    It's true though, isn't it? Too many shapes on the same lines don't add much drama. I confess I heard this saying a long time ago, I think it was originally said by Beth Chatto. I may have room to put a tea rose in the middle of the bed. I'd never thought of a rose! I can see my garden is...

    Melissa I agree completely with what you have written about colour. My pet hate is a medium pink with a medium yellow, but as you rightly point out take different shades and put them together and they are beautiful. Then you have to take into consideration the time of flowering and the shape of...

    Sorry to hear about your mum! Hope she's much better now. Don't worry about the palms. These things happen! You must be exhausted! Best wishes to your mum and look after yourself too!

    You're welcome Elena. Thanks Harma and Melissa. I usually plant in the autumn too Melissa. I cannot resist buying plants though and usually resort to moving them into a bigger pot until the time is right. Having said that, the way the weather is these days it would have been better to plant...

    We call a string trimmer a strimmer in England and the Dandelion head is called a clock because children blow on it and however many puffs it takes to disperse the seeds that's what the time is. Four puffs = 4 0'clock. How long do tree peonies flower for Melissa? They have attractive leaves...

    I forgot to say my sister is running in the London Marathon on Sunday in aid of cancer. I couldn't walk it let alone run it, so a big :hands13: for her and all the others running to raise money to fight this horrible illness. If anyone would like to contribute they can go to...

    I must remember never to take a plane to Genova! Hello Michela :Saluto: According to www.phrases.org.uk, chin up is an American expression. It just means to be courageous and to soldier on is to carry on with determination. Well today it is raining, again! I don't want to be...

    Belvedere great to see you back, chin up and soldier on! Elena it's a long time since I last heard the expression 'good night, sleep tight'! My mother always used to say that to us when we were small :cry: memories! As for the book depository, I've been using them for quite a while and...

    Harma you mean a social assistant? It seems impossible that you were laid off work! Melissa flying to the UK can be very cheap these days. If you are fairly flexible with dates, Ryanair do some really cheap flights. Of course, there's the expense of a place to stay, but London isn't...

    No offence taken! England isn't to everyone's taste! Do you mind if I correct your excellent English? We don't usually say 'beautiful impression', but a 'great impression'. If you're studying English, don't you do any conversation? I know it's different when you find a 'victim' to practise on...

    Ahem. Hello Roberto, I'm afraid our English weather isn't very cheerful, but it suits us. We love to complain about our weather. Well done Melissa for noticing allegoric isn't an adjective. Harma, what do you do? I'm sorry I can't remember!

    Oops, I see Elena has already corrected you there. Elena, there are many books in English that are easier versions of the originals. Black cat publish lots of different titles for students at various levels. You can buy them second hand very cheaply on Ebay.

    Perhaps allegoric would be better than allegory.

    Well done Luca and well done Elena :hands13: I would add in the sentence where Elena has corrected deep to depth - depth of some OF THE philosophical thoughts etc. Sorry, I'm not very clever with the computer so I'll limit any corrections to large letters. I would also add after 'a more...

    Melissa I was thinking of David Austin not Graham Thomas! Yes, I've seen the rose named after G.T. Absolutely beautiful. Luca you have a a wonderful chance to learn more languages! It's much less 'painful' to learn by being involved in a language than having to sit in a classroom and study...
