Hi Annette
Really sorry to hear your news – I hope you will be okay during what are bound to be difficult months ahead.
Thanks for the tip re the fan – in the bedroom we tend to have it on a stool so that the air flow hits us rather than the base of the bed…. very hot, humid nights lately.
Keep your chin up
Love

Thanks Linda,
It was in the garden when we bought our house but we had to move it when we extended. It’s done really well in its new position – at least 6ft tall
Love

Hi Jean
Thanks for naming my plant and the added information re Queen Victoria – I knew it was a female name but for some reason couldn’t get Beryl out of my mind!
Simon wasn’t allowed to come in on Friday but should be in for the rest of his anniversary shows – we’re together on the 16th
Love

Tip re air purifier, I have a different one in my bedroom and rather than having it stand on the carpet I have it on a thin cake board, does make a difference with prolonging the filter cleaning as it’s not directly picking up from the carpet and also acts as a barrier as some units can get warm underneath…just a thought!
Nice to have a distraction at the moment and well done on your writing.
After 25yrs together, my ex o/h has decided the grass is greener on the other side, so the past few weeks have been very painful and upsetting with still more to come, so whilst you may not see me on here, I will be reading your blog.
Great picture of Wilfie BTW!
love

That’s a Myrtle evergreen shrub and it will grow up to 15 metres !!, according to my gardener hubby.

Already made a sneaky purchase of a couple of Butler and Wilson pieces must have been buying for 25 years as have rather a lot ! Your bee magnet plant is Myrtle which Queen Victoria had in her wedding bouquet,
Please give my regards to Simon and wish him many more years,
Jean
