We have a perpetual calendar and these are today’s words which I like.
“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared” Budda
Be kind, be happy.
2 We bought a new Clematis yesterday, Miss Bateman, and it is very lovely. It is named after Catharine Bateman, the daughter of orchid specialist James Bateman and was warded RHS First Class Certificate in 1869. It seems that earwigs eat the flowers so we will have to keep an eye on her.

3 You may have seen my photo of a rather quirky kinetic sculpture of two little Woodpeckers a couple of days ago. When we went back to the Nursery yesterday, I bought it, so now, here it is in our garden! Do you ever do that? Fall for something but don’t buy it and then go back, on tenterhooks, in case someone else has got there before you?

Now does the sculpture put to the rest the pecking order in the garden or do they pivot.
Would it not be wonderful if we could live in homes with out walls, and just live in gardens. Hmmmm, might be a Bohemian.

Oh, yes! I would love to live in the garden, always a Bohemian at heart. Thank you for your email and photo. My reply bounced back but I replied on here. Hope you got it. 🙂
We now have three bird sculptures in the garden, four birds in all and I love them all!

Sculpture is gorgeous, nothing like a bit of art in the garden to make me smile.
