Reading all the comments about sponsorship .....the amounts are peanuts compared to the ludicrous amounts on money involved in football....apart from the prima donnas on the pitch .....the failed managers who constantly walk away from clubs with millions of pounds in payoffs
Hosta , those pics are amazing .....would love to know how to book that place ........
Oh ....sorry for sending you guys such cold weather .....we are enjoying a nice bit of sunshine here.....
we were out for our walk and my BH just loves to throw herself onto the snow ......this snow angel is one of the better ones I have seen
I believe badminton lost its funding after failing to win expected medals. Totally agree about maximum participation rather than maximum medals and find football economy obscene.
Still sunny here and, since the kitchen no longer looks like a bombsite I'm free to go and potter outside. I can only get Rustler sweetcorn here so far but will be trying a range of tomatoes. No idea what's out there but I already have seeds of Abraham Lincoln, Ailsa Craig, Beefsteak, Black Russian,,Golden Sunrise, Green Zebra, Harbinger, Rosella, San Marzano and Tumbling Tom. Remind me not to succumb at the spring plant fairs.........
Fidget - I sowed sweet peas last March and they ground to a halt during the drought so I didn't pot them up till late July. They then grew well and flowered in September and, amazingly, have made it thru winter and are putting on new growth. If you can sow some late and keep them from bolting then bring them into the sun in late August or so you might get some flowers for September.
Here's the pond this morning.
Not working!!!

The owner moved there from Canada about 5 years ago and built the whole thing himself.
I like Canadians .....and as you mentioned earlier the chap appears to be a good egg
