It’s done βœ”οΈ really well this year πŸ‘. I’m going to take some cuttings once it’s stopped flowering & pop them in the greenhouse over the winter πŸ₯Ά.

There will be nowhere to sit soon πŸ˜‚.

I hope 🀞 everyone is having a lovely Wednesday so far 😘

Gooood afternoon everybody πŸ‘‹. I hope you’re all having a lovely day so far?

It’s windy 🌬️ but at least the sun β˜€οΈ is out (for now) πŸ˜‚. I’m hoping to get all the towel dry πŸ˜‚.

I’m just nipping around the Court with Popsi 🐢 on our lunch break πŸ‘.

I hope 🀞 everyone is having a fabulous Tuesday so far?

I’m out walking Popsi 🐢 in the rain 🌧️. I’m still wearing my flip flops 🩴, vest top & shorts 🩳 πŸ˜‚.

It’s very refreshing feeling the rain 🌧️ on my skin - I bumped into a friend 🦌 along the way.

It always makes my day when I see them β™₯️.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Happy Tuesday All 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Gooooood morning πŸŒ… everybody πŸ‘‹. Welcome πŸ™ to a grey day here in Corsham πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§. I hope 🀞 everyone is having a lovely week so far! ❀️

The mornings are definitely getting darker now, & I always find it so much harder to get out of bed πŸ›Œ when it’s still dark outside! 😴

I’ve been perched on the edge of the bed with no covers since Popsi 🐢 decided to come upstairs & see us at 3am. πŸ˜‚ She sprawls out & practically pushes us both out of bed β€” honestly, she has absolutely no idea how big she is! 🐾🀣

I’m getting up now to give her some breakfast 🍳 , then we’ll head out for our morning walk 🚢 🐾 before work starts. We’re rattling through another week already β€” where is the time going?! ⏰

We’ll head to Costa Coffee β˜•οΈ for our usual caffeine fix πŸ‘. I like to walk 🚢 🐾 around Corsham Court drinking it. It’s also handy now the colder πŸ₯Ά weather is coming in as it keeps my hands πŸ™Œ warm πŸ˜‚.

I’m going to jump on the cross ❌ trainer in a bit & then have a nice steam πŸ§–β€β™‚οΈ . Today is all about hydration πŸ’¦ too β€” I drink so much water & absolutely love it! πŸ’§

We’ll also do our usual morning stroll around the garden πŸͺ΄ . We do this religiously every morning, whatever the weather is doing. 🌿🌸 I need to top up the bird πŸ¦… feeders & put some nuts πŸ₯œ out for Tina too. 🐿️❀️

The Roses 🌹 are still hanging in there, & I’m continuing to deadhead them every day. We’ve got lots of new buds appearing, although I’m not sure whether they’ll actually open with the cooler weather creeping in. 🌹

It’s always a little sad when summer β˜€οΈ starts to slip away. It’s been such a great summer this year, with lots of lovely memories, sunshine, gardening & adventures. β˜€οΈβ€οΈ

But there’s still plenty to enjoy before winter arrives…

Let’s have a quick joke:

At school, Little Johnny's classmate tells him that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, so it's very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."

Little Johnny decides to go home & try it out. Johnny's mother greets him at home, & he tells her, "I know the whole truth." His mother quickly hands him $20 & says, "Just don't tell your father."

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, & greets him with, "I know the whole truth." The father promptly hands him $40 & says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth."

The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, & says, "Then come give your Daddy a great big hug!"

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I hope 🀞 everyone has a fabulous Tuesday wherever you are in the world 🌍. Stay positive & stay safe 😘

β›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈ Happy Monday All β›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈβ›ˆοΈ

Gooood morning πŸŒ… everyone πŸ‘‹. Welcome πŸ™ to a wet πŸ’¦ day here in Corsham πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§.

I hope 🀞 everybody had a fantastic weekend & managed to find some time to relax.

