Alice picks the winners...& a prickly visitor...

Firstly....thank you so much for all the lovely comments on the last post. It was wonderful to read about your own gardens...or those you love...or those you'd like to have...or even just how much you enjoyed seeing mine! The best part of blogging, for me, is the opportunity to meet new people from different places - most of which I'll never see, but can visit through you!

I had so many entries that I decided to let Alice pick the winner. I wrote everyone's names down on a big piece of paper, laid it on the rug in the lounge & picked the first one that Alice touched with her nose! And that name was...........................DANIELLE! Congratulations, sweetie. If you'd like to email your postal address to me (use the address at the top of the blog) then I'll send it off to you as soon as I can.

As an extra 'thank you' for so many entries, I decided to let that wet nose pick one more name! BETTY (from cold Melbourne!) will receive a special, tiny prize....let me know your details too!

I'd really like to send you ALL something!

Does my love count?

And Alice's, of course!

There was a rare little visitor in the churchyard, recently...I thought you might like to see him (one of you mentioned hedgehogs, I think...and how you'd never seen one) We had another daytime hedgey last year...it's so special to see one, healthy & safe (as opposed to squashed on the road which is how they are usually spotted) that I had to pop out & take his photo...

just before he tucked himself away under the cool, dark tombstone for the rest of the day!

It's warm & sultry today - maybe a storm brewing. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend -I'm so looking forward to the Olympic Closing Ceremony tonight. I can't believe that it's all over, already...but hasn't it been great?

ENJOY!! xoxo
