A Very Good Morning To Each

[albaqwerty]

Hope you are all well and keeping dry.

Spring seems to have sprung a leak in parts of the UK. Hosepipe ban seems reedikulus :-)

Albs, being a Yorkshireman, my first love is white roses and that is what I always put on Sylvia's grave (along with deep red or purple carnations to show off the white) and it is what i usually bought her but I must admit the red on Loving Memory is stunning. The Lady Sylvia is a pink with an apricot centre

[WELSHYORKIE]

Bye, Noraq - have a good day

[waterboatman]

Have a happy day Nora. xxxxx

[albaqwerty]

Bye Nora, take care xxxxx

I haven't seen a decent white rose for years. The last ones I've seen were more a yellowy colour, off-white as it were.

[WELSHYORKIE]

Albs - strangely enough a newish white rose called Wiliam and Catherine is a lovely pure white and another called Clare Austin is another quite recent one too. The ones I get for Sylvia I get from tesco abd look a little off white when they are tight but when they open out after a few days they are a stunning bright white

[albaqwerty]

darn it, my 'local' tesco is about 10 miles away. However, I walk pass my local florist quite frequently so I might just have a nosey. The lady is very nice and chatty (errr probly a requirement for being female!!)

[waterboatman]

Correct alba. :o} It's inbuilt for talking to babies, would you believe! True!!

[WELSHYORKIE]

Alas, 'tis time to get on with the daily grind so.....................

Have a good day y'all and, if you have one, may your god go with you

[albaqwerty]

awww, have a good un Welshy xxx

[waterboatman]

Have a good'un Welshie.

Morning all yes I too love to watch flowers from bud and opening. Especially if they are a memory of things. About 15 years ago I took back daffs and tulip bulbs from the scillys. Every year I have had the black ones bloom but there is not 1 black one this year. Plenty of the others. Have a nice day it's a bit better here in Leics this morning so far.

morning, it has sprung a leak, and we have had only i day in the last three weeks when it hasn't rained... not that i am counting.

morning Wendi and Em xx

My tulips this year are all yellow, can find a red one anywhere :-(
The mixture was lovely to see.

Morning all...have been on susu watch, and getting T and toast. Don't know
what weather to expect to-day, cloudy, but sun appearing between clouds.

I have a beautiful deep red rose bush, cant' remember the name, had it years.
It has come from a piece that was from a pruning, just put the ground, and
it grew. I have done the same last year, about six have taken. x

morning chi x

I'm hopeless with names of flowers, I used to know quite a dew years ago but life has overtaken that memory line. I think it was Wendi who had a cordiline (sp), beautifully delicate thing.

Morning alba,sorry I missed your last party.I have plenty of iced fruit cake ready
to bring to the next one ! x

[paddywak]

Good morning everybody.

morning dg x

Iced fruit cake would be most appreciated. I'm doing cheese scones for Eccles (and anyone else btw), I'm in the mood for cheese straws personally.
