Yes to buttercups here - both creeping and meadow ones ....and dandelions .....and baby oak trees....and brambles and sheeps sorrel
My windowsills are now clear of seedlings, everything pricked out, potted on and stowed in the greenhouse. That means the twice daily pilgrimage begins ...better set the alarm for 10 minutes earlier from now on. Mr C tackled the problem corner for me (serious digging, hacking and clearing are more his style than mine - I get distracted, he is single minded in pursuit of destruction). Very grateful, and it looks much better for its liberation.
Now time for tea and some gardening magazines .....loving this weekend
Well, we've been out for a drive with the new satnav and despite being the same make as the last one it's quite different ... however, I think we're getting the hang of it ... it can find Sainsbugs, and a retail park, but it doesn't like me giving it specific addresses or post codes ... I shall have to read the manual (online) again ... but at least it knows the way Home and tells us when we get here

Evening all. Another 12 hour day , with only a 15 min break at 12.15. No lie in for me tomorrow as the tree surgeon is coming bright and early, then another 12 hour shift on Tuesday. I'm getting too old for this malarkey. Fingers crossed for a decent sleep tonight.
Busy weekend, singing all day today, and at the Harrogate flower show (blooming cold!) yesterday. One of the show gardens had an intriguing dry stone wall:
No idea how you'd start to build that one. Maybe a project for you, Wonky, now you have some rocks!
Only 4 treasures bought at the show this time, because any more would be hard to transport by train. A pot of old-fashioned sweet peas (to replace my failures), an epimedium with a creeping habit and small leaves, a prostrate rosemary as replacement for the one in my wall killed by the Beast from the East, and a geum 'Mai Tai', because it's gorgeous.
We now always buy the cheapest available kettle, from a supermarket, because expensive ones we've had don't seem to last. The current one moved with us here from Northumberland 12 years ago, and we can't remember how long before that we bought it... hope your new one behaves itself, Dove.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Oh Dove, I sympathise I am not good with change. ...
Looks like it wasn't my fault ... the maps hadn't updated properly ... was told to try again, and again, still not successful and then the satnav froze and wouldn't switch on or off ... I'm returning it to Amazon in the morning ... it's all packed up and has its label on.
Now I've just got to decide what to do about buying another one ... dear Wonky says I can borrow hers (which is like my old one) if we've not got one we're happy with before we go to Cornwall in just over two weeks. I'd like to buy another one like that but they've stopped making them
