It's subtitled 'Major Glenn Miller's Wartime Band'. Another car boot purchase. The first 78 record I bought had Moonlight Serenade on one side and American Patrol on the other.<br />Kath, I'm glad the Rosemary likes your soil.<br />The pond's OK, plenty of fish in it.<br />I feed the cats, birds and fish in the morning and badger(s) at night!! Never a dull moment.Sylvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181210810835897800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107112365381397932.post-37244272729674420792011-06-25T20:00:53.211+01:002011-06-25T20:00:53.211+01:00It all looks very lush Silve.

How's the pond doing?<br />I'd love some of those opium poppy seeds if you can send me some later in the year.<br />The Rosemary you gave me, has taken off and looks very healthy indeed.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107112365381397932.post-26309029440961366722011-06-25T19:33:59.739+01:002011-06-25T19:33:59.739+01:00I tried to enlarge that first picture for a better...I tried to enlarge that first picture for a better view, but - it didn't get any larger.<br />It looks very much like Lychnis or Rose campion.<br />Mine seeds all over the place. I tried the white version but it never self seeded. You could save seed which would germinate, but those scattered in the wild never survived the winter like the bright pink variety.<br /><br />I've just been reading your older post on Glenn Miller. Our organ group used to have a 'do' on the old airfield in Bedfordshire. There is a Glenn Miller museum there. Lots of WW2 memorabilia in the old huts. We have now re-located to a new venue at Milton Keynes.<br />Not so far to drive.Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.com
