Memories-The Plant Pots.

Everyone knows how much Eric and Flynn loved their plant pots, but they didn't always have them.

They always enjoyed a nap in the greenhouse, and when the fuchsias were cut back and brought in for the winter they decided they made good beds.

It must have been more comfortable than it looked.

One day I had been weeding and picked up some long cut grass and put it in the pot and left it in the greenhouse.
Flynn decided that was a much better bed but Eric had to make do with the earth.

So we found another big pot so they had one each and filled them with hay.

They were both very happy to have their very own pots....

But of course every now and again they would still flatten the plants in the other pots just to prove a point.

They always went back to their very own pots though, and Ivor even built framework for them so they didn't topple over when they got in.

Eric's Day Flashback - Plant Pots.

This week the flashback comes from March 2011 and was originally called:

Back in the Old Routine.
Now the sunnier weather is here we have started going out in our plant pots again.

Did you want something mum?

That's right! Now you have disturbed us with the flashy box you will go off again without so much as an apology.

Eric's Day Flashback.

The flashback this week comes from March 2009.


I am taking a walk, and after I have finished sniffing the flowers.......

I may even pose for you.............

and then I will go to sleep.

Of course Flynn will join me in our big plant pots and we can snooze together.

Easy Like Sunday.

We are back in our plant pots. The weather is too wet for sunbathing so we are spending lots of time in the greenhouse.

It is much drier in here until mum waters the tomatoes, but she is careful not to water us too.

We have decided we no longer want to sleep in our nice comfy plant pots that mum filled with nice sweet hay, and that dad made a frame for so they can't tip over. No, we would rather sleep on the lily shoots and flatten them sideways. Really we are helping mum by getting them to grow faster. We did the same last year and when they got bigger and too uncomfortable to lie on, we went back into our own plant pots.

Wordless Wednesday

The Friday Flashback - Thanks Mum.

The Friday Flashback this week is from June last year. You probably all have seen our big plant pots. This is when we first had one each.

THANKS MUM.
Do you remember the great big plant pot we found in the greenhouse? Mum had put weeds and cut grass in it to throw away. We decided it was a good place furr napping but only one of us could get in at a time.Mum told us not to get to attached to it cuz it wuz soon going outdoors so she could put her tomato plants growing in the greenhouse.

Well, she didn't take it out, but she put another one in there as well, and put nice sweet horse hay in there furr us to sleep on. Look we have one each. We wuz hoping she wouldn't plant her tomatoes too quick.

Look what she did! She left our big plant pots furr us to nap in, and planted her tomatoes around them. That means we can come in here all summer and nap if we want to. Fanks mum, just make sure you don't water us when you water the tomatoes.
