- I love the smell of the earth, the sprout of a seed and the joy of a changing garden.
- I never get tired of holding babies.
- Things I’ve done in spite of my fears: scuba diving, para-sailing and holding my cat as he slipped away.
- I used to cover my short, red, curly hair with my mother’s black slip so I could pretend I was Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet.
- I enjoy the sound of a purring cat, fizzy champagne and my husband’s laughter.

Boomdee, what a lovely day you’ve had. I can just picture you visiting with your friends at the beautiful lake. It sounds like my kind of day.
I’m so happy you like the page. I’ll post it separately on Facebook so you have a copy if you like. It was easy to do. You have so many lovely pictures, and you organize your site so well that I was able to go back and find some of my favorites (I have many more).
I’ve loved this connection we’ve made. Your comments and posts are something I look forward to every day. Thank you for that.

Alys, you are a really lovely lady – the collage for Boomdee is such a kind thing to do! Thank you for mentioning The Pyjama Gardener blog – it’s much appreciated (although I am still a little shy of these things). Thanks also for introducing me to Boomdee’s blog, it’s super, and I look forward to popping over to your other nominees!
Thanks again (big wave from across the Atlantic) x x x
