    Morning all.
    Looking good here so far.
    Hosta I do what Obes does...hit the GW button on my toolbar or you can use the Pg Up/Pg Dn buttons on your keyboard.
    I'm with you Liri. In my other house the front looks out over Belfast Lough about 100m from the beach and the back looks out to fields and hills. It was the fields that sold it to me. Wren runs over hill and dale and I think she's been to the beach about half a dozen times in her life.  :D My country house is in the country!!!!! I like the kitchen in that £4.3 million house...but it's a tad expensive for just the kitchen.  :D  BL that garden looks like a very formal version of yours. Fab big well filled beds. Lovely.
    Off out for dog and bird food later and then some easy gardening depending on me back. (I sound 100).
    Enjoy your Saturday.

    Morning all - although it must feel like evening already for Hosta and Yvie.  Enjoy your celebrations tonight Wonky.

    Visit to Woolbeding was a delight - lots of spring colour, and a beautiful setting for a garden.  Will be going back in the summer, for definite.  Also managed another couple of hours weeding in my own garden after work again ....beginning to make an impression now.  But weekend weather forecast is wet, so fear progress will be halted.

    off to London with littlest Chicklet today to see Woman in Black 😳😱. Getting ready to steel myself  ;).  But first, mane taming 🦁 ✂️💇🏼‍♀️

    Pages have got much shorter, very strange

    Morning Forkers,
    Yvie and Hosta, hope you both can get 40 winks later
    Wonky try and have a wee catnap before the fun begins!
    Chicky woman in black is a firm favourite in this house, enjoy
    Pat I have just been sent photos of our old house in Melbourne. All the gumtrees are away.  Is this a new fire prevention rule?

    Yes, pages definitely shorter ... I wonder if it's an attempt to get them loading faster?

    Good morning.  It's cool - 11C - and grey and wet so I've had a lie-in reading about Queen Victoria's early life and am just on second coffee before I drag OH away from his Masters golf so he can get his kecks on and help with give new life to old kitchen cupboards in the annex.

    Chili sowing later and maybe some beans.  If not, sewing my new top.

    LP - I'd have thought it common sense to keep vegetation that can burn at a safe distance from a house in a fire risk zone even lily pillies.

    WW - enjoy the party later.   Chicky - enjoy your girly day with Chicklet.  For that much money I'd want hills too Liri, preferably with some water or else a sea that does things.   I have yet to see the Atlantic here looking excited tho, to be fair, when the weather's bad enough to do that I tend to stay tucked up warm and dry.

    What are you sowing Hosta?  Good luck with the counting Pat.

    @Obelixx, I only got my sweet peas sown a few days ago, then the mouse got them so I've got lots to get in.
    I'll report back later once I see what I've got in the garage.

    I think we're about a month behind last year Hosta.

    Same sort of thing here Hosta.  This time last year Possum was sun bathing in a bikini and the wisterias and magnolias were flowering.  This year the first few pink bullet buds are showing on the magnolia, the wisteria buds are barely an inch long and only one hosta has poked its nose above ground tho I can see tips of one or two others.
