Bill and Ben

Today was going to be a quiet day, but I decided to do a batch cook of various meals to stock up the freezer again. So I have spent all day cooking and washing up. I think I am going to veg out and watch the television tonight.

David was tackling our rather overgrown garden, which after our recent rains and storms and then unseasonal warm weather, made everything grow like wildfire.

Bill and Ben sit on a stump of a tree in our garden and it would seem that the rain and sun have caused a large mushroom garden to appear, so I decided to use this as my picture for today.

If there are fairies at the bottom of our garden and they live under mushrooms, this city is larger than Sydney. There are mushrooms appearing everywhere at the moment.

I love the title. My kids used to love that show on the ABC when they were little. And that certainly is a LOT of mushrooms. Bill and Ben are certainly fungi's. (Sorry I couldn't help myself)

[Kathie]

Fun shot. The mushrooms add wonderful texture to Bill and Ben's stump. They can just reach down for a snack, too.

[Molly]

Great shot and a trip down memory lane. Used to love this programme when I was little!

Very nice. I thought at first that the mushrooms were flat rocks.

@annied Thanks Annie, there are mushrooms everywhere in our garden at the moment. Haven't spotted any fairies yet though.

[Babs]

@derekvickers
Thanks so much for the fav Derek. I can't believe how many mushrooms there are here at present.

[Babs]

@gerry Thanks so much for the fav Gerry.

[Babs]

@elaine55 I can remember the original Bill and Ben. Ageing myself now.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. That part of the garden had got quite overgrown after our recent storms and then unseasonal warm autumn.

[Babs]

@lilminimonka They were Brianna and I can remember the original Bill and Ben too.

[Babs]

@gigiflower Thanks Sam. so many mushrooms around at the moment.

[Babs]

@flyrobin Thanks Robyn.

[Babs]

@anazad511 Thanks so much for the fav. There are so many mushrooms here at present. Pity the blue tongue lizards have gone to bed for the winter now they would have a field day here.

[Babs]

@darthkitty @lynnz @net @ethelperry @lafish Thank you all so much. I just love mushrooms

[Babs]

@eyesmile Thanks Gena, yes they are all the same. Different types though around the garden. Not sure what this variety are called.

[Babs]

@karlow75 Thanks so much Kane. Thanks for the smile with the joke, but don't give up the day job, ha ha.

[Babs]

@kathiecb Thanks Kathie. Good thinking. I hadn't thought of them eating the mushrooms. I thought they would be left for the fairies.

[Babs]

@dolphin @happypat @neatz @jackie8 Thanks so much, glad I brought back memories, I remember the original Bill and Ben too.

[Babs]

@hermann @april16 @golftragic @dgrynn @cljs @leestevo @888rachel
Thanks so much, there are so many mushrooms around at the moment, probably after our rain and then unseasonal warm weather.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. You remember the original Bill and Ben too then! I loved it and Andy Pandy and then the Woodentops. Oh dear getting nostalgic now.

[Elaine]

Me too Babs!

[Marnie]

@onewing I was too old (teenage superior!) for Bill and Ben, but my (much younger) sisters watched them.
