Snow! @Pat E. ⛄️ It doesn’t seem five minutes since you were showing us your spring blossom ... my how time flies 🙄 Keep warm and take it gently both of you ((hugs))
((hugs)) too for others who have poorly loved ones, trials, tribulations, cares and woes ... hope that knowing you’ve got friends here helps a bit.
We’re off to the seaside today ... maybe a wander by the harbour ... a pub lunch ... a read/snooze in the car with the top down while parked somewhere we can hear the waves lapping ... perhaps buying some fresh fish for supper ... potting on the tomatoes will wait until tomorrow 😎

Hi all Massively exciting news [ to me anyway ], just walking in the little woodland under my Beech trees and I disturbed a Woodcock, certainly a first in this garden.
Today I shall be moving Canna and Dahlia pots around, trying to find their rightful places, am hoping Moira might help me dig some holes. I think it will take a few days, but a sign that summer is coming.
Sounds like a good day out @Dovefromabove, have fun and have a beer for me. Great relief for the chicklets @chicky. I was still doing exams in my early 30's!
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
It'll be good to have your nest full for summer. When does Chicklet start her new job? Possum is travelling back on the 8th but then goes back up for the Belgian student council BBQ in late June and meetings with the college director and will stay on while current flatmate moves out. I shall pop up for a while in early July and fetch her back.
Sounds like a good day Dove. We'll need to get one or two of those in before the hoards arrive in July and especially August and fill up the beaches, car parks and cafés.
PT emptying today so I shall have my mini woodland of Japanese maples and hostas on the terrace for summer. Then I can plant the tomatoes.
Hope you're keeping warm Pat. Hugs to all who need them.

Morning all/afties Pat. Keep cosy x Sounds a nice day out Dove. Your toms can certainly wait. Mine are very slow, but that's how it is. Big relief in the chicky household! Chicklet will be glad that's all done. Very exciting doc. Have they been nesting in the garden do you think? Fingers crossed they hang around. The rain has now stopped here at last, but there's more coming. All the pots are thoroughly soaked. Not sure I'll get to physio and back without a watering myself.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Good luck to the chicklets, Chicky 👍. Just over two weeks to go for us here - 6 next week, 6 the week after, 2 the week after that (on the Monday, thank goodness).
Congratulations on your woodcock, punkdoc. Enjoy your gardening today.
It's sunny today, though still quite chilly at the moment. Enough rain yesterday for the water butt to fill one small watering can 😕. Not enough. Strange to hear of snow, Pat!
Had a lovely day with Trill yesterday. We went to a board games cafe and spent a couple of hours playing. Yes, we could have done that at home, but it was fun to do it that way. "Quality time" as they say.
Have a good day, all.

I must get on with the gardening, still plants to plant out but weeds need clearing first. Hands are sore and one finger is swollen. I'm hosting a charity garden party next week, but that's not as demanding as opening the garden, more social and I have helpers to make sandwiches and cakes.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Its been glorious in Southwold 😎 We drank several beers for you @punkdoc, looked at art, got a picnic from the deli and ate it on the beach, went to sleep on the beach, wandered along the seafront, strolled through the town to the Trinity Fair on Trinity Green and ate icecreams, took photos, had a cuppa and arrived home about half an hour ago. OH has fed the hedgehogs, filled the birdfeeders and put the bins out and I’ve ordered a Chinese meal to be delivered. Just got to check the plants then my feet are going to be put up on the Brazilian leather pouffe ... 🍷

I think we’ll be early to bed tonight.
Currently watching a show about closed British railway lines. They’re near Meldon at the moment.
