    Not cossetted FG, apart from the gorgeous shrub.  Currently have my filthy feet soaking in a tub of warm water to make the fit to go out tomorrow and enjoying a glass of suitable fizz.   Then I'm off for a well-earned shower before dinner.

    Funnily enough we don't get cold-called here.

    Don't know what you're missing - it amuses us enormously on a slow day at work  :D
    Daughter is making dinner. Lovely stuff. Nice to put my feet up and not have to cook.

    @Fairygirl if it's the nursery I think it is it's a lovely wee place. (If you try to order off evil bay they tell you to come up and have a look.  :)) Very small but great sturdy plants. I divided most of mine into three or four.  :)

    That was funny Hosta  ;)
    In  Ballyclare, Ppauper? They just looked very good, and the plant info was thorough. The fact that they'd say 'it grows well here'  is helpful,  as I'd reckon plants would do well enough here too.
    They're small plants, but they'll do well. Good root systems on them  :)
    Mind you - a box of toffee would have been even better  :D

    It's in Ballyrobert itself right in the way on the road between my house and my vet. It's a lovely wee spot and you can go in and wander round their garden. Lots of hellebores and snowdrops when I was there. It doesn't seem to be very well known. I'd never heard of it until quite recently and it's only about six miles from my "town" house.

    From your 'town house', ppauper - how very upmarket  :D
    It certainly looks lovely in the photos. I found it by accident when I was looking for a plant. Forgotten which one now. I got caught up in all the lovely stuff they had. Could have bought 40 plants instead of just 4  :)

    I know. Dead pan loafy me! I spend six months in the country and six in the town. The nursery is about 80 miles from where I am now. :)

    Hosta probably already been checked but have you been tested for gall stones? Mom had tiny ones in her bile duct incredibly painful but intermittent she had to have an MRI scan to find them as they didn't show up on usual scans etc. She basically collapsed in agony an ambulance was called and she refused to leave hospital until all possible checks were done. Just a thought apologies if you feel I am interfering.

    You'll not want to lower yourself to hob nobbing with the likes of us plebs  :D
