Honeysuckle Hedge

Dropped a very tired and grumpy BB at holiday club. His late nights have well and truly caught up with him.

I think I sat at my desk for about half an hour today and spent the rest of the day in meetings. Having lost all track of time I had to run to the station, but luckily the train was late. Collected a (still) very tired and grumpy BB from holiday club. He told me he wasn’t feeling well and that he was “stressed”! For stress read over-tired!. I still had trouble getting him to bed, but he was then out like a light.

Booked a week away during the October holidays – something to look forward to.

Another emergency garden blip. The honeysuckle grows on a rickety old fence(our neighbour put up the wooden fence – to hide our fence). The Tropaeolum speciosum and a clematis grow through the honeysuckle. The clematis flowers occasionally (it gets cut back with the honeysuckle – so is pruned at the wrong time of year). Amazingly a second clematis appeared this year. We have had no luck with clematis in other areas of our garden, and transplanted a half dead plant beside the ramshackle fence a couple of years ago and had totally forgotten about it as we have never had any flowers. This year it has provided us with the lovely purple flowers you can see in this blip. We think it is sheltered from the wind here.
