Morning All - hang on, just realised the time............Afternoon All.
I'm just been to the home of someone who is crazier than me! The tree in her front garden is covered with knitted animals and insects that she makes. She takes them down 3 times a year, and changes them for a different collection - you can guess which ones will be going up next!
Her back garden was incredible - a playground for grownups. The walls were painted with flowers and various backdrops. One corner behind the garage was the "beach" with deckchairs on a bed of shingle. The walls were painted with breaking waves, a lighthouse and palm trees.
The flower bed was full of "slugs", "snails" and "caterpillars" that she makes by filling socks with cement, elastic bands round the socks make segments for the bodies.
There was coloured bunting everywhere - cut from discarded paddling pools so they're waterproof and don't fade.
I felt like a big kid, oohing and aahing at all the things I could find.
I admired her garden flowers and showed her how to take cuttings and she's just messaged me with a photo of 12 jam jars full of cuttings!!
Funny how days turn out! I went there to pick up a freebie book and ended up, an hour later feeling like I'd been to Disneyland.
