    Hi all.

    Officially Autumn here, as flock of about 20 Redwings munching berries in one of the Yew trees this morning.

    I shall be departing soon for my jollies.

  • Hostafan1 says:

    isn't EVERYONE cheaper than Notcutt's and Wyevale?

    See original post

     Yes, but usually when you take petrol etc into account they work out the same as other places for me as OH works next door to Notcutts and I used to work next door to Wyevale.  But as MIL is virtually next door to her local GC the bargains really are bargains image

    Crikey Hosta- forward thinking customers or deliveries chief.  Can't imagine having to rely on deliveries for Xmas and being told none available.

    Sunny here again after a threatening, cloudy but finally faint promise of an evening.  Messing with furniture again for me and OH is weeding the potager - the bit as yet unbedded, unplanted, unpathed.  Mega job.

    All garden centres I've found here seem expensive and full of ordinary plants so it looks like I'll be sowing my own plants from the hoard of seeds I brought.

    Morning all.
    Has rained quite a lot.

    Garden Centres here in Dordogne are quite expensive too and the range of plants is basic. Often the variety isn't marked, just Delphinium or Phlox, with a photo of the colour on the label.

    Went for coffee with friends this morning, quiet day otherwise.

    It's been raining all day here Hosta. Not enough to give everything a cleansing soak (if only car cleaning worked like that) just enough to stop us doing anything outside.

  • Hi 2nd grandaughter works in China and the chinese friend she made loves Eeyore so much that she is called Eeyore. Gandaughter herself is crazy over w the p and her quilt cover is winnie and i crosstichted her the four seasons of wthep and friends. I have just been told I am now type 2 diabeted so I am now waiting for my diet plan which I get on Monday to tell me what i can and can'not eat. We are having very windy days and we are coming into Spring but we still have water rationing as we have been in drought rationing andnow we are only allowed to use 55litres each a day.The garden has to manage on what water we have left over.
