Garden Visitor

This evening while watering the garden I encountered this fine fellow resting on the step of the conservatory.

The Further Adventures of Cecil

Cecil the Slightly Camp Garden Gnome has made a cameo appearance on this blog before when he went for a ride on a John Deere tractor, but now the show-tunes loving garden ornament has fallen victim to Rothmans, (pictured above wearing a very avantgarde pair of black sunglasses) who likes nothing more than grabbing Cecil from his usual resting place (out of sight of the house, as he is rather vulgar) and carrying him to her favourite lurking place outside the wendy house, where she will then sit and cuddle him for ages. What Cecil thinks of this isn’t known, partially because nobody has asked him, and partially because he is made of plastic.

While we are on the subject of Cecil, here he is showing a remarkably cheerful demeanor given that he is up to his waist in snow.

Relaxing Evening

I am on baby sitting duty tonight as Mrs Fleet is off at some meeting or other. Rothmans and Miss Fleet have gone to bed with surprising ease, so I have taken the opportunity to sit out in the garden with a nice Cuaba cigar and an equally nice glass of Rosé.

The picture quality isn’t great as I am using my Nokia E71 at the moment. I have an N85 as well, but I prefer the E71 for everything except it’s inferior camera.

Flowers

A few flowers from the garden, taking this morning with my Nokia N85.
