Just checking I remember what to do !

I've had a new laptop since before Christmas and am still trying to work out how to do things. Google+ seems to have changed out of all recognition and it has taken me a long time to find my pics let alone  do anything with them. I have written and deleted this post already because having struggled to get a pic to load onto it, I then found it impossible to add text.
Anyway, for the person (s)? who hasn't given up looking at my blog , here is a pic of a present from my DH  - at least I hope that is what is going to attach ! Clicking on the picture icon gives me the option of uploading from my phone - my attempt to drag the image from my desktop to this post only succeeded in pinning it to Google chrome so goodness knows where that is!
Ah well, nothing ventured, nothing gained as the cliche goes -         
Well the pic appeared but my efforts to add text beneath it are in vain - no cursor anywhere except where I left off - presumably the image will move down rather than let me write all over it - it used to be so easy in the 'old days' !

RHS Bug House



As my friend has given up posting on this blog, and I have not yet carried out my threat of posting a rather embarrassing photograph of her on here of her bahaviour at an EG Christmas lunch, thought I would add yet another bug house instead!! This one was at Wisley.

On the Plastic

Think there were teasels in one of the bottles

Good use for old wellies
This was part of the Bug Hotel at Croft Castle.  The sun was in the wrong position to take a picture of the whole thing, but it was impressive.

Grid Lock

How about this for a bit of inspiration for you based on a 'Grid' theme?

Work in Progress

Berrington Hall are currentluy making an Auricula Theatre in their walled garden and this is as far as it had got.  The blackboard has a rought sketch of rows of flowerpots on it to give the impression of what it could look like!!  The wonderful wall behind was home to lots of bees popping in and out.  They looked like honey bees, but guess they were more likely to be masonry bees.
