Sea holly and bees

This morning I spent some time making a start on clearing a bed at the front of the house, it was covered in dying plants. Have been concentrating on the back but apparently someone in the town said the front garden was a disgrace. I wouldn’t go that far but it is in need of improvement. Tina sent out a request for ideas but I have decided to clear what I can of the main bed myself. The sea holly is a real bee magnet, and the bees that are attracted are not bothered by you taking pictures. I have cut it down to three!

I caught the bus up to Freeport as I wanted to get more dies and if possible some spray glue. Bought quite a lot of dies, may use some and have pics tomorrow. Aimee was on duty today and she made me a cuppa and we had a chat before I became the best customer of the day!

Darren was collecting his new car this evening and had been going to take me to Bridlington for a couple of hours while he went to one of his club meetings. But in the end he was delayed so the three of us went out for tea instead in a nearby village so I still got a ride in the new car.

The car is great and the meal was good when it arrived although the service was a tad on the slow side!

Only had to water a few bits in the garden but will be back to the whole watering thing again tomorrow I think. Have loads of gourds forming and the plants are huge!
