Hello people hope you are all well, not been on here for a while, had the 2 grandkids during the school holiday. Just catching up on stuff now, really. Hubby started in the garden a couple of days, tar washing the fruit trees, tidying up, (mending next-doors-fence grrrr!!) it was freezing because of the wind, I managed to stay and hold the screws for him, and then dived indoors, wind is just getting up now, 1.3d, but looks like another clear blue sky, dogs on the beach. Hang in there puncdoc. Huby says be might reitre in March, he will be (only) 62, so only tiny private pension, so been told I am going to have to reign in any plant spending! Plenty of seeds to sow. We have to get a new large shed, the one we have is set on the soil, rotten, and a new fence the "other" side, which is going to cost a bomb.
Good morning. A much quieter night here and calm now and set to stay fine. We've had 2 dry days this month and 53cm of rain since mid December so I'm happy for OH to have a dry day for his golf.
NB - maybe ask OH to stay on till the end of the year? Then you can get a really good shed.
Busy - enjoy your day. Lavenham looks lovely.
WW - good to see you popping in. Hope you get your mitts sorted soon.
Pat - hope you're not too hot today.
The garden club is organising two visits later this year involving coaches; one all day and one overnight but both require a 5am start from La Roche so not for me. They're also doing a day of willow weaving which I shall do in the hope that any structure I make will last longer than the one I made in Belgium. Didn't make it thru its first winter.
Hello to all those yet to pop in. I hope you've had a good night and will be safe and warm and busy doing something good today. Back to my sewing fest for me.

Hi everyone. Stinking hot here all day. I didn’t go to water the garden until 7pm. I’ve moved all the pots of garden herbs from the west side to the east side (morning sun more plant friendly than afternoon).they are now on the front verandah for easy access from the kitchen. I’m bbeing called for dinner. Catch up later.
Morning. Woke with a headache but thankfully it's gone now.
BL I've seen Lavenham on TV but never been there. It looks really lovely. Hope you've got good weather. It's bright and frosty here.
LP sorry to hear the weather's taking a turn for the worse. Are you and OH better now or still recovering?
Wonky (if you're there) you made me so hungry! We ate at 10.30 - earlier than recently so woohoo!
Obelixx I hope you're enjoying all the sewing. What's your deadline? Is the willow weaving with live willow, or cut? I am currently rooting about 25 little twisted willows with some aim of being able to grow something at the end of the garden. I'm not sure it's entirely wise.
And now I am going to be good and go and revise before meeting a friend for lunch. Putting pests and diseases to one side and going for propagation techniques this morning - much nicer, much easier .

Good morning all
G'day Pat 
A sharp frost here in Norfolk. Brrrr!!!

Evening Pat. Hope it's not too hot overnight.
That didn’t take long to eat.
Chick peas, fresh home grown tomatoes, home made pasta with chopped Celeriac in it, spinach, dried cumin and coriander.
Yum.
great to see Wonky, by the way. Forget everything else.
LG, if we get desperate in the night we have a small air con in the bedroom. Haven’t used it much because it mostly cools down at night.
