Cheekily asked the new owner of the house I sold in the summer if I could reclaim one of the many containerised plants I'd had to leave - they said "yes" and I collected it today.
Good stuff
The yows were all looking ready to drop when I had a wee walk earlier, and the hawthorn hedges now have little sprouts of green competing with the yellow and mossy green lichens. Simple pleasures
Glad the pooter's still working Lizzie. When these things happen, it's never a bed or a sofa you drop them on! Sod's Law, eh?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Cheeky blackbird sitting on the head of one of my statues, watching me while l did the washing up. Had to stop to give him his breakfast. Has made me smile for a couple of hours now !
More ducktape on the laptop, but it is still working. Will take it into town next week to see if somebody can put a new case on it. @Fairygirl, it's like dropping buttered bread, it's always butter side down isn't it. The irony is that I had just taken it out of it's lovely padded case!
I haven't had a 'problem' with the blackbirds yet this year, but most years they start cussing at me if I'm working on one part of the garden for too long. Presumably they are worried that the bugs and beasties I've disturbed will have time to escape. I did nearly tread on one blackbird when it was literally pecking at the ground about 6" behind me.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
