One way to store it until you give it to Kaitlin is inside a pillowcase, rolling it as you have done rather than folding. We watched the first programme in the series and were not impressed, yes it was a beautiful island but my concerns were for the children. If you decide to live your 'dream' do it when the children are old enough to make the decision to join you or old enough to live their own lives and dreams. I found it sad the eldest one actually wanted to go away to boarding school. Well done on the lavender plants one of my favourite, we have bought a lot of our plants for the garden at the van from Lydl and never been disappointed. I intend gathering the flowers to dry them I love the perfume. Being fair skinned I'm not a sun lover I can't sit or work out in it, Mr B can he's very brown as are most of the neighbours at the van lol. Whereas I look like someone from the village of the damned film lol. My excuse is I have to walk the ops when it's oiler in this weather :) xPeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316654845669641549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-46602687380185123842015-07-04T09:04:26.907+01:002015-07-04T09:04:26.907+01:00Yes, Pam, we watch 'Love Your Garden' and ...Yes, Pam, we watch 'Love Your Garden' and made the same comments regarding the cost and who pays. It ends up as thousands of pounds and, although it makes good TV, it's not achievable for ordinary people. We sit there saying "how much!??"

It looked nice with the snow, but having to put all the outer clothing on before you go outside would certainly put me off. My favourite was the first one on the island, it looked so idyllic, but my thoughts always turn to if there was a medical emergency and they are so far away from help. I'm too practical I'm afraid. Still, each to their own.<br />Do you still read David Baldacci? I've read a few of his and I have a couple more waiting to be read. The only one I didn't like was Saving Faith, it was a bit too political for me.<br /><br />Joan (Wales)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-73512146925448582912015-07-03T12:51:31.821+01:002015-07-03T12:51:31.821+01:00All they do is clear the plot and add stuff no rea...All they do is clear the plot and add stuff no real gardening going on, having said that I did like the design.

On Sunday I cut up all of the red/white/blue fabric you sent, and with some other fabric I have, there's enough for a lap quilt, so that will be started soon - thankyou again for your kindness.<br />We've been watching the Kevin McCloud programme too, and have found ourselves questioning lots of unexplained and vague things. It did make a change not to have people who have given up high flying jobs in London this week though!<br />I don't watch the Alan Titchmarsh programme because of the vast amounts of money spent.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-72593184288453592862015-07-03T07:53:27.381+01:002015-07-03T07:53:27.381+01:00I saw that Kevin McCloud programme too and thought...I saw that Kevin McCloud programme too and thought the same as you about feeding themselves and the dogs (didn't notice the light switch) Mean spirited of me I know, but her constant smiling got on my nerves! <br />GillFrugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-1679575520578858672015-07-03T07:04:53.792+01:002015-07-03T07:04:53.792+01:00I saw that particular Kevin McCloud programme and ...I saw that particular Kevin McCloud programme and thought similarly to you.
