We are sending Googie so much love, and are thinking of your beloved Dad whilst he is poorly and wishing him well. Googie you are such a huge inspiration to so many people including myself and I can see where Georgie gets her incredible creativity, love of colour, and determination from. For the mysterious plant my money is on a pink fairy slipper orchid, other names are Calypso, or Venus’s slipper. The conifer tree with its brown tips could be Dothistroma needle blight. It is found in the UK and effects black pine, Scott’s Pine and Bishops Pine. Thank you Mrs Kind from Canada, if you read this, what a generous lady you are, the quilt Googie made looks stunning. ❤

I'm 79. And instead of the paint stripper, I use a plastering tool, or is it a cementers tool, for cleaning my steps and paving. It's my favourite tool. It's has a wooden comfortable handle. And you can dig a bit with it when you need to. It costs a little bit more,except I think mine came from my father's tools, or a junk sale. Tell your Mum. It's brilliant.

Yes, I’m a boomer too and had much the same experience. This old house was a time warp when we bought it, lots of post war hardboard employed to shutter away Victorian fireplaces & features to save dusting all the twiddly bits, but endearing things too like glass finger plates on the doors where the children of the house in the 1920s had painted flowers on the reverse. The old lady who sold it to us was the last of those children and had lived a pretty Spartan existence. We bonded over her amazing garden, which I promised to take care of, and I have. x
