    Think Liri might be snowed in Obs...  image

    It'll be a bonny journey back if it's clear. The Glencoe and Nevis hills are looking stunning just now, although the rain has cleared a lot off the more southern and lower hills. Campsies were white yesterday/Saturday , but none now. It was a bit of pain yesterday LP - but it was more about where to go once the snow was off and clag lifting. By the time I looked at possibilities, it was a bit too late for the amount of daylight left.

    Not too warm now though - it's not got above 3.5 and it's a chilly breeze. 

    Do you think Dove and BL have had a lot of cake? Silly question really image

    Ive decided to try growing Celeriac, but since I’ve not done so before, I wonder if any of you have had any good or bad experiences with it. I’m more into growing vegetables and herbs for their leaves rather than their roots. (Excepting potatoes and carrots). This all depends on whether I can find some packets of seeds when we are in Canberra on Thursday. I couldn’t find any seeds in town today - nothing new there.

    We are spending Wednesday night up there for our son’s graduation exhibition to finalise his Graphic Design studies. image

    Catch you all tomorrow - bed time here as usual.

    Afternoon Punk. Hope you're keeping warm.

    Hail showers here.

    Clari, are you managing to work through your list?

    Hope Dove and BL enjoyed cake/tart/scone along with a good natter.

     Nope ... we were very virtuous and will probably be drummed out of Forkers for letting the side down ... not a cake crumb passed our lips ........... although Mr & Mrs BL did have hot chocolate with cream and some beer  ... I just had two black coffees image

    We chatted for hours and hours image

    Back from Norwich. Met Dove at the Lamb, she arrived first but we weren't late, took the Park and Ride. She had coffee and we had hot chocolate, no cake, no scones. We chatted then Dove had another coffee and we had a half bitter each, after all it was a pub not a teashop, but we did indulge in a packet of crisps. Talked for 2 1/2 hours, went by in a flash!

    Then Dove went for her bus and we went for a look round Norwich. We stopped at the market and ate shellfish out of plastic pots with plastic forks and I bought a dressed crab and some vegetables and a punnet of raspberries.

    I bought a housewarming present for the young family next door who have moved to another little house in the village. Their landlord wants to do the next door cottage up and when he's done it he'll put the rent up. It's tiny, half the size of our cottage, I think they'll do better in the new place with 3 bedrooms.

    We went to Maplin and they had a charger for my camera battery, it's charging at the moment.

    Having bavette steak tonight, that I bought at the farmers market.

    I see Dove posted before me, I started typing then went to watch Flog It as they were talking about Bletchley Park where my mother worked in the war. Fairy, there was a break between the hot chocolate and the beer! But we are probably a bit strange anyway image
