Went to visit an NGS garden this afternoon, but the rain tipped down, had to wait a bit in the car for it to ease off. Nice garden though and so was the chocolate cake. Then we looked at a couple more villages in Norfolk and stopped at a pub for a half on the way home.
I think Possum is lucky to have such a mother
Hello Johnny Canoe and Dove. I hope to contact you soon, Dove, but after sister has been.
My birthday on Saturday, we will be going to Bury St Edmunds for lunch.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
So do I Busy and she's starting to realise it too! No flatmate tonight after all so I'm cooking us a proper spicy curry as there are no natives to worry about. Curries in Belgium tend to be very sweet and mild and have too much cochineal.
Glad you enjoyed your garden visit and cake. Still not used to French garden centres having no cake or coffee.
Plenty of good downpours here but no storms tho plenty forecast thru northern France as I drive home tomorrow. That'll slow me down but I hope won't be too big a problem tho i do have some high bridges and viaducts to cross. We've been out and about doing last bits of larder stocking and buying some fabric to cover her electric keyboard. Better get on and feed her.

Didn't visit Dad last night, he said he felt he'd be better off sleeping ? ....will go this evening instead. That meant I could go to my garden club talk about roses ???- very interesting guy from the hysterical rose society .....his joke, not mine
House seems to be filling with piles of stuff everywhere, as littlest chicklet gets ready to go off to Uni this Sunday (she's never been the tidiest of chicklets ?). It all seems to be getting rather close now
No storm here in the SE been quite pleasant, was busy out all day, got back about 3 thought start planting new bord, it rained! Maybe today nice and soft after the rain. Hope everyone is well
Good morning all , reasonable day , rain forecast this afternoon , going into Lincoln this morning , bit of shopping and meeting a friend for lunch at Wetherspoons , I fancy a vegatable curry ?
Good morning, nice to be back. Holiday was different sort of thing for us, we have come home exhausted!
What a lot you have all been up to, have tried to read back
Dove glad you enjoyed your holiday and that the first B and B was five star??
Hosta did you get the cottage rented out? Sorry the sleep patter bad again
Busy hope your break goes well, Wonky rest up, your fab job wants you back for sure. Chicky very glad to hear your dad doing so well. Good luck to chicklet, a real change coming to you!!
Lr the G how nice to change your path, can we all do the course by proxy?
Johnny C that's horrific. We have been caught in a wildfire Never been so frightened in my life
Pat hope you fit again, we met lovely couple from Sydney recently they are worried it is going to be even hotter this year and a serious fire risk Hope not!
Punk, how is the decision making going? Did you go? Hope the roof ok Has your mum settled?
Joyce and Fairy our garden says you have had a lot of wind and rain here and it s cold!! Hope you busy Joyce and got the roof fixed and Fairy sandbags for the hills I think?!
sorry if I have missed anyone out, two weeks is a lot of catching up to do and my memory is awful!
Would love to get into the garden but hardly know where to start! May just do the emails! Our dear friends on our favourite island have been badly affected by the hurricane. We may not get there till April but that's secondary to how the islanders will recover. Wonky I hope your oh s family are ok
Best get the washing machine back on

Hi BL
Very quiet on here this afternoon ... everyone hunkering down in the storms?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Morning all. Dry, chilly and breezy.
Chicky, I think your dad was right in choosing to sleep as it can be quite tiring making conversation.post op.
You will soon have a quiet house with both chicklets away.
Good morning all , reasonable day , rain forecast this afternoon , going into Lincoln this morning , bit of shopping and meeting a friend for lunch at Wetherspoons , I fancy a vegatable curry ?
A bit more painting tonight , nearly finished
