Hi Vanessa it’s only me - I’ve been really worried about you and I hope you’ve been alright. It’s just that you didn’t post a Vlog/video last week please don’t think that you have to post one each week. It’s just that I was worried that if you’re okay - I hope you’ve enjoyed this lovely weather. We’ve been having this week unfortunately in the heat my multiple sclerosis Gets really bad - I’ve been in bed most of the week to release the pressure on my spine. I have my two fans going full speed ~ and I’m staying as positive as possible - the nurse has come early with more medication so I’m gonna settle down now and watch your Vlog/video - I hope you have a great weekend and a great week next week - sending loads of love and loads of hugs as always~ Xxx Xxx

Vanessa, what about a butterfly net repurposed for ball channel retrieval? Your garden is looking lovely. Sorry, I think we've trapped on the heat, humidity, and sunshine here in the USA. Have a blessed week, safe travels.

Love Foxglove, Bachelor Button survives here during our winters, I saw an unusual moth and will have to Google it, thank you again in showing nature in England! The moth is called Great Spangled Fritillary😊

I have wondered how you turned around. Good info. I've struggled to grow foxglove, funny to see it just wild. Right place for the right plant I guess. Hello from partly cloudy Oregon US.

Perhaps your soil is too good as foxgloves seem to do well on very little it seems. Thank you for your lovely comment. Take care 🌻🦋

Hello Vanessa, I also think the stalls along the road are so cute, unfortunately there are also people who steal the money and products. Have fun during your visits.

That was my time away, Ruth and I am back again now. It was wonderful to see my family although I didn't get to see everyone that I wanted to as I ran out of time. Still, I am grateful for the break. I hope you are well? Thank you so much for your kind comment. Have a super week. Take care 🦋🌻

Dear Vanessa, Thank you for your reply. It is good to hear that you are back safe but sad that your plants have suffered. I keep forgetting that narrow boats don't have a keel and that they have a mind of their own when reversing. Mark Alberta, Canada

I had no idea moths could be attracted with a sweet treat (I've learned something new). We never got to see you finish off the ale (LOL). Save travels.

Well, I still need to see if my recipe will attract the moths but generally it is supposed to be a good way to see them. Mr M drank the ale🤭 Thank you for watching. Take care🌻🦋

Thank you Vanessa, a glimpse of Mindfulness, even in a torrent. Gongooslers are an odd bunch, & i think it probably wasn't personal. However, I wouldn't argue with you, you obviously know yourself better than I do.😀
