GannieMo from South West France

Hi Mo--I still get a tug at my heartstrings when I look at your photo of Houpette ...
We're headed to France in one week! Will be staying for three days near Rocamadour, planning to see Sarlet, Saint Cirq Lapopie, maybe the Lascaux caves, possibly do some cycling. Have you any suggestions of anything we absolutely must see? Restaurant recommendations? (I'm not quite sure if this is exactly your neck of the woods, so forgive me if my questions are daft!) Hope all is well with you and your lovely garden!

Mo - What a heavenly garden you have! Love the views, too. You pictures of Sammie remind me so much of my cheeky little devil, Panda. We have almost an acre and beyond our property lots more acreage for her to do her "duty" in...but she LOVES my planted and groomed areas best!

Ganniemo - Your flowers are just beautiful! What a garden it must be.

Your garden is a little piece of heaven on earth! How beautiful! Would dearly love to stroll through it!

Hi Mo! Your garden looks lovely. A lot of hard work went into creating a peaceful setting with beautiful roses. Good on you!

You have some very beautiful photographs on Flickr! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Mo! I just enjoyed a stroll through your garden. You have done an amazing job of transforming a piece of land into a delightful garden. And I'm sure it will just continue to get better & better. Thanks for showing us around. Please let us know when you add more pics.

Thanks so much for asking. I'd love to be included. Please feel me in on details and I'll be their with virtual bells on.

fill*, there*.

GannieMo, woohoo! Yes, I'm game for it!!! Just tell me what I should do! Wow Billy getting married!

PS, love the rose. That's one that I would select too! That and the Evelyn Baugh one too, similar but paler and has a strong fragrance.

A roving hen party for Billy sounds intriguing. Tell me more!!

Hi Mo...you know me...always up for a party...have probably missed out on all the fun at this late hour...obviously I should have started reading here before catching up on easy...haven't done any reading for a few days.

I can't find any party animals anywhere...feel free to cruise on over to my place...plenty of wine to help us all party.

I was gobbsmacked with the beauty of Yolande d'Aragon...does she smell as good as she looks? She is deeper in hue to Mary Rose / Chaucer [or any of those fair damsels] which is really good...must look out for her.

hehehehe

Whoa! Gail, GannieMo, you two are sooooo hard to keep up with! But I got you Gail!!! Sneaky, sneaky girl. Wonder if GannieMo has caught on? She was just on my page a few seconds ago!

Your latest photos are stunning, Mo. I wish I could borrow your green thumb. I've already had to replace some things in my garden that I just planted a few weeks ago!

When are you planning the hen night party Mo? I will be around off and on over the next few days as I have a busy weekend end ahead of me. Both of my children turn twenty so I'm having a party for them over the weekend. Twenteen again as they keep saying! Let me know what you are planning, cheers x

Just visited your roses GannieMo. They are gorgeous! My favourite is the striped pink and white one or the pink one with all the petals. I can't decide, maybe I'll have both. My dad grows beautiful roses although he insists on red and white ones only. Maybe that's why I like the pink ones so much .

Seems like I was neglectful in thanking you for the heads up about Billy's marriage...How wonderful, Thanks...I was able to at least leave a message on her page. Guess the party can always be held later since you weren't really feeling up to snuff....hope you are soon on the road to full recovery.
I'm trying to arrange things so that I can get to the Florida meet, wish you could make that one and I'd finally get to meet you too...but someday perhaps......

Mo, your roses are beautiful! I have always been partial to yellow roses and Melissa is my grand daughter's name.
Thank you for sharing.

I can almost smell the roses! Beautiful!
Hope your vertigo is going, going, gone!
Does it stem from an ear problem? They often find that is a cause.

Mo, your rose garden is magnificent, a real credit to the effort you have put into it.
Congratulations.

Thank you so much for the lovely birthday wishes.
I was amazed that so many had taken the time to help me celebrate.No,I didn't go out on the town,but Hubby my 2 kids & 5 grandies celebrated with dinner together at daughters place.
I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Thanks for the lovely anniversary wishes, Mo. I have (virtually) meandered through your garden and picked the most beautiful bouquet of roses that I have ever seen!

Yes, GMo! There are rocks and then there are rocks! I collect both kinds! Hubby got me a very nice ruby & diamond ring for our 40th 'ruby' anniversary.

You have been tagged! Please play...

Thought of you with a smile as I was loading up the cart with flowers today. Planting in earnest begins tomorrow, as does putting out the patio furniture and taking the hard top off the Miata. It was so delightful to speak with you, Mo, and to take in some of the dramatic beauty of your part of France. We truly enjoyed our vacation and will be talking about it for a long while. We're just in the process of getting our photographs developed so I hope I can get those onto Flickr soon. I'm sure you're out enjoying your garden, and once I get everything planted and the weeds yanked, I will too! Tomorrow night, when all the chores are done, hubby and I will raise a glass of Vouvray to you!

You have a magnificent rose picture as the main picture on your page - at the time of writing.
Has Ian seen that?

Mo, thanks for the birthday greeting, so nice to hear from so many on my special day. Hubby and I have a day of shopping and lunch planned for today, so not a bad way to spend the day. I will not have to cook, nice enough.

That rose on your page, Oh my, lovely. Reminds me of a rose my Mom had. she could not grow anything, poor dear, but had this one lovely running rose along the fence that thrived on neglect, a two color red and yellow, with HUGE long perfectly shaped buds and a delicious smell. It was called Talisman. I once found one grower that about once every 3 years offered it still. I do hope someday to have one of them again. Your rose brings back sweet memories.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, Mo. I had a couple of wisdom teeth out many years ago and the swelling didn't go down for almost two weeks! Nasty business, so I hope you take good care of yourself. I sympathize and hope you heal soon.

Hi Mo. Do you ever sell Pandora bracelets and charms? Just a thought as I would like to buy one in the near future and your name sprung to mind. I hope your mouth is feeling better now. I've just had a crown done and that was bad enough! Take care xx

hello GannieMo. it sure was nice of you to give the BBQ tips. I don't see anything wrong with what the man has to do when he does all the HOT work. only kidding. I do all the work when I BBQ including buying and all the prep work. thanks though for the thought

GMo if I don't do the shopping no telling what I'll be fixing.

Gannie Mo, thanks for your birthday wishes.
Love your rose photo.

for the sweet and thoughtful birthday wishes! Going to take a day off from the rock and have some fun.
It is such a treasure to have friends from all over the world sending birthday greetings - thank you!
PS (Sourpuss sends a big kiss!)

Hope this find's you well missed you today on the comments, almost never comment any more but still enjoy your comments and wit, still lurkin

Kevin!!

Your roses are so beautiful there, GM. We have had many bushes, but our soil is not rose friendly.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know, your workman stories, make me feel better. That is not nice to say, but you are so lucky, you have a choice to possibly replace your workmen. We have been renovating for the past 5-ish years and nothing is completed. I cannot fire my workman, since I also sleep with him. I do not recommend this setup. Really makes it hard to fire and replace him.
Best of wishes for getting your tasks done.

Hi, Mo! I've missed your witticisms the past few days and hope that you are all right. If you're on holiday, you really must notify us so we don't worry!!! ♥ Jane

Thnx Mo for the note.
As you already knew, still nothing comes out.
There's a saying it will take time.
But Mo, it takes so looooooooooooooooooong.

Glad to see you around Mo, hope all is going well with the building work, no doubt that has been keeping you busy. Take care x

Great youtube...
