It's magnolia time in the garden but since my neighbour built his monstrous garden office we don't get the light coming through the blossoms in the evening. Anyway - they still look pretty against the house. It may feature again before al the petals fall off.
Another morning of gardening followed by an aborted walk as Monty didn't want to go and in the end I gave up fighting with him. I had to lift him out of the car when we got home and he was promptly very sick on the drive. To cut a long story short the vet diagnosed pancreatitis and gave him a couple of shots (painkiller and anti-emetic) and he has been pretty flaked out since.
