"Open Gardens"

    A good day out, if you like that sort of thing, not what "other Person Who lives Here, would really call a good day out.  Each to their own, I suppose.
    I have been and will continue to be a " Walker" and I have been a " Walked," whether that happens again, we will see.
    To be  "Walked", you have spent countless hours primping and preening for the day.
     You have checked the weather forecast, days ahead and hope and pray, for fair weather not foul.
    You've spent money on this and that, just because you could. Well that pot does look good there, those new roses just add to that spot and no-one is going to know if you have over extened the budget.
     Then the day arrives, people pour into your garden, some with handbags so big, you wonder if they are staying overnight, or they are fitted with false bottoms. You know what for, those little bits of plants called cuttings. Enconsed away, out of sight of the garden owner. "Just ask", I say, but that does spoil there fun of pilferering.
     Critics, will possibly be overheard, "To Dry, To big, to wet, not enough of this or that. Doesn't matter, you've done your bit. You've probably raised abit of money for some Charity or other, well done You.
   To be a "Walker", such fun, new ideas, photos taken to show "Other Person Who Lives Here", just what we could build or plant or pave or many whatevers.
   The Forecast doesn't matter, that is what hats, coats, umbrellas and all of that is for.
   All you need to know is where a good Cup of  Tea Place, for after is, you always work up a thirst and possibly an appetite as well.
   Looking forward to the next "Good Day Out".
