    @Busy-Lizzie Velvet Moon looks lovely. I'd not heard of it before.

    Good morning all  :) ☕️ 
    a lovely morning here in Norfolk ... blue sky, white fluffy clouds ... and a little flock of wigeon just flew over, calling as they went. They’re a little group who unusually for wigeon don’t migrate north to breed but stay and nest on the marshes over the hill from here ... about now each year a small group of them fly out and back morning and evening passing over our house ... not sure where they’re heading for ... possibly Whitlingham Broad which isn’t far away. 

    Hope you got back back to sleep @Hostafan1 ((hugs))

    It’s freeing here today. I wonder if there’ll be snow on top of the range in the morning.

    Good Morning on Summer Solstice. I put a link about it on the Weather thread.
    Weather forecast for the next week is interesting...warming up, but thunder storms. 
    Right, might take my second cuppa outside and see how the day is shaping up. Have a decent Friday all.

    Morning all,

    Opened the curtains to find our roe deer asleep under the front windows in the morning sunshine.  A lovely start to the day!

    Talking of the solstice ... folk in East Anglia may be interested in this free festival of arts and music on the beach at Lowestoft this weekend https://firstlightlowestoft.com/ We won’t be there as OH will be at work but my son will be there with Talvin Singh who is the headline musician and performing at noon and again at sunrise 🌅 Lots to hear, see and do for all ages if you fancy a day out ... the forecast is good ☀️

    Hi all

    Looks like we might have a day without rain, would be the first in a week, must get the rest of the Cannas, Dahlias, Ricin and the Colocasia planted.

    Good morning.   Warm and dry here so, after the PT has been watered I'll need to set the sprnkler on my nursery of pots.   Patch homework to do this am to prepare for a class at the exhibition this pm, then a raid on the SM for bits for dinner.

    Possum goes back to Namur tomorrow and wants duck breast for her "last supper".   

    That Solstice festival sounds like fun Dove, as does your boat trip BL.   Looking forward to update pics AR.   It's great to rescue furniture and give it new life and purpose.

    Hope you're well wrapped up Pat.   Don't want a chill on top of eveyrthing else at the mo.   Hugs to both.

    How's the new dog RG?  Our house guest is very funny.   He's come out of his shell and loves to play but when we throw toys or a ball he collects them all up in a pile.......
