    Wonky told me that today one of her tasks would be to deliver some machinery parts to farms near the village where she grew up  :)

    Good heavens this is rediculous. I have just driven home through some of the worst snow, car reading 1.  Why don’t people slow down and drive to the conditions?  Grrrrrrr
    away to read back with some hot soup to heat me up

    I seemed to have missed that fact that it's Wonky's birthday. 
    Happy Birthday Wonky. x
    Hubby has just made me a cuppa so I'm having a wee break then back to the tunnel.
    @Yviestevie, I've taken a photo of the cannas I've split, but I though I'd take some of the process I use to split them. I thought it might be useful ( or show that I'm doing it wrong  ;))

    @Dovefromabove, maybe I'm being very stupid, again, but I can't find the PM.

    The sun came out briefly so we've moved my sowing stuff into the polytunnel which is a warm and toasty 33C today and not humid as the soil under the cardboard is so dry from last year's drought.

    Apart from a few buds opening on the Japanese maples in pots by the house and the blossoms on the new nectarines ditto, we have almost no buds showing on the rest of our trees apart from some blossom in the west side of the hedgerow round the paddock and a garish forsythia in our own mixed hedge.

    Busy - I re-size photos for posting on here or by mail.  Much easier with a  slow internet for both sending and receiving.   "Oops" for the hedge trimmers?   OH prefers shears for some reason.

    I think a cozzie for English waters is optimistic is optimistic at any time of year and definitely at Whitsun but I hope you do get decent weather for your hols Yvie and Dove.  Hope the soup does the trick LP and that you are safe indoors too Joyce.  Liri - easy does it for getting over lurgies.

    You all sound so much happier now that you’re getting out into your gardens. Lovely to read.
    Liri,  my daughter wears her hair in one long plait down her back.
    Obelixx, I don’t know if her hair blocks up the drain. I haven’t heard her mention it. 😀

    @Hostafan1 ... PMs are access via the Top Right Corner of this page ... there's an open envelope icon (looks a bit like a handbag?) ... click on that and all should be revealed ...
