Love the double rainbow, Howie, and looking forward to some cute kid photos over the next winter, copago! I have a rather scrawny and straggly rhododendron which I inherited in the garden when we purchased our house. The first few years it did nothing at all and I threatened to remove it permanently if it didn't flower. The following May it gave me one single but magnificent red bloom, and has continued to give me fantastic flowers every year. I can't go back on my word, so I keep the plant, despite it being the most miserable-looking thing for the other 11 months of the year. It's about to come into its own for 2016 any day now:

Jill, do you freehand the chalk drawings? How do you keep your lines so straight, I think I'd be sloping up or down the further I moved to the side! Fun drawing in any case, it made me smile.

Interrupting here. There have been such gorgeous photos lately,and I love jigsaws. (I know, get a life). This site is so easy to use for turning photos into jigsaws. http://www.jigsawplanet.com/. Sorry Flopsy,Jill , but I think it is relevant. If not you can take it off.No problems

As mentioned in last month's thread, I spent the last weekend of April at a scrapbooking retreat. It was held on a farm. In addition to the farm being a working sheep and wheat farm, it also has a scrapbooking shop with chalets for people who go up there for retreats. There is a bathroom and toilet under the main roof next to the chalets, but in addition, we had an extra outside facility (commonly referred to as the thunder-box or the dunny) which has magnificent views (which I will post tomorrow).

As promised, the view from the loo at sunrise. Flopsy, I have three pottery dunnies on the window sill in my loo!

I've just planted a new crop of wallflowers to replace the ones that vanished. No photos till they are meant to flower next year. Henley on Thames.

Lovely photo, MotherGoose! As a natural townie, I've always had fond memories of the two-mile view across rooftops from the loo in my first London lodgings, culminating in the bulk of Battersea Power Station. But I must admit that the view from your retreat is wonderful.
