getting true details about my husband's day. I've got to get to knitting a scarf for my mom for Christmas. It will easily take me all month. Thanks for the inspiration to get going! I'm sure yours will turn out better than you think.

A walk around the Botanic gardens and then tea in the Holburne museum cafe is a pretty perfect way to break a journey home from the West Country. I'm sure that when the scarf is finished and flung around your neck it will look marvellous.

I would feel under pressure to keep my front door and garden absolutely tip top, so as not to let the crescent down. I get absolutely nothing from Angus about his day. Nothing.

I don't know what I'll do when they're at different schools. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-33939600841921728662016-11-20T10:22:15.327+00:002016-11-20T10:22:15.327+00:00Lovely photos CJ, I love courtyard gardens it'...Lovely photos CJ, I love courtyard gardens it's so nice to see people making the most of every little space they have. Living in a small flat myself I can really appreciate this... My own son is also as forthcoming. Mostly the answer I get to my questions is "can't remember". He can usually manage to tell me what he had for lunch, but that's about it. I really enjoy my visits to your blog, thanks for sharing.<br />Catherine<br />x<br />LullabyMelodiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304875511005401254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-80481121329695575642016-11-20T09:12:55.452+00:002016-11-20T09:12:55.452+00:00it will be a very stylish bear xxx

I would like a topiary bay tree and an English Box hedge. I bought some white hydrangeas this week, some are pure white while others have green accents near the centre of the petals, they are beautiful and will add some elegance to my garden. <br />I think your eldest son is at that age where he wants a little privacy and you will only get one word replies to your questions...hang in there and keep up your side of the communication. <br />I'm sure your pink scarf will be lovely when<br />it is completed, you are young and pretty so pink will suit you. Would love to see your neighbour's front garden.<br />Happy weekend dear friend.. xoxoxo ♡diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171808338793139579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-25508551728076268172016-11-18T07:42:11.968+00:002016-11-18T07:42:11.968+00:00I love the idea of evergreen shrubs in containers,...I love the idea of evergreen shrubs in containers, dreaming of a bay lollipop in my tiny front garden ...

Bath is always so very tidy and perfect isn't it? Similar conversations here about school unless I resist the temptation to initiate them and wait for info to be forthcoming as and when.
