No more work for over 8 days.
It’s our birthday on the 1st and the family, eight of us, are going out for a meal to La Richetta Usually I play the martyr and work, but not this year, it serves no one to do so, and so I’ve booked the weekend off, planning a jaunt to Liverpool with friends on the Friday and movie and a Japanese lunch on the Sunday.
All about My Mother is the film, it’s considered an old classic now
It’s a cracker
Mrs Trellis and Blue stopped to say hello.
She’s planning to enter veg in the show
How lucky you are to have a gardening twin, John! I could use one of those! Your birthday plans sound terrific.

DeleteA beautiful garden and a lovely birthday weekend planned. My birthday is on Saturday so close to yours.
ReplyDeleteThe 25th???
Delete25th indeed x
DeleteJanet is very spry, eh? Our little dog (smaller than dear Roger) taught us to catch her when she jumped up, but as she has gotten older we have to stoop more and more for her to make the jump. It's still handy sometimes.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your days off!

Much more spry that’s i
DeleteYour garden looks a treat! Well done Janet! Lots of lovely things to look forward to including your birthday...just as it should be. I hope the weather gods smile on you. Roger might still get the gist if you keep trying ... he is a lovely boy.
ReplyDeleteEven Janet agrees he’s dim
DeleteYour garden looks marvelous, and sweet Roger looks comfortable in your sister's arms. The next 8 days sound busy and wonderful! Enjoy, John dear.
ReplyDeleteI’m proud of how my garden now looks , it’s love
DeleteY to hear the compliments from passing walkiers
I bet Mrs Trellis will enter a big, fat courgette as cucumbers are classed as fruit.
ReplyDeleteP.S. The churchyard grass needs mowing.
Steady x
DeleteI was hoping she'd enter a veg bobble hat.
DeleteI know I wrote a comment in praise of Janet and expressing excitement for your joint birthday celebartion. I also said something very clever about Mrs. Trellis and my initial curiosity about who Veg was. It’s not here, and I won’t repeat it (at least not exactly).
ReplyDeleteIt’s gone to spam let me check
DeleteYour garden and the lane look so delightful. Janet is a gifted gardener. [her poor knees tho.] And your birthday week sounds so fun, tho your bday weekend must be week after this one, maybe June 2? Lots of celebrating! You have a wonderful year ahead. Early best wishes to you and Janet.
ReplyDeletelizzy
Yes our birthday June Ist
DeleteI think you should buy Janet a kneeling frame. I hope she doesn't read this.
ReplyDelete8 days off! Enjoy! Your garden is a thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteJanet is a lovely looking lady. How blessed you are to have her in your life.
ReplyDeleteI want a Roger (and a sister Janet). I admit to wondering if Janet has any difficulty with her knees. - Happy Birthday to you both! - Jackie
ReplyDeleteRoger does look a bit awkward in her arms.
ReplyDeleteWell done Janet, the garden looks impeccable.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to say " our birthday"! I've always envied twins. Janet makes the garden look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see a glimpse of Mrs Trellis and Blue on a walk too.
Oh how I love that film....BA
ReplyDeleteYour sister is a garden angel. Also, just an angel.
ReplyDeleteAlways take your birthday off. I learned this the hard way. Enjoy the break, catch up on sleep.
