Think those should be on the garden pics thread Flumpy but thank you for making them small enough to download on rural pace internet. What's the plant in the 5th pic? I love that rich purple flower.
Busy - I too enjoy winter when it's fresh and crisp and clear and walkies call. Makes you appreciate and enjoy the comforts of home all the more and, whilst I very much enjoy the improved weather here, I couldn't cope with summer all year.
OH and I have been out and moved all the pots from the north side of the house to the PT _ hostas, fuchsias, acres and smaller clems _ or the outside south facing side of the PT - smaller rose pots which have all been tidied up, weeded and top dressed. Latest crop of dahlia flowers picked. Why are they full of ants?
Now to decide what to do with a guinea fowl. Roast? Tagine?
Fingers crossed Diane.

Afternoon all. @Busy-Lizzie, we never take the winter duvet off our bed, even in summer. I now have a working mower and I even coaxed the chainsaw into life to cut more logs. Openreach have been again and he "thinks" he's fixed it. " Give a couple of days and see how it goes" doesn't fill me with optimism. He suspects the router is tripping out the phone line so I plan to ask talk talk to send me a new one. @punkdoc, the whole was just too hideous . Don't start me on the lovely "christian" Westboro Baptist Church.
Evening all. Been outside all day in the lovely sharp weather. I even had my lunch outside - in the sun it was double figures for a little while. Bit different in the shade, and round the front, where the wind was keeping temps right down. Just realised my lips are sore from the sun and wind doc- while I read that [horrific] article, there was breaking news about yet another shooting in America, at a synagogue. Nothing ever changes. The denial is terrifying. Hope you're cosy. Snow gates have been shut today up at Glenshee, and of course, Cockbridge to Tomintoul. No sniggering now, Hosta Finges crossed for you Diana. Very stressful. Hopefully you won't need to do any diy work. I wouldn't bother planting anything anyway. If you have to do the trellis, the new owners can plant it up if they want.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@flumpy1. Thank you for posting those lovely photos of your plants, so much colour still left. if you’d put them on the photo thread I would never have seen them, I daren’t even click on that thread or the whole site shuts down and I have to re load the site again.

Still Lyn? I thought that was better now. Maybe we should start a garden pics thread reserved only for re-sized photos that won't take all day to load for people like Busy and me or blow you up? I wonder if the software for this site would allow @Nora, if she's willing, to set one up with a size limit.

Hi Obelixx, I grew some seeds in spring but I’m afraid the packed got damaged 🙁, I will try and find out what they are called for you, I got the seeds free with the GW magazine 😊
