I've had my son staying fo three days . He came to put my fish pond right . Big job but bless him he sorted it and now all is well again , fish happy , swmming around and looking busy again . They come to the side at 9 in the morning for breakfast and 5 in the evening for their second feeding . They are quite tame and friendly again.

I planted my runner beans yesterday or I should say

Peter  did . If they had been planted earlier they would not have been any good with all the rain . one of my garden seats have had a coat of paint ready for when the sun does decide to shine . The Patio has been jet washed and 12 bags of chipped bark spread around , I'm hoping to supress the weeds . They grow overnight with all the wet weather .

This year I have no crab apples on my 2 trees so no crab apple jelly this year . Both trees were loaded with blossom so I don't know what went awry there . The starlings stripped my pear tree for the second year running so no pears either . There definately isn't many Bramley apples  .

My sewing, knitting and crochet have been on the back burner this week due to a painful shoulder . The doctor said it will probably have to be a steroid injection . Mmm!!  I hope not .

I've joined Pinterest , all I have to do now is find out how to upload pictures on and pin pictures from other sites . There are some very interesting quilts on there
