I like cars ... at one stage in my varied career I worked for a Hot Rod driver ... he let me drive his TVR Tuscan road car ... it was gorgeous .... I was only seventeen
but, a road carthat can do 0 - 60 mph in 3 seconds ....... WHY??? Whatever is the point?
Hopefully Joyce's daughter is with her ... so sad Thinking of them all.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Have I now dismissed the image of the sunny Aussie climate? I've heard all sorts of misconceptions over the years and am always surprised. And, by the way, we don't share our main streets with Crocodiles and kangaroos.
Yvie, I'm amazed at your Mother's age. Well done her. My sister had her 82nd birthday last week. We had a long telephone conversation for her special day.shes got several great grandchildren.
Just back from visiting. Talla getting the hang of it very well now She worked really hard today so,
as a treat, afterwards we bought an ice lolly and took it to the walled garden. What a surprise that was!
one of the loveliest gardens I have seen. So peaceful.
still no baby from the London family, poor girl 5 days over with No2. She is getting fed up. As they live close to Wimbledon I came home for a couple of weeks. The hotel prices rocketed!

Very good wishes for the best outcome,for Joyce, your "gardening family" is with you in spirit. The news, well OH is sure he could do the build for about £20!, but of course we need "cean" re-newable energy from some source. these ugly expensive to build and run, wind turbines are hardly ecological are they,? we have some we can see from the next road, the latest block fire in the capital is "believed" to have started at the solar panels.
PS, I HATE tennis, bores me silly, watching 2 people bash a ball back and forth, often accompanied by very strange noises, feel the same about football, motor racing cars going round a track!!!! I do play badminton,squash, but that different being active, and cycling, but dont want to watch it, someone friend says to me what does Wimbledon mean to you, me: strawberries,cream and champers, now you are talking.

Morning everyone! Sun and showers here, so lawn mowing may have to wait.
Yes, Dove, can't understand anyone wanting that sort of car... cars are for getting from A to B, with room to carry the odd plant, in my opinion.
PD, glad you're feeling a bit better. Hope the blood test problem is easily solved.
That's an impressive temperature graph, Pat! Hopefully we won't get any frost for a few months yet...
More good news, Hosta!
Oops. Luckily I discovered my natural history society walk is tomorrow, not today, before I set off for the rendezvous!
Hope those of you not yet 27 have a good day at work.
Thinking of you, Joyce xx
Dove, I looked after a garden for a guy once who had 3 McLaren F1 cars. They were £230K when new. Rowan Atkinson recently sold his for £8 million.

Popped in for a cuppa. All tomatoes have been tied up and "armpits shaved" I'll water and feed them when I go back up.
By the way, is anyone shocked by this news?

Has anyone heard from Joyce this morning?

Just arrived back from sm. Very quiet, just topping up. Hosta interesting article about Malta. You can forget some people are kept in the dark ages.
Not shocked, no, but definitely not happy about it. On so many levels.
Just read back a little - Joyce, I'm so sad to read your post. Still hoping for better news.
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
Morning all, Was up at 5 today wondering around the garden with a cuppa.
Lovely and peaceful but then I did go back to bed until 10.00
.
Nothing planned today just pottering in the garden. Been to see mum, she's fine just a few aches and pains (know how she feels) not bad for 95.
Thoughts are with Joyce, hope she is OK.
Agree about the car Dove, just can't see the point. Never even bought a new car, can't stand the smell of the interior for one thing it's awful.
We'll get there one day Hosta and everyone will wonder what the fuss was about. Gay partnerships/marriages will just become the norm.
Not envious of those temps Pat, I'm definitely a spring/summer person, hat the cold and damp.
Off for a browse before heading back out in the garden.
