Many thanks for all your congratulations ......I’ll pass them on to her 😀 She does get a summer off (lots of globe trotting 🌏 planned) before she starts work in September.
Off to Bham today (the last time for a year or so) to retrieve littlest chicklet (who also got a first in her second year exams ......yesterday was quite a day 🤩). Will be good to have her home for a couple of months before she heads off to Sydney.
sorry I missed your birthday Pat - belated many happy returns to you 🥳
Can I echo the comments of @Dovefromabove, in celebrating Windrush Day. Having worked for the NHS for my whole life, I believe i am qualified to say that without immigrants of all persuasions, the service would have imploded many years ago.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Not to mention London Transport and many similar organisations.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Bread’s cooling, front garden has fewer weeds than it had and the Clem Freckles has been cut away from totally taking over the Vib Bodnantense. It’s too hot out the front there now that the sun’s over the house, so that’ll have to do for today ... the back garden will have some shade later so I’ll get out there for a bit this afternoon ...

More hesperis cut back, some tidying done on the terrace, the last of the broad beans picked, prepped and frozen 😇 lunch (warm walnut bread, goats cheese and a mug of soup). Delivery taken of some lovely Rowan wool for OHs next jumper when I’ve finished the one I’ve just started (there was a flash sale). Think I’ll put my feet up for a bit and get on with the jumper I’ve already started 😆

Sorry about the MRI results, Obelixx, you seem to get a lot done despite it, courageous lady.
I'm watching the buffoon as I type.
This morning we went to the tip with 3 huge canvas type bags of shrubs I'd cut back and the red currant bush. Then we went to the farmers market in the village hall, met a couple of friends there and had coffee with them. Bought sea bass fillets (from Lowestoft) a dressed crab and some broad beans.
Then we went to the Peter Beales Classic Roses Festival. It was packed. But I found Salvia Blauhugel which is the best, longest flowering, bee filled salvia I have ever had in France. So now I have it here too
We had thought we'd have a light lunch there but the café, marquee and outdoor terrace were all bursting at the seams and there was a long queue. So we went to a local pub instead. It was closed last year because of retirement but has opened again with young people running it. It had been renovated and was much more comfortable. They are having live blues and folk music tomorrow so we might go.
I'm going to plant my new roses and perennials when Boris and Jeremy have spoken.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Hope you can see those, Pat

Can't stop - the sun's actually shining. Got to get out there, now my chores are done - the bread's proving and the laundry is out on the line

Well done Chicklet!