I think πŸ’­ it’s going to be wet all day today in Corsham πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ β€” definitely one of those days where the rain makes you want to stay tucked up indoors! β˜”οΈ

Popsi 🐢 had a bit of a bad πŸ’© tummy during the night, bless her, but thankfully she’s OK now. 🐾❀️

We’ve already been out for our morning walk πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ 🐾 , so she’s had some fresh air & is hopefully feeling much better.

I’ve been busy too β€” 45 minutes on the cross ❌ trainer followed by a lovely steam πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ’¨, & I’ve also cleaned the house 🏑 from top to bottom. 🧹✨

I grabbed my usual morning Costa Coffee β˜•οΈ & drank it while we walked 🚢 🐾 around Corsham Court. You can’t beat a nice Costa β˜•οΈ 😘.

I’m now sitting at my desk & getting on with work πŸ’»β˜•οΈ, although I’m still finding plenty of time to deadhead the Marigolds! πŸŒΌπŸ˜‚ I really don’t know when I’m going to stop collecting seeds & deadheading flowers 🌺 ! My seed tin is over flowing πŸ˜‚.

✨ Monday inspiration

β€œDon’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment & make it perfect.” 🌟

And finally… πŸ˜‚ Monday’s joke:

Why did I get divorced?

Well, last week was my birthday. My wife didn't wish me a happy birthday. My parents forgot & so did my kids.

I went to work & even my colleagues didn't wish me a happy birthday. As I entered my office, my secretary said, "Happy birthday, boss!" I felt so special. She asked me out for lunch.

After lunch, she invited me to her apartment. We went there & she said, "Do you mind if I go into the bedroom for a minute?"

"Okay," I said. She came out 5 minutes later with a birthday cake, my wife, my parents, my kids, my friends, & my colleagues all yelling, "SURPRISE!!!" while I was waiting on the sofa... naked.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Have a fabulous Monday everyone! ❀️

Stay positive, keep smiling & make the most of the week ahead! πŸŒΈβ˜•οΈπŸΎ

We’ll never see this week again 😘

🐢🐢🐢🐢 Have A Great Evening All 🐢🐢🐢🐢

It’s been a chilled afternoon so far - roast chicken πŸ— is on. Popsi 🐢 is relaxed on the sofa πŸ›‹οΈ. Shaun’s upstairs putting some of my jeans πŸ‘– on Vinted & I’m on the sofa watching Monster In Law πŸ˜‚. Love a bit of Jennifer Lopez 😘

We went to Costa Coffee β˜•οΈ & grabbed a tuna 🍣 melt & coffee πŸ‘. We walked 🚢 🐾 Popsi 🐢 all around Corsham Court then headed home.

I’m looking forward to a hot bath πŸ›€ in a bit - busy week starting tomorrow 😘. Change is coming 😘

I hope 🀞 everyone is having a lovely weekend so far 😘

There is a popular belief that conkers 🌰 keep spiders πŸ•·οΈ away, but there’s no good scientific evidence that they actually repel spiders.

I’m still trying it though πŸ˜‚. They make a nice table display, especially when you add some essential oils to them πŸ‘. οΏΌ

Some people swear by putting conkers on windowsills, around doors & in corners, especially in autumn πŸ‚.

They’re harmless to try, though, & they might make the house smell a little β€œwoodlandy”! πŸ˜‚πŸ•·οΈ

If you want to actually reduce spiders coming into the house 🏑 , the most effective things are:

Keep windows/doors screened where possible.
Seal gaps around windows, doors & pipes.
Reduce insects around indoor lights, as spiders πŸ•·οΈ follow their food.
Vacuum webs & spiders regularly.
Keep clutter away from dark corners. You never know who’s watching πŸ‘€ you!

If you’re worrying about big hairy spiders πŸ•·οΈ coming into your home πŸ‘β€¦β€¦.I feel your pain! πŸ˜‚πŸ•·οΈπŸŒ°

I hope 🀞 everybody is having a fabulous Sunday so far 😘
