    Hi all.
    Wet and windy.
    Off to garage to pick up Moira's car, and then if it stops raining start planting some of the bulbs that arrived yesterday, including Lillium Forever Susan, which looks a stunner.

    Hmmmm ... broadband coming and going at the moment ... Virgin are improving the network and we may experience a loss of service between now and 3pm ... good job I've got some gardening to do .... 

    That lilium does look amazing @punkdoc B)

    Just back from our Read2Dogs. Taken on more kids classes etc as we are so successful!

    weather is building up but I dont know who to believe, anyone recommend a reliable source?
    I think to be safe we will tidy away a lot this afternoon, stack chairs etc
    Joyce I think we should batten down the hatches, Fairy you maybe should too
    hope everyone else is ok, take care

  • @Lily Pilly the met office are about as good as you can get, or your local airfield or military base if you have one they might give you a forecast mine do here.
    The airfield give a short range next four to six hours the Navy next twenty four to forty eight hours.

    @Lily Pilly.  I have moved some pots but the ones that are too heavy will need to take their chances in the wind.
    It was a lovely sunny afternoon but the sky is starting to look rather ominous now.

    Hampshire Hog thank you. I hadn’t thought of an airfield. I am on the local coast guards site but am a lot more central than their area. 

    Joyce we have done quite a lot of tidying but there is just no guarantee with all our trees
    it is being taken very seriously by everyone round about 

    take care
