Where are you Two Hoots?  Lost in the Welsh flooding?

Chris F is already talking about returning  - well he would, from the safety of his bed under a morphine haze 

MotoGP on this weekend as well 

[Two hoots]

Gardeners world in the nec, walked around from 9.30 - 5.30, didn't get home until gone 9 pm so I'm a bit behind 

Did see lots of flooded fields tho 

[CLKD]

Oh that's a change.  Buy anything, lots of new ideas to take home ?

[Two hoots]

Three lupins, the slugs will be happy  we had success this year with a Himalayan poppy, its a beautiful blue colour, so bought two more. We couldn't resist a rose, it's a beautiful colour but when I saw it was called special grandpa, it's what my son used to call my dad, I had to have it 

Also tried lots of samples and bought some jams in the Good Food show and saw Tom Kerridge and Lottie Duncan doing cookery demonstrations, it's a chance to sit down as well as to see the cooking

Oh you are Special if you can grow Himalyan poppies, usually no where in the UK is high enough!  I found that lupins grow OK here in a deep tub so that the slugs can't climb high enough, one lasted 3/4 years before fading away.

Did U go on a holiday recently or did I dream that as well

France in April for Paris - Roubaix, feels like much longer ago, and one night away for Malvern flower show. 

I do live on top of a hill perhaps that's why the poppy likes it

I am successfully growing three of them here in the Lakes CLKD. Beautiful blue. Have made sure they are growing where they are a bit protected. Love them

Well done 

Watching lovely scenery on TV right now :-).  Began racing in the rain, everyone has Froomy in the back of their minds .... now it's sunny.

[Two hoots]

Yes Herdwick they are a fantastic colour, unlike anything else in the garden

Apparently CF has fractures in the cervical spine - of course, some fractures don't show on X-ray initially, until callus forms round the break so there may be more
yet 

[Sparrow]

Not good but he is amazingly fit and determined.

Fingers crossed for next year.

[JaneinPen]

Sad he won't be in the Tour. Hope Geraint has another successful one though

[Two hoots]

Women are around here today, it was nice and sunny but overcast now, probably a perfect day for cycling

  That reads really funny Two hoots.  It's seems women are a rare breed where you are.

 . The final stage of the womens' Pro Ovo-energy Tour today.

Headlines that CF lost 4 pints of blood during surgery, in my day 4 units was given routinely for a total hip replacement  .  I could tell some tales about blood loss!
