The silverbeet is very healthy at the moment and was yummy as part of last night's dinner. The quilting is making progress but is taking ages. About 2 thirds done now.
Some random photos taken in the last few days.
Bumble bee on Sedum.
Gallardia looking lovely
Rosehips mean it's Autumn.( on Complicata rose )
I visited these tame water birds when I had a walk on the way back from the supermarket.D and N if you are reading an email with photos will be there soon.
Today I am a Mum trying to be brave, but also a mum very, very thankful that my J has found such a lovely partner to live with , love and travel with in the future.( they intend returning to NZ at the end of 2011 ) After 2 years they are still happy to be together, so long may it last for them ( sniff sniff )

Ali, I can sympathise - our younger son lives and loves in Toronto, Canada which is on the far flung side of the universe from here. We miss our children very much, don't we, but are glad they are happy.
Oh!! so great he is happy and settled nothing worse than the worry of children who are unsettled.. done that been there!..but the heart ache of them being away never leaves you, you just learn to live with it..God bless the internet and Skype.
Aww Alison, sending you lots of love, i know how hard the distance can be. xxxx p.s where is that park i don't think we would recognise it over there now. xxxx
I love your sentiments at the end! Isn't that all, as parents, that we wish for our children? That they find someone who will be good to them and who they can be good to in return? They'll be back home before you know it!
Sounds like you're planning a trip to the UK! That'll give you fodder for lots of interesting posts! Glad you had such a nice visit and have given The Mom Seal of Approval!
I so know what you mean...I miss my dear one so badly when he leaves...depressing, so I keep very busy, busy helps!
Green with envy, at the sight of your silverbeet! I love it.
I know how it feels when young fly off from the nest.
It must be terrible to have your child living so far away from you.
