Last month Mum came to see me for the day, and it was so glorious that we went off to Syon Park for a walk. She didn't notice that the woman on the cash register charged her for a Senior ticket (Mum is not yet 60...), but when I told her she was happy to have saved £1!
We walked right round the lake, talking about her garden and its impending redesign, helping each other to identify plants (I have a much greater appreciation of azalea varieties now).
It was just as well that Hubster didn't come with us, as he would have been terrified of these Gunnera:
Mum brought with her some geraniums and lilies of the valley from Grandpa's garden, for me to divide and grow on.
The geraniums were a little difficult, being very potbound, but the lilies were no bother at all, and I got five plants out of the one clump.
Unfortunately, at some point during the potting up, I managed to plant my ace gardening knife in one of the ten pots I did. Firstly I don't want to undo all my hard work, and secondly I think the blade was still out and I'm a little nervous of slicing my fingers to bits! I shall have to invite Owen round with his metal detector!
