Thank you for the piano, Jane. We need another piano here and this piano looks good for us.
I am almost finished with my arrangement of Valse.

George, I don't know what is English bluebell wood. Is it a special tree? Sad

I am happy because we played with French horn and it sounded really good. We have bassoon, piano, flute and horn. We had music by Brod who I never heard before. It sounded like early Chopin (there was polonaise section). I really loved this combination. If we only can find clarinet player we can do Rimsky-Korsakov quintet.

When in doubt, wash.

Here's a bluebell wood t-p.

Gorgeous isn't it?

I'm thrilled you've nearly finished your arrangement. Do hope your fellow musicians enjoy playing it with you. Looking forward to receiving a recording of it one day!

Love

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

You may get your wish, Jane (with regard to Valse). If we make recordings of our ensemble I am going to send it to you.
Of course, I realize now that Blue Bells are flowers. I just forgot. Thank you for a beautiful picture.

i posted this on the shampoo thread by accident Sad

... now, what i was going to say...in the right thread...


Nature is great, think I may go live on a motorhome like my friend Alan so I can immerse myself in the countryside and awake to radio 3 in the mornings while enjoying a natural view in a kind of 'mahler would have liked this' way

But if you're listening to Radio 3 while in your rural idyll, Lord Byron, you won't be able to hear the birds singing.

May be Lord B is of an opinion that nature needs improvements of civilization.

Are you happy today, Mary? It is a glorious day here today. I have to do my home duties. I just came from the shop.
But it is so good to meet you in a Happy Room. I could not resist posting something.

Nice to see a wood that looks like it has English Bluebells in it.

Please compost any pale blue varieties you have

Hasta la Vista, BabyBlueBell

I am fairly happy, t-p, or as happy as anyone can be who has to have a new sink installed tomorrow, and decorators in next week, but now I have to worry about bluebells. I've just had a look at mine, and I think they are mostly the right sort (they are scented and the right blue), but probably some hybrids too, and a few are white or pink. I'm certainly not going to compost them - sorry, Tommo - because whatever they are, they are beautiful.

OK Mary, but please do not let them spread and take over the English Bluebell space.  Spanish bluebells are like the Grey Squirells of the plant world.

Thanks

Where are your blue Bells, Mary? Are they in your garden? Do you buy seeds then?
I saw seeds of wild flowers in garden shop. I think I want to plant them next year. (It is late this year and I have no time).
May be harsh winter makes them pink? We did not have a harsh winter. Then may be mild winter makes them pink.

Spanish invasion from the south I take it.
In Russia we had this flowers that were called bells


There are many variaties, but they have to be blue for some reason.

My garden is full of bluebells, but I didn't plant them - they have been there since we moved in almost 30 years ago. They tend to spread, and I let them rampage unchecked - I like them, and I don't like too-tidy gardens (which is just as well!)

I think your last picture looks like what we call harebells. They are wild, and I've never seen one in a garden. Very lovely. I associate them with high moorland and dry grassy places.

Oh dear, now I feel guilty. I do see the parallel with grey squirrels - are the Spanish bluebells as dominant? I find it quite hard to tell the difference, except the white and pink ones are obviously differently made, very stiff.

t-p, that looks like a Pulmonaria. In this country it is known rather the rather unattractive name of Lungwort. It is a lovely plant and one of the first to arrive in Spring. If you have it in your garden, be happy!, because that plant certainly is!

I don't have it any Lungwort in my garden. I wish you all could come here and tell me what to do with the monster trees. They are good for privacy, but don't like to be cut. They are bloking the sun and up to the second floor.
I think somehow this problem will solve itself. May be I should cut them down, but the cost of it will be scary.

i am not going to worry about them, I am in a happy room after all. Everything is beautiful and nice here. Good day to everyone from me.
