Had wet kisses from 3 small grandsons and roast chicken for lunch. Just got back, having then I will go and get a trailer load of manure for the veg garden. Bought 15 sacks of 50L compost this morning in the small GC. The offer had changed, 4€50 a sack or 9€ for 3, web site was probably wrong, not bad for here anyway. Went to big GC on the way home, gosh it's pricey!
A flock of cranes have just flown noisily past, coming back for summer, always exciting.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We have a telegraph pole in our garden, it was swaying! I’m getting onto the electric company tomorrow, think they need to put a new pole in or dig a deeper hole.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Back safe and sound. It wasn't too bad this morning when I was along the coast at Tintagel and Boscastle but certainly pretty blowy this evening when I was out again.
According to the radar we are just on the edge of lots of rain but just a dribble so far and no great gusts. The locals all think we're in for a wet week but the forecast says not. I wouldn't mind some rain.
Hope that leccy pole holds Lyn.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Evening all. I hope you all safe and well. Pretty blustery here but should be subsiding anytime. Had a quiet day here. Didn’t manage the Welsh Cakes but did do some fairy cakes with my neiece and her cousin (5 and 3) and they have impressive baking skills already - accurate measuring, good egg-cracking technique and even remembered to mix the flour gently! A grade (if you like orange, pink and purple icing with sprinkles). I have a few days off work now - lovely jubbly. Take care all - especially if you have the storm, or snow, or ridiculously hot weather (just you on that last one Pat!).

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