In your comment on the previous post, Ziggi, you sounded miffed. Can’t think why, when you have that lovely orchard and what gardeners call “the extended view.” Horses for courses, I s’pose…Oh, yes! and you’ve got those, too. Now I’m depressed!
Is this what you wanted?( For those who don’t know, I made this for a bit of a blog- laugh last year.) Some twit (wonder who?) apparently removed the original picture from the post on October 8, 2007 so this is it again.
Maybe you’d prefer the pretty, dressed-up dolls?
The one with the snazzy red-striped stockings belongs to a friend; the other one is mine. Both made by the same woman. I bought mine last year in Auckland.
Now, I have looming deadlines so this is all for now.
Ciao!

You’re a doll for posting this. (OK, I’m out of practice. I’ll crawl back in my hole.)

Oh, I love your dolls! I did come looking for the post you said you had with the dolls, but there was no picture. I was sad. I thought you had removed it.
Your doll turned out so much better than mine, I think. Maybe I will try again another time. I’ve always wanted to make one of those meaningful, wise, “crone-type” dolls, too.

Hey Di, probably my last chance to say hello before I go to NZ for a month. Can’t wait but before I go, I’m patiently ploughing my way through a consignment of 52 books I have to send off tomorrow. Seems never ending but I guess by tomorrow they’ll be in a few nice stacks and I’ll be feeling pleased. Like your dolls. xx

I didn’t mean to sound miffed! I love your gardening posts (and FN’s) but I do weeds and mud as you know! When I win the lottery I shall employ Capability Brown meanwhile I’d like some of those great big daisies. Not the medium sized margaritas (??) but the enormous ones that are obviously no longer fashionable because I can’t find them anywhere! What are they called Di?

Yes, I know you like garden stuff and that you’re just p.o.’d with Wiltshire weather.Bank Hols, too!
As to that daisy. It looks like a tree dahlia, but I don;t know what it really is. I do know that I’ll be paying a hefty price FOREVER as it drops seeds everywhere and also strikes readily from broken bits.Where did I get it? Picked an armful beside a country road(it’s all over the shire!)and poked the twigs into the ground.
I think you meant to write marguerites, but I suggest you stay with margaritas! And pour one for me, please!
donn…well, thankee kindly, sir!
