It spends most of the day in shade, hence the algae marking it.

I'm back!

I'm sorry, I've been missing for a bit. I went up to meet my new grand-daughter yesterday, and when I returned home I found we had no internet!

I am not addicted to blogging - honestly!

To digress for a moment, when we moved from our home in Wales to live in a tiny cottage on a small island off the north-west Irish coast, we got rid of a load of our books. For years after that we'd keep reaching for books we no longer had.
Yesterday, with no internet available, I kept reaching for my computer to find the answers to various questions.
Right, no internet.
OK, I don't need it, really I don't. There are so many things I can do instead. I can do some laundry, clean the floors, even do some cooking. Maybe read a book, or do some sewing, or something!
But what about the items I'm watching on e-bay? What about my e-mails? What about my bloggy friends? WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD?

It was such a relief when the internet was returned to me.

***********************

Now I want to thank all of you, old friends and new, who commented on my various posts. I'll return your visits as soon as I can.

I also want to inform the world that I have the sweetest and prettiest little grand-daughter. I can't share any photos with you - my son is (probably with reason) a little paranoid about posting children's pictures. Also, the whole event is so profoundly personal and moving for them that he wants to keep it as private as possible. Naturally I respect his wishes.

But I am a very happy woman!

Saturday PhotoHunt - Party

I'm sure everyone today will have happy photos of great parties, but I'm struggling.
I looked for other meanings,and I found this in WordWeb Online:

Noun: party wall paa(r)tee wol

A wall erected on the line between two properties and shared by both owners.
The picture below dates from last summer, and shows the white-painted party wall in our front garden, surmounted by what I take to be a party fence!

I checked my ancient dictionary - the 1948 edition of Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary - and it informed me that party-coloured is (or was then!) an alternative spelling for parti-coloured, which means partly one colour, partly another, or variegated. So here is a shot, also from last summer, of party-coloured or variegated leaves in the corner of the flower bed. I can't wait for summer to come again!
This last shot shows my party-coloured back fence, waiting for the clematis to wake from hibernation.
These apparently dead twigs belong to my Clematis Montana 'Reubens', which will look beautiful once it wakes in the spring.

Happy Hunting!

ABC Wednesday - F

Today's ABC Wednesday features the letter F. There are so many F-words (no, I don't mean that word!) that it was hard to choose. I thought Friends, Fur, Feathers, Flowers ..... Too many words! Then I finally decided - F is for

FENCE

Fences vary so much, but they all have one thing in common. They mark boundaries.
This Fence is at the end of our road - a strong, fairly new Fence that just stops!


This second Fence is a very different type, alongside the lane where I normally walk Badger, my old dog. Rather tumble-down, but still a boundary.

If you like the idea of ABC Wednesday, visit Mrs Nesbit for the rules, or click on the logo at the top of this post.

Happy Wednesday!
