Greetings Beanieholice. What a strange summer we are having fo far. Very dry and sunny but with very little let-up with the contstantly blowing wind. When we get cloud, and it looks like it will rain, it doesn't happen - or not enough to do any good. The garden desperately needs a good drop of rain. No amount of water from the hosepipe seems to have the same effect on the plants.

I didn't think much of those gale force winds we had last week.

Having spent the last year trying to make the garden look nice, just as most of the plandts were coming to their peak a lot of them were taken down by the wind. I spnt 5 1/2 hours out there the day after, just cleaning up the debris and trying to resurect some of the flattened plants.

Right, now onto tis months new Beanie Babies. Would you believe there is a massive record breaking 22 new Beanies this month !! Here goes:-
