    @alp I don't have any clematis anymore.I used to have a Montana, but got rid of it and one that flowers through the winter and evergreen. Cleared it all so i could grow some fruit. It's a bit boring, but we do have some azaleas and Rhodes.
    Just made some jam tarts

          Guess what? I have bought 2 packets of Salvia Patens .. I don't even know where they have gone ... :wallbanging::dunno::yikes::cry3:

          Just how stunning is that blue.. @Mark56

          Now I know what Agastache is like .. (blush!) They do go very well with salvias.. I wondering if I can see my salvia patens this year .. Either the seeds have all died or the the slugs have had several field days..

          @Mark56 Must have been a stunning day for you too.

                    I think a she Doc Who is fair. Why not?
                    Alp, slowly and surely is best way. Your tiling will be superb :)
                    Re driving.....hmmmm! The only accidents I had involved women drivers.....one drove out of a side road and hit me; another turned her car in the road and hit me. Another hit me when driving at speed wearing no shoes...this was on my birthday!!!. Yet another hit me reversing when I was stationary. The only exception was a serious crash involving 2 motorcyclists but they too had women pillion passengers :)
