round and round the garden

brian and david took out in the garden the other week - not their garden of course which is filled up with the playhouse of the people downstairs and populated not only by occasional children, but - worse - frequent foxes!

no, we went to a place called marle place gardens (funny that, a place called 'place'!) and while there i had a bit of swing...

swing-time
met some strange birds...

and had a chat with humpty dumpty who, i'm glad to report, is back on his wall...

humpty dumpty sat on a wall...
i also found myself on the horns of a dilemma...

on the horns of a dilema
...at least that's what brian said it was and he ought to know because he's been on them often enough!

the photos are by brian - he insists i put that in, he says for copyright reasons, but we all know its just feeding his vanity! - and you can see more of his and david's garden snaps (though i've no idea why you'd want to!) on his flickr album, up the garden path.

You look really comfy there, Buttons. Hope you didn't get too grubby though - especially when sitting beside Humpty.

not grubby at all! humpty was very clean - though a bit odd! and, as you know, living as i do, i know about odd!

Very pretty, I'm sure.

R&S are going to the garden at Wisley today and if me and some of my friends hadn't been celebrating Brian's birthday a bit over-enthusiastically in the early hours of this morning, I might have been taken along too.

PS
I don't think someone who seems to have at least 3 photos of themselves on each blog is in a position to make comments about the vanity of the photographer.

That's a low blow, Buttons Hippo. You might not be aware of it, but Buttons No1 has to pose for all these photos under threat of being superglued if he doesn't.

Buttons Hippo said...

Gosh, SharonM - Superglue!!

I take it all back ...

yes, buttons hippo, it's not exactly a bed of roses living with these two... you had a lucky escape, you know.
