Afternoon. A bit of frost this morning but the sun came out. Had an hour in garden, just looking about and lit the Chiminea to burn some old bills etc (I have paid them!). Just back from the pub - only coffees and a catch up with my Sister. Going to settle in for the evening now.Â
It wasn't frosty in south Norfolk this morning but it's been sunny.
I painted two kitchen door frames while OH went to the recycling with the leaves and prunings I cleared up yesterday. Leaf pile is full. Then we went to a GC for lunch and to buy some wallflowers. They hadn't got any, said it was too late. Wish I'd bought them when I saw them in another GC a few days ago. But they did have orange coreopsis so I bought 3 of them instead. Found my fidelity card paid for them so it was like a present.
May go back to the first GC as I could do with some wallflowers to go around Geranium Rozanne as there is now a big gap there as she is asleep for the winter. But not orange in that place.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We saw the same lovely pink sunset driving home tonight down the M4 earlier. We'd had a very good last Xmas lunch (or should that be the first this year!) with a group of friends, all vintage car nuts, two of whom, after 20 odd years together had suddenly got married just before Xmas so more celebration all round.  I'm now trying to decide whether or not I'm hungry enough for a bowl of cereal before bedtime...…..
Frosty start here too but lovely bright sunny day at last. Spent the afternoon playing with my B'thday present. Got it a week early, it's a new pressure cooker, how sad am I. The old one was leaking even with a new gasket and I dropped the weight & the casing cracked so we gave in a got a whole new one. We have been making a lot of stocks & soups lately so it will get used a lot.
Sounds good to me @Allotment Boy ! I've never had one but I understand they are very useful. My daughter-in law got one for a Xmas pressie so you're not the only one. In the past my OH has bought me an electric saw, a Black & Decker Workmate, a potting table and last year a Sentry Shed! I did get a lovely ring for my Xmas pressie though.Â

Just found a bag Xmas tree shaped tortilla crisps at the back of the cupboard! I might turn into Nachos as I have some lush chilli cheese 😋

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
