So, over the bank holiday weekend last weekend, the Southend Air Show was on, so, needless to say there were a lot of plane flying overhead towards Southend. Although you can hear them coming from a long way off, you don't get to see them until they are right on top of you and believe it or not it was hard to take a decent photo but anyway here are a few that I did take.
On to this weekend, we have finally bought a BBQ (wanting to use it when we actually HAVE some nice weather), so here are some pictures of Keith and Andy (who is staying with us for a couple of days) putting it together and the Naked Chef at the grill attempting to cook. Maybe he might do the cooking more often now we have one? There are also a couple of pics of Arwen (of course) being generally cute.
That's all for the time being! xx

Clematis and other plants





So we have been gardening again. This time we, well, I decided that I wanted to change the plants in the beds by the shed. So we pulled them up and planted some Cosmos and Salvia Red and another plant that I can't remember. We also put in a lovely Clematis "Snow Queen" which we bought. Originally I wanted Alliums in there but they only had two rather dodgy looking ones at the garden centre so may get these from Crocus.co.uk when I am off for a week in 2 weeks time. I also decided to move my Jasmine from one side of the garden to the other, I don't think it is liking where it was so hopefully the change will do it good.
Next thing is to get a BBQ!
