Hadn't spotted that slipping in LG. Looking very good. Well done you.
I am driving to Toulouse newt Monday to meet Possum at the airport then 3 days poodling around Toulouse and Carcassonne before driving home on Thursday pm. She then has a friend arriving at La Rochelle on Saturday and I'll drive them both back to Namur on Easter Sunday ready for classes again on the Tuesday - flights for two being hard to find and expensive........

Hi everyone not logged in much last few days. @Nanny Beach for the first time in years I did not put clocks forward the night before to wake up on "new" time, it took me till about lunchtime Sunday to sus what I (hadn't) done. I must say this year the change has thrown me all out of kilter, never usually does, hope it's not a sign of being over 27. Hope @Hostafan1 doesn't tell me off but I finally dug up & split the "Big Daddy" in the bottom bed, I know it's late but the buds were only just beginning to move. I didn't get to it last year and it was getting very congested. I didn't manage to beat the rain & got rather soggy replanting it- serves me right for leaving it so late.
Gosh, that sounds quite complicated, Obxx! Though rather nice too. Is the friend staying with you? And - key question - has all the relevant decorating and room swapping been accomplished? I think you said it had to be done by the time Possum next came home, but correct me if I've misremembered.
Glad you like my path I dug those bricks up as I was preparing the area for the raised beds and they've sat in a pile ever since, waiting to fulfill their path destiny. *Just* enough for the path length, hence the narrow centre. But I only need to walk there or push a barrow, so they'll do nicely I think. Most of the gravel was reclaimed from the front garden, carefully washed free of many, many, many weed seeds and mud. But I need to do some more!
Dove, our rain arrived exactly as forecast, but I swore at myself because I'd got caught up in something else and not made it outside to do the things I'd planned. It's quite heavy now.

LG - those bricks look great and perfect for a wheelbarrow wheel. Possum's friend is staying with us and yes, I still need to clear the beds and move all the furniture round. Not helped by OH unpacking all 3 radiator covers when I only needed one for this room but, now they're unpacked, they need painting to protect them form any inadvertent spills or bangs till I get to the next 2 rooms to paint. MDF doesn't half slurp up paint and needs a wee sand and then a wipe between every coat.
We have rain too now. 2 mopey dogs and disgruntled cat. Cosmos is, of course, sleeping thru it all.

Hello all. 13th grandchild has arrived! To Son 2 and DIL, a little daughter born yesterday evening. I went to look after their 3 little boys and I stayed the night. Nanny arrived this morning. I haven't seen her yet, Mum is feeling very tired. She's in hospital.
A bit of rain overnight. Tomorrow's forecast is grim.
I have gardening to do, planting. I weeded a bit more of the oval bed yesterday and OH and I bought some plants that I hope are deer proof at the GC. We'd taken my car in to be serviced and have new tyres. But, having slept very little in a sofa bed at son's and having had to get up at 7am, normally 8am, just after clocks changing I feel somewhat below par.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Congrats to all BL. She's going to have fun with 3 older brothers! Not surprised you're feeling tired. Me too but's that cos of thunder in the night. Maybe a snoozle is needed.

No wonder you're tired. Are you any good at napping? The garden will wait. When will you meet the new arrival?

I rather hope that neither of my daughters produce grandchildren. I'm not great with babies, lol
