Beautiful aquilegia
Gorgeous iris

Climbing
Zoe and Evie
There was so much for children to do there. The girls had a cookery session and a kite making workshop. There were swings, slides, golf, climbing and a chill out area. That last was bliss. Mood lighting, air conditioning and an episode of Bill & Ben The Flowerpot Men. It was close to being my best bit. Evie's worst bit was getting covered in mud three times and the stilt walkers. Her best bit was the jazz band and Martha's best bit was dancing to the jazz band. Zoe's best bit might have been the 30 minutes she got to look around on her own and possibly seeing Monty Don.
Dancing
Got back home to discover the coffee supplies were running dangerously low and headed out in the van to replenish. On glancing to my right at the bottom of our lane I spotted a large-headed fellow standing in the dyke. Or so I thought. It was actually an election poster featuring Ian Paisley Jr, or Ian Óg as ussuns like to call him. I really, really need to get these eyes fixed.

I love that aquilegia x
I should have noted the name.
That sounds like a wonderful day. I have the exact same rule about perennials now! No more guilt watching plants sit around waiting to be planted when there's no more space.
I bought some beautiful geraniums, quite small plants, last year and planted them in an overcrowded bed. Only one survived.
That sounded like a great day our, I called to a friend on Friday afternoon, she had been there in the morning and was just full of all that she had seen. Maybe next year I'll make it.
Good luck tomorrow.
I would rather see Monty Don than Ian Og.
(Should you be driving?)
Do go Marie. It has something for everyone.
Yes Gan. The consultant says my other eye is fine and one eye is all that is needed. If I look sharp to the right it takes a few seconds to focus that is all.
