I love the radio, especially 'sounds' and their drama stories which I listen to whilst weaving.<br />My other camp is calm and always needing attention, the garden and house of course. Then there is Paul, seeing that he is eating enough. Perhaps lives can be constrained into a small circle. <br />Jan Morris once wrote that you could read in one square metre of land the whole history of Wales, our lives are similar.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-23147882078276948912019-08-03T16:49:15.373+01:002019-08-03T16:49:15.373+01:00It's funny how we seem to live our lives with ...It's funny how we seem to live our lives with feet planted in two different camps. One foot is in our everyday lives - our gardens, our meals, our family members and friends. The other foot is in the external world - of Brexit and by-elections, global warming and American politics.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-25717123181191880742019-08-03T07:42:56.245+01:002019-08-03T07:42:56.245+01:00I love the 'featheriness' of cosmos, such ...I love the 'featheriness' of cosmos, such a delicate flower.

He is very happy to be home as well.<br />I really feel for those people living with the knowledge that their homes may disappear. The lady clutching her tortoise in a washing bowl with two dogs in the car brings it home. I saw your bumble bee on F/B sounds very unusual.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-51590942899322291282019-08-02T23:58:09.536+01:002019-08-02T23:58:09.536+01:00It is surprising how quickly my garden is beginnin...It is surprising how quickly my garden is beginning to recover from the floods - shasta daisies and cosmos have carried on flowering, as have the antirrhinums.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-62717904369777797072019-08-02T20:19:55.780+01:002019-08-02T20:19:55.780+01:00So frightening for all those poor people.

My raspberries are alive with bees and wasps, so I have to watch carefully when I'm picking the berries.<br />ArilxArilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447764056767139963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-1806523410418818152019-08-02T19:18:59.654+01:002019-08-02T19:18:59.654+01:00It must be very scary for those folk who have had ...It must be very scary for those folk who have had to abandon their homes (and I am guessing, those who are resolutely staying put too). That dam may not hold if there is another torrential downpour on Sunday, and the results don't bear thinking about. Tam and I did a walk to Bradfield near Sheffield once, site of the Great Flood of 1864 when the Dale Dyke Dam collapsed, killing 240 people, and destroying 5,000 homes and businesses. It happened at night, when everyone was asleep, so casualties were higher because of this.<br /><br />I had a Painted Lady butterfly visit my Teasel today, and she was feeding half the afternoon there. Later on I spotted a black and silvery-white bumble bee which wasn't very co-operative for photos - turns out it was a Bombus bohemicus (a Gypsy's Cuckoo bummblebee). Never ever heard of one of those before, so a privilege to have it visit my patch.<br /><br />Hoping that Paul might be home this weekend.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
