    Lovely to get cuddles BL.  You too Liri.  

    It's cool again here and I spent most of yesterday resting the wounded knee but am fed up with that now so am off to finish pressure washing the terrace so we can move the Japanese, maple, hostas and fuchsias into their summer shade and free up the polytunnel for tomatoes.

    Couldn't cope with 90 minutes of springwatch last night.   Too much gushing from the blonde and bickering banter too.   Boring.

    Isn’t it funny how tastes differ - it’s the presenters of Springwatch that make it for me 😀

    Garden visiting looks like it’s going to be distinctly soggy 🌂☂️☔️

    Evening all.
    Just done one of the Gardenwatch surveys. 
    Missed Springwatch last night but will catch up later. Recommend the new series with Prof Brian Cox - The Planets. 
    Hope you all doing ok. 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Thought Brian Cox was brilliant, he is such a good communicator.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    He is but I was definitely boggled.   Just how do you decide what's in the middle of mercury by calculating its wobble on its axis?!?

    Goodnight @Dove

    I enjoyed the party this afternoon, friend's 60th. It was in their garden, only just warm enough. Lots of lovely salads and cakes.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Morning peeps 😀

    Feet have just about thawed out after my soggy garden visiting ......but what a gorgeous garden it was 🤩. All based round an old watermill, really clever use of colours and space.  Will definitely be heading back again later in the year.

    Chicklet has her last EVER exam today 😵. Lots of 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻  and then a sigh of relief will be heard across the land.  Littlest chicklet has one tomorrow and one next week, and then she, too, will be stress free and ready to enjoy the summer 😎

    Good morning all  😊  ☕️
    Hello @Pat E 😊 ☕️ 

    Most of what Brian Cox says boggles me ... fascinating tho 👍 

    The garden is full of families of coal tits, great tits, blue tits and house sparrows being taught to use the feeders 😊
