    Not really RTBC but I had to smile yesterday when I saw a recovery lorry, with a car on the back, broken down at the side of the road with the bonnet up.

    Yesterday, to my surprise, my small urban garden was briefly visited by a handsome cock pheasant.  That was a first.

    Road sign seen near Chauché (not by me) - interpret as you see fit but it made me smile.

  • Mine is I have found a recipe for a soggy fruit cake as requested by a friend who shares my birthday date, but he is going to be 90 this year and I am not!
    It is an old fashioned boiled fruit cake recipe and is yummy.
    Of course I had to make one to try it out for texture and taste.

    That reminds me of the time the safety car crashed at the Monaco Grand Prix!

    Lots of green buds on various shrubs, including recently transplanted raspberries, and a large fuchsia I transplanted in the autumn and was afraid I might have lost.  And I think I can see tiny new buds on some of the hawthorn cuttings I took in the autumn.  Still waiting to see if any seedlings appear from the elderberries, filberts and Rosa rugosa hips I sowed in pots.
