Does Flower's keg bitter count?

Will definitely have to look further than my garden for flowers!

Try next door.

I suppose I did make a bit of an assumption!

But I did also say park etc  

And flowers (bitter) is fine

It's been an up and down week weather wise, but the sun came out for a few hours yesterday and the flowers in the pots opened up for a while. So here is mine:

I've posted mine up earlier - but not sure I made the right choice - too late now!

Some great photos there Mark.
I know that I have changed my entry previously. Not sure what the rules are on that but it has been done in the past.

[anglefire]

I'm happy with what i put up - but was quite a hard decision this week! Makes a change!

I`ll not get a entry in this week  / nor maybe next. My mum was taken into a care home, fell ill and subsequently died in hospital of an infection. No covid death statement for the conspiracy theorists out there just sepsis causing multi organ failure and of old age. She was 96 and had such a poor quality of life these last few years that for me and her, after saying she has wanted to go for so long it, was a blessing really but no easier to deal with. That said things have settled in the funeral area so we`ve been able to arrange a cremation where we wanted to this Friday. Lots of things to sort so that will be my focus the next 2 weeks - along with the final re-starting of the crown green bowling leagues of course.

Sorry to hear about your Mum Jinky - never is easy, but quality of life is as important as length - my Granmother was 102 when she died - but was basically asleep for 2 years. And I have an Uncle that is bed bound and little hope of any quality. Just a waiting game. Very sad.

Still, remember the good times and not the bad.

Yes those are the times to focus on. Thanks

Sorry for your loss Paul.

So sorry to hear that Paul. My thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear your sad news. Hope you and your family can bounce back after the cremation.
