    I have to confess that I did look at their site earlier, but many were unavailable. I suppose they had to wait until new growth started??

    Hubby keeps saying
    " you don't need any more plants" 
    I reply: "When the garden is as stuffed as your wardrobe, I'll stop. When you go a year without buying yet more clothes: I'll stop buying plants."
    Neither will ever happen.

    Morning all.
     Have been for blood tests....like an early appt to have the rest of the day free.
    DD, looks like good stuff for digging in to get your garden going.

    Morning Joyce ... I like early appointments too ... at least there's a chance of a reasonable parking space in the practice car park  :)  Hope your arm's not sore. 

    DD, that does look like good stuff  :D

    Morning Peeps 😀

    on a train 🚂- London Town for me today and tomorrow

    Had an amazing weekend in Paris - although slightly dampened by the horribleness on Saturday night just a few streets away from where we were wining and dining.  We saw and heard nothing - first we knew was when littlest chicklet called in a panic to make sure we were ok.  So sad that it seems to be a part of life we have to get used to.

    Apart from that, we had a great time exploring, using the hop on hop off boats on the Seine, gazing at paintings, and laughing lots.  The train strike stopped us from getting to Giverny - so we’re just going to have to do the whole thing again next year 😉

    came home to a well tended GH - Mr C took his responsibilities very seriously - hurrah 🎉

    Hello Chicky ... I had a horrid feeling you were close by to the trouble ... glad it didn't affect you (well, phiysically I mean ... one couldn't help but be affected emotionally of course).   I suppose it's no different to what we had to get used to when the Irish Troubles were at their height ...  Glad you were still able to have a great time ... I love Paris but it's a good while since we were there.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    It's amazing what you get used to living with if you have no choice. It's only when you look back you realise the true horror. 
    I found some old school magazines recently and some of the poetry written by 11, 12 and 13 year olds, as I was at the time, made my blood run cold.

    The Eurostar makes it very easy Dove - great to go away without the hassle of an airport, and to arrive within walking distance of where we were staying.....although we walked a lot, there was so much to see just mooching around.

    we found flowers in the market just behind Notre Dame:
