    The Peter Nyssen catalogue arrived yesterday; I'm drooling.


    And I've just placed an order in the region of £65.  Mostly crocuses for my frontmost border which currently has no spring bulbs in it.

    I have Nyssens on a bookmark @josusa47. It's a huge mistake. They have a wish list feature which doesn't help either  :D
    I've been perusing regularly during all this recent wet weather, as it's 'that' time of year, and they often run out of certain bulbs. That's my excuse anyway.....
    My little robin visitor has been a reason to be cheerful though. He's a cheery wee soul, despite the 'growth' on his squinty little beak. He'd just been for a bath in the pond when I took this  :)  


    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Oh bless ! That's a lovely photo @Fairygirl. I feel as though I could reach out and stroke those feathers  :)

    I've got my lovely new blue 'Sentry Shed' (birthday presie) and now the new Potting Table (and seat) has just arrived - bliss!  The downside is that it's a flat pack and I've got to put it together!

    That is indeed a smashing photo @Fairygirl.

    Hope you get some reasonable weather to build it @Lizzie27. Lovely gifts   :)
    Glad you like the pic. He's just a poor wee soul, that robin. Not seen him around  today. Is it daft that I worry about him?  :/
    We used to have a blackbird with a deformed beak in a previous garden. Daughter appropriately named him 'squinty beak'. The robin has now inherited it.  :)

    Can't find the buying plants thread but buying these has made me cheerful so I'll post here.😊
    Bought a selection of hebes in Lidl for £1 something each. Now I've got to find somewhere to put them. Whodathunk there were so many different kinds?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    We heard yesterday we've got planning permission for the extension we want to build on our Irish bungalow (which we'll own tomorrow).   :)
