Social media has been buzzing on this most miserable of days with the news.
I’ve treated myself to low fat turkey burgers for lunch and as promised I took some photos of the garden for Lizzy D even though the rain was lashing down

I don't know where you were standing to make your gardens look so big, but well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame about events at the Village Hall, I do hope it can be sorted out quickly before any impetus that you have all struggled to keep up is lost forever.
Perhaps The Crown could step in for Coffee Mornings etc it would bring them some daytime revenue as well as keeping the village connected.
Yes, like most men , I’m presenting it as being bigger than it is
DeleteOh John! The double entendre...this is why your writing is so engaging. You were missed terribly when you took a break.
DeleteThe garden is so charming and so pretty! It looks quite large. Thank you! I am sorry I sent you out in the rain thoo\.

It’s tiny in reality
DeleteBeautiful garden. Must be lovely to look out onto in any weather. If it looks this good in lashing rain it must be magical in sunshine! Ro xx
ReplyDeleteThe iris and alliums will be flowering more very soon so the colour should increase
Deleteyour sister did a FABU job on your garden! and those turkey burgers look dee-lish! here we are approaching 90F and sunny and humid for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank u
DeleteHope the village problem can be sorted out soon. Its upsetting when these things happen.
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks gorgeous!
I hope so too ..I hope so too
DeleteYour garden looks lovely...and huge...
ReplyDeleteLegal problems involving committees, councils (and egos) are a nightmare - best steer clear if you're not already involved!
I’m not , on any committee , so am not grinding any axe, I just think we need to keep the hall going
DeleteDefinitely!
DeleteOh dear - Village Politics can sometimes be quite nasty. Hope it's all settled there soon.
ReplyDeleteYou picture of Turkey Burgers made my mouth water and I don't even like them!
Infill mine with herbs and they are warned with paprika
Deletehe say-"you want it spicy"x
DeleteI hope there is genuine reason for the"challenge"and not some jobsworth interfering out of"concern"-I experienced a retired man from the council at a village event I was helping at who was also meant to be helping asking me questions about the produce so much I scarpered whilst he continued to browse(health and safety)x
ReplyDeleteOh, these petty politics. I hope it's resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope those burgers and buns (is that what you call a bap?) were as delicious as they look. The wet gardens are so inviting. You (and sister) have truly created a paradise.
Village politics, oh dear! Your cottage garden is looking lovely. At least you don't have to water at the moment. xx
ReplyDeleteSorry about the bother between the two community entities and how it will affect the folks in the community. Hope the situation can be quickly and peacefully fixed.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely and abundant in color, flowers, and greenery. Hope you and a friend can sit at your garden table, chat, and eat some tasty foods and beverages.
Hugs!
Sigh, red tape, rules and regs close so many good things, I hope the hall will be up and running very soon. You have a very pretty garden John.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks like a cottage garden should, really colourful and wonderfully random. Your sister has done a good job.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an admin error, not exactly scandalous. You need a trip to a big city or Sitges. You'll get to the bottom of it! I am sure there are people who have the job to do this and are working on it.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there are quite a few people working on it, I said I’d get to the bottom of things , just for me , because I don’t quite understand what has gone wrong
DeleteI’m sure I do need a trip to the big city , do you think I’ve lost my perspective?
Your garden is wonderful John - worthy of Monty Don.
ReplyDeleteSend in Perry Mason! I am sure he could sort out the Memorial Hall issue.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is exquisite. Hope the hall problem gets sorted soonest. Viv x
ReplyDeleteOh dear, WHO challenged the legality of the lease? And now the insurance has been cancelled! Yes, John, you must get to the bottom of this AT ONCE! It's more interesting than "Coronation Street"!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garden and good to see you back John.
ReplyDeletePolitics--even on small, local levels--knows no bounds. There's always some reason or other to create angst. But your burgers look good enough to eat and you garden is beautiful... even in the rain! I always find gray skies make greens pop.
ReplyDeleteThe low-fat turkey burgers (with a big dollop of fatty cheese added?) look lovely, and enough there for you and a guest too, of course...
ReplyDeleteLow fat cheese ( it doesn’t melt)
DeleteAch you should've made three then
DeleteI’m not a pig
DeleteVillage politics and wrangling..nothing changes!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking lovely
Either petty politics or a misunderstanding, I hope it’s sorted fast. Those Coffee Mornings helped connect the village, and Covid’s shown how important that really is.
ReplyDeleteYour sister’s (and your) hard work is really bearing fruit this year. What a beautiful display! Congratulations.
Your garden is looking very lush.
ReplyDeleteSo nice and green.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is "garden party" ready. Very beautiful. Something has gone askew between the Committee and the Council. Now I'm curious too.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful in its professional polish. As for the Hall situation, this is an unfortunate lack of communication and surely can be squared up.
ReplyDeleteI was once the Chairman of our village Youth Club in Shropshire, which held events in our village hall. One day we had a Health & Safety person visit, and he started to point-out ridiculous things that needed to be changed. When I asked if having knives, boiling water, and a staircase (all very dangerous) on the premises, he said that was OK. Luckily I had no dealing with insurance.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking really lush John. Hopefully the village hall will sort it's self out, what's the use of a hall if it's closed.
ReplyDeleteWe have the same political male bovine manure up here John, seems to be a thing in little villages!
ReplyDeleteTis quite a few years since I visited your good self and its nice to see the garden flourishing old lad.
Your garden is lush x
