Good link Hosta ... I've signed ... but just a word to the wise ... if you don't want Greenpeace to keep phoning you for donations DO TICK THE BOX .... once I didn't and they plagued me for ages with silent phone calls ... and I'd already donated to them ... it took a while for me to find a way to stop them phoning ... didn't do their image with me much good ... and I support most of their work.

Also meant to say, had an explore of my greenhouse yesterday, and despite the cold weather we’ve had pretty much everything is beginning to sprout 🌱🌱🌱. All bare root perennials, or ones that were from seed last year and too little to put out for their first winter. And I have auricula flower buds too - yay 😃
Signed the bottle petition, thanks Hosta. I never give these organisations my phone number, Dove, having learnt from bitter experience...
I've not been on here for a few days because I've been GARDENING! First with the park volunteers - planting perennials we bought before the snow, and clearing brambles from the banks of a stream (where we found this pretty thing; a Crimson Elf Cap fungus).
I tried compressing the image before posting it, but I don't know if it's made any difference to how easily it loads...
And then a lot of much-needed work in my own garden, which is just "yawning and stretching" in preparation for spring. Crocuses and snowdrops are open, but not a lot else yet. However, that meant I could do a lot of tidying without damage.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Busy - I paid a small fortune for a collection of fancy marginal irises for the Belgian pond and they were indeed beautiful in shades of blue and purple and white and some with variegated leaves. Didn't like a winter of 3 weeks of -20C with easterly Siberian winds and the following year's cold spell which started with a bang at -32C for one night finished them off, along with countless evergreen shrubs and conifers, roses and a few clems.
Have just been to the bank to discuss financing PV panels - interest rates so low it's daft to pay up front ourselves - so have been on parade since 9am. OH then planned to go and drop off a jacket left in is car by a playing partner from the next village. Wanted me to be sociable and go with him but I have loads to do here before Monday and two more outings this weekend so I let him know what I think about being retired and him making early weekend appointments.
It is cool here and showery. Indoors for me - sewing and washing and also practising a few steps before we go dancing this evening.
I hope you all have decent weather for your garden or other projects this weekend and no more nasty lurgies.

Gorgeous fungus Liri. Never seen one of those before and the photo loaded fine for me. The big ones do it line by line so very slowly.
Has anyone seen that Delhi has banned all plastic from the city? Huge piles of packaging and bottles all over the place and people burning it so making toxic fumes to add to the joy. Go Delhi!
Chicky - I have quite a few very tasty veggie recipes that meat lovers enjoy. Can PM them if you like or share here.

The compressed image loaded immediately, whereas the ones that load line byline are so slow that I lose the will to live and give up waiting. Have we just swopped one problem for another?

Littl’un has become a vegetarian, so mealtimes get a bit more complicated now 😳
