My wonderful hanging baskets have some unwelcome guests!
If you look carefully you will see some dead leaves. This is because some critters have taken a liking to my nasturtiums.
InitiallyI tried washing up liquid solution but have since given them a good spray of bug stuff! So they should be safe now!
What's that you cry? Show us your nasturtiums Denise....
Oh allright then! LOL!
Yesterday..............
I saw a little lady bug flying in the air,
But when I tried to catch her, two bugs were there.
Two little lady bugs flew up in a tree.
I tiptoed very quietly, and then I saw three.
Three little lady bugs - I looked for one more.
I saw one sitting on the ground, that made four.
Four little lady bugs - another one arrived.
I saw her sitting on a flower, and that made five.
Five little lady bugs, all red and black -
I clapped my hands and shouted, and they all flew back!
You will be glad to know we went out on the motorbike, but we got absolutely soaked.
We were heading towards Easingwold, a village just outside York.
We got there via Blakey. Blakey is the most remote part of the moors. As we headed away from Castelton the heavens opened and we went through a hail storm. Pressing on through another torrential downpour the sun finally appeared just outside Thirsk and stayed with us.
At Easingwold we arrived here in the sunshine and purchased an addition to the Nesbitt household.....
her name is Belinda and we will be collecting her later in the week!
To celebrate we had a lovely lunch!
Congratulations to...
Dragonstar, Leslie and Miss Yves.
Your names were pulled out of my give away.
Please let me have your addresses so I can pop your garden cards in the post.
It is Sunday, we are off out this afternoon....dropping off the cheque for Belinda!
Can you guess what she is?

Belinda must be a new puppy - hope Wilma approves.
Ooo! I'm delighted to be a lucky winner! E-mail following with my address!
Belinda ... I wonder ... no, no good guessing, I'm sure we'll all find out in time!
Have your nasturtiums attracted the attention of the Large White butterfly? Their caterpillars decimated ours last year.
Another goose?
Gerald.....
Not a puppy,
Dragonstar...
watch the post! You will know when it arrives! LOL! The lady in the post office always smiles when I take a package in!
Cherrypie...
No, not a goose....
I love lady bugs forever- lovely header. Hi wilma Ella
Is Belinda a Kitty?
That would be a lovely name for a little kitten.
Bear((( )))
Just wait till those fuzzy caterpillers find the flowers...
Belinda! Another goose?
A baby goat! lol!
Bear naked...No not a kitty! Ella is an independent puss!
Blue, no! Yes I have seen a few cabbage white butterflies hunting down a spot to lay some eggs!
Libby..
LOL but no, not a goat
Gee thanks Denise! I'll be emailing shortly with my address. What fun!
Belinda....mmmmm....a BUNNY!

Is Belinda a chicken coming to lay lots of eggs for you both?
The suspense is too much!
Leslie,
Not a bunny...Ella eats those!
Starnitesky...
No, not a chicken! Wilma eats those!
I'm gonna guess a doggy, well cuz I love doggies ;-)
Hope the spraying takes care of the flowers - they are too beautiful to be destroyed.
Belinda must be either a new puppy or a new motorcycle. May be a Vesper kind??? (Thinking of the petrol prices.)
Denise, pop on over to collect an award!
What kind of critters, do you know??? My sweet peas have gone the same way :^(
Belinda is such a pretty name ... could you be getting a new puppy???
Hope your plants have survived the critter attack!
If you would like to visit my Camera Critters, they are here and here.
I am still waiting on Belinda ;-)
