Just a couple more - I promise :)

Just a couple more piccies from the Open Gardens day - there were quite a few garden ornaments and statues around - these two were nicely lit by the afternoon sun but many of the other were either completely overgrown/overshadowed or too way out there for my liking.

What I'd really like to know is... why are so many garden statues of naked or semi naked ladies? I'm guessing these are based on some classical (and probably famous) statues of a certain era but I don't understand why an 80 year old lady would want these staring at her from the corners of her shrubbery! Now don't get me wrong - I'm not a prude or embarrassed by nudity (remind me to tell you about getting changed in a busy public car park one day!) but I suppose my classical education must be severely lacking or something. I just don't 'get it' when it comes to stuff like this.

I have a garden statue but I haven't photographed it for some reason - maybe I should do that and post it so you can tell me you don't 'get' my taste! LOL

The Postcard Game - all for a good cause

Just found a link to Jennifer's blog where she is organising a Postcard Game. Basically send her a postcard or two and she will allocate a number and post it on her blog so if you make your own postcards, it's a bit of extra marketing! She is going to donate $1 per postcard received to Ovarian Cancer Action - a UK charity trying to get the word out about ovarian cancer in the UK.

And if donating all that cash to the charity wasn't enough, she's also offering some wonderful jewellery as prizes.

Pop along and have a look at all the rules/details.

Update: the link for Ovarian Cancer Action is http://www.ovarian.org.uk/ - Ovarian cancer is apparently called the silent killer in that it is hard to diagnose and may be mistaken for menopausal symptons. This website has some good info that all women should be as aware of as they are aware of breast cancer.
say PANTS to Ovanrian Cancer!!
