I think I'm calling that a wrap! #jffbook Imperial Shuttle Tydirium is up and in flight mode. As a kit from 1983, I knew there would be some fit issues & I enjoyed incorporating the lighting set as well. It's been an enjoyable & at times stressful build, but I'm pleased 😀

I think these fit for #SixWeeksOfColour blues and purple flowers in my garden #cardiff #gardenshour

Joey Barton's claim that the England Women's football team isn’t equal with the men’s proved right, as the Lionesses actually win tournaments

Plenty of #wildlife activity in #garden last night, two hedgehogs, adukt frog's & froglets emerging from #pond

R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne.

Amazing as always, @alicecooper simply blew the roof of in #Cardiff tonight and lovely touch to mark #ozzyosbourne passing at the end. As always, if you are seeing him & the band on this tour, you are in for a treat.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne #Ozzy

Last pictures for tonight's #gardenshour beetroot crop coming on and 🐝 on cosmos #cardiff

Spotted this Emperor or Southern Hawker #Dragonfly in my garden this week, after saving it from my kitchen #gardenshour so stunning 😍 never seen one so close up. Resting on my pond reeds before flying off. #cardiff

I love the #sunflowers in my garden #GardensHour at the moment. They are so vibrant & a draw for bees and insects. Can sit for hours and watch them at work.

This week, I've mostly been harvesting and starting to dry my white and red onion crop ready for storage for use #GardensHour #cardiff #growyourown

My sweet peas finally come into bloom this week @GardensHour #cardiff keep picking them for maximum impact

Today, I have been mostly sorting my red & white #onion crop for storage. Firstly, by drying them in potting shed fof few weeks. #harvest #growyourown any damaged or hard neck ones will get used immediately.

I am very pleased with my #allotment #cardiff #potatoes harvest 2nd earlies Charlotte's if I recall & red onion "Red Barron" #growyourown should last a while.

My #garden #beetroot crop keeps on giving #homegrown roast this little lot for side dish with supper tonight.

. @BDSdragonflies seen today #Cardiff can you identify please? #Thanks #diolch

Just saved this stunning female Emperor #Dragonfly from my kitchen. Once outside, she rested on reads in my pond to recover, then flew off. It's so impressive. I haven't seen one this close-up before #cardiff #NaturePhotography

Oh dear @DCMS It’s 1944, not 1945. It’s just north of Imphal. The advancing 2nd Division from Kohima meets the 5th Indian Division from Imphal…

That was my first #GardensHour experience. Really enjoyed it, learning & chatting with fellow gardeners. Thanks for the interaction 😀 see you next week.

This was my big winter project for 2025 #GardensHour completely rebuilding large raised bed on patio. Backbreaking work back in January, but I really enjoyed the challenge & learnt great deal. Tested by limited carpentry skills 👌
