    I listen to the Today programme on R4 every morning ... that's enough news for me on most days ... any more is just too depressing.

    Can't get Radio 4 here and refuse to have a PC in the bedroom to get it digitally.  I find I don't miss the aggressive attitudes of the majority of the presenters - esp John Humphrys - when questioning people, not just politicians.  Justin thingummy is a joke.  he was the Brussels correspondent for a while a few years ago and hadn't a clue.

    Fantasywire are now doing buttercups and daisies as well as the dandelions. They would look great in Nuts  meadow.  They are showing at Chatsworth Flower show. I am not going after last years mudbath, if it seems better organised I may go next year.

    Hi all, dropping back in to say Hi now the weathers better.
    Loved Chatsworth last year despite the mudbath!
    Went to Chelsea this time, was a bit of a surprise so wasn't quite up to speed. I'd not realised there were no plant sales until 4pm on sunday! I did go on Sunday but just got a houseplant for mum. It was lovely but didnt have time to fully appreciate it as we were having to have a drink and chat with friends every 5 minutes! Certainly didnt get around everything but nearly bought a very expensive greenhouse, thankfully sense prevailed and I'll have money spare to kit out a cheaper one instead!

    Any body going to Chatsworth this year , was hoping to go but to much on ?
    Will watch programme on BBC 
  • No rain, after a little bit of cloud earlier it was lovely and warm today with plenty of sunshine (again). :)  FG and Joyce will be gutted. ;) haha

    However, payment for todays sun was extracted when I cracked my head on the wash basin cupboard door bending down to put a little after sun on my feet!  Not bad, only a little bit of blood......a payment I'll make quite happily every day for more sun. :)
