    Thanks Pat, and good morning everyone. 

    Looks like a nice day today, am hoping to get some garden jobs done. Apparently we have snow forecast again for the weekend! Even though the last lot wasn't long ago, with the mild weather since it's become quite hard to imagine snow.

    Oh no don’t say the s word! We have a lot of visitors on Sunday, lunch is to be followed by a walk round the garden. It’s why we have been knocking our pan out the last three days!

    Morning all. 
    Still feeling a bit plap.
    Much coughing and snot overnight.
    Hubby's birthday to day , yet it was he who brought me a cuppa in bed. 
    @WonkyWomble, @Dovefromabove sweet peas?? I've certainly missed that. ;)
    My 12 hour Tuesday starts after Easter so I'm making the most of it by checking my PPI claim form.

    Yuk @Hosta ...  you sound horrible  :/;)  Happy Birthday  to your Lovely Hubby ((hugs))  Many Happy Returns to him :D<3
    re sweet peas ... Wonky has been starting some off in her greenhouse ... some lovely varieties from the descriptions ... I'll try to find the names ... anyway, as we all do she's sown far too many so I'm having some of them, and when I drop my tomato plants off for her to babysit before we visit you, she's going to give me a stash of sweet pea seedlings to bring to you ... if you'd like some? 

    P.S.  Here they are ... "... Sweetpeas, Lilac Ripple, Chatsworth, Percy Thrower and Mollie Rilstone. Far too many but I've done some spares as Dove has requested plugs and I'll send some down with her to you Hosta if you would like them?"

    how lovely you both are. Chatsworth is one of my faves. I used to grow it when I bought named varieties, now I'm cheap and buy mixes from Lidl for 26p a packet.
