Looking out the window

Looking out the window

Just back from hols during the early hours of the morning, and now looking out to get some idea of what might need doing. It was a wise decision taking today off, we hadn't expected such long delays with technical faults and bad weather delaying our flight. The garden looks a total mess now that it is daylight. But not brave enough yet to get out there for a proper inspection. It's 'oh, so cold'. Today will be a day for acclimatizing, and catching up on what I have missed here. Good to be back.

Welcome back, Jacinta. 

Hope you had a good time. The weather here has certainly taken a turn to being cold since you went on holidays. You'll have to adjust, more clothes.

The garden will be fine.

BrunoCork BrunoCork 28 November 2011 13:35:00

Delighted you're back Jacinta. Garden.ie and Words with Friends wasn't the same without you.


Hoeys Hoeys 28 November 2011 14:03:55

HeadGardener HeadGardener 28 November 2011 14:29:01

Jacinta hope you had a great time I'm assuming the window you saw the palms out of was the one on holiday? :-)


Rachel Rachel 28 November 2011 14:48:16

Welcome home and do tell all. We could do with a bit of gossip and some cheery sunny photos!


kitty kitty 28 November 2011 15:44:57

welcome back jacinta, you were missed. hope you had a great holls. you didnt bring back the sunshine in your suitcase


Jacinta Jacinta 28 November 2011 15:47:14

Michelle, there was very little sunshine to bring back. I always thought Lanzarote was one place that sunshine was guaranteed. Sadly, that was not the case this time round. Lanzarote seems to be effected by climate change too.


Jacinta Jacinta 28 November 2011 15:47:34

Thanks everyone for the big welcome back.


Greta Greta 28 November 2011 16:36:58

Hi jacintaand welcome back. hope to hear all the gossip when i ring.


HeadGardener HeadGardener 28 November 2011 18:03:27

Jacinta sorry to hear the sun did'nt shine we've gone to Lanzarote and Gran Canaria and found Lanzarote much more windy and exposed which is nice in balmy July but not so good in December!!


Dick Dick 28 November 2011 18:25:34

Welcome home Jacinta. We missed you while you were away.


Kate & Graham Kate & Graham 28 November 2011 18:26:42

Welcome  back Jacinta


Jacinta Jacinta 28 November 2011 18:40:03

Bill, the sun did shine, but there was way more cloud than sun. The first week, we had about 5 days of rain, on and off. 


Myrtle Myrtle 28 November 2011 19:07:12

Welcome back! Sorry the weather wasn't all you had hoped but hope the break did you good.


fran m fran m 28 November 2011 20:21:08

Welcome back, pity about the weather but a good break had all the same I'm sure ;-))


Jacinta Jacinta 28 November 2011 20:23:01

Fran, for once the bad weather didn't get me down. It gave us the opportunity to go on lots of long walks, so even though it was a holiday, it was also a good leg-stretcher - something which I am usually very reluctant to do.

The second week wasn't too bad :) 


Keego Keego 28 November 2011 23:02:27

Big welcome back Jacinta glad you had a great time.


Jacinta Jacinta 29 November 2011 05:49:50

Thanks Mary. :)
