| | | Hurray for the clocks changing
I do like this time of year, it meant I was able to get my trusty mountain bike out of the shed last night when I got back from work and go for a ride in the woods whilst it was still daylight, woohoo!  (very exciting for us poor people stuck in offices all day long!!) |

Yes, I love the light nights too. Cant wait to sit in garden again glass of wine in hand listening to insects buzzing and the birds singing.  |

Sunny evenings, dragonflies by the pond and lots of lovely wine, I agree, longer evenings are gonna be fab once more

I suffer from S.A.D so the turning of the clocks is like a huge weight off my shoulders every year!....im so relieved.

I love the clocks going forward and am looking forward to seeing stunning sunsets while teaching myself to become bike fit again, and a little after supper gardening. |

Aaaaah the waterfall, just finished unearthing a pile of asbestos dumped in the quarry back in the early 70s, have finished the bit I was working on and was having real trouble deciding what to plant. Realised a sculpture type thing would look great. Now home to big dragon................
Due to be planted with ferns and moss.
Will be painting dragon with yoghurt soon to help green it up a bit and will post pic later in the year. |

yes, it does seem it will be more of a hot chocolate and biscuits whilst shivering in the garden rather than a glass of wine and relaxing in the evening sun! Sorry folks if I jinxed it by wittering on about how pleasurable the lighter evenings are!! |

I have sat him on some large stones with gaps so small mammals and insects, amphibians! can take shelter under him as he is hollow at his base! Like the Yoghurt idea will paste some on the stones at his feet. Cheers Hobble

Painted the dragon with my 3yr old daughter yesterday, she asked why and I told her it may help to green her up a bit.
Moved some forget-me-nots for self seeding next year so he will look as if he is in water.
As far as Oddies garden, no thanks, it would drive me mad. | | |
