I've just realised that it's only 8 days til Mickey graces me with his presence so I've been trying to tidy up, although he says he doesn't care, I DO!! So my throws have been washed and dried on the line, now it's time for other throws to be done. Tomorrow I'm having my hair cut again - well it is over 3 months since I last had it done, so it does need doing - it really does!!!!! Then on Thursday I'm taking the car to the garage to have the window sorted - it won't shut properly - well it will but it falls into the car half way up. Apparently it's probably fallen off the little wheel which guides it. So that will make the car look better - it's got some plastic stuck on with tape to cover the window - so not a good look!!!! LOL

Well with the washing blowing merrily on the lines, I took a walk around the driveway to see if there were any new flowers out there - of course there are...........







There are loads of blackberry flowers out - so soon there'll be loads of berries - well I hope to get to them before the birds do.............




Or little green insects - they seem to like them too..........

Next to the blackberry flowers were another kind of wild flower.........


I don't know what it is - but it's a flower so it can stay........ also there was this strange flower - well not exactly a flower - just this.............


Now this is either something after a flower's gone or this is it...........

My Leycesteria Formosa [otherwise known as a Himalayan Honeysuckle] has really come up trumps this year - the bush is lovely and big and there are loads of flowers on it...........












Aren't the flowers gorgeous? Such a complicated flower -

Our own British honeysuckle looks totally different............




The common mallow is prevalent in lots of places in the driveway - in fact it's all over the place.............


The common mallow


The loose strife is also popping up all over the place - I do love it, it's so tall and such a gorgeous blue............




Also I noticed that the mombretia is starting to form flowers - wow now I think of them as being autumnal flowers - it's only just started being summer..................



There are still lots of lovely flowers around - my gorgeous new red poppy looks absolutely gorgeous when the sun is shining on it........




There is also a large plant in the garden - it's got soft hairy leaves and I thought it was just that - a soft hairy leaved plant - but I noticed today there is a flower on its way up - so what it is - you'll have to wait like me.............


Well folks that's about it for today - I'm sorry to keep harping on about the flowers, but so many that I've not seen before are coming up. My daughter sighs very heavily when I mention flowers - and I've got to tell someone haven't I? LOL
