    It’s a misty moisty morning here in Norfolk ... I think it’s going to be milder today ...

    It's May Day!   In France and Belgium people offer each other sprigs of lily of the valley.

    Have a lovely day everyone and, for those who need them, lots of hugs.


    Glad you enjoyed your day BL. I'm afraid for me, any opera lasting more than a few minutes seems very long tho I do like the slave's chorus form Nabuco.  Only decent tune in the whole thing.

    That is a lovely tradition @Obelixx - their fragrance is delightful.

    Our lily of the valley has produced a couple of flowering sprigs ... hurrah! It’s taken several years to get to this stage 😉

    Morning all.
    lily of the valley is one of those things that lots fail to establish. I looked after a garden where we dug it out by the  barrowload every year to keep it under control.
    Last night's forecast rain didn't arrive.

    Morning all. Sunny at the moment.

    Tom Tom the Sat Nav has died. Got a bit lost going to Southwold yesterday as map didn't show that road I wanted to turn right onto was an underpass with no entrance and nothing was signposted. We are going to a  retail park today to pick up a mattress for the bunk beds as OH's GCs are coming this weekend. So happens that Curry's are there too so we should be able to buy a Tom Tom.

    Faust, filmed from Covent Garden, last night was really good but very long, the time passed quickly but I was rather stiff.

    @Busy-Lizzie, have you tried rebooting it on your computer? Maybe return to factory settings, then re download? Just a thought.
