    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Thanks @Hostafan1 🤗 
    my neck feels quite good this morning so I’ll do as I did yesterday ... not much noodling on here ... I have bread to make and masks to sew ... as well as more seedlings to prick out. 

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

    Beautiful morning here ☀️☀️☀️  Think we escaped the frost this time.  Like @punkdoc, there’s lots of damage from the one on tuesday night - most will recover, but I have never seen rhododendron flowers decimated before ☹️.  We’ve had late frosts before, but not after a very warm spring that has got everything going early.

    Think we are due to warm up here now, so will start potting on my seedlings - I held off as they were easier to cover and fleece in their smaller pots.

    Yesterday had a good clear through and weed of a flower bed that is normally neglected as I never have time to get to it.  The joys of 7 days a week to garden 🥳🥳🥳.  Today I am going to cut some new edges for it, and tackle a few other problem areas.

    Morning all/afties Pat. Hope you're cosy enough now. Mind - plenty of pegs on that washing  ;)
    We don't have any to go out today. It's certainly good and windy, but leaden skies. Not sure if it's going to stay dry all day. To be wet at the weekend so I could do with cutting the front grass before that. 
    Maybe you need one of those neck braces like the woman in Doc Martin always wears @Dovefromabove ;)
    I use some of those heat pads, but it's comforting rather than beneficial for me. I have so many aches and pains I'd need a full size heated bodysuit. 
    Tidying is very satisfying @chicky - especially outside, rather than inside.
    I'll give you a 'heads up' re Beechgrove this week, for all the laydees who like Mr Beardshaw.... ;)
    More idiots out this morning. Am I going to have to walk at midnight to avoid them?
    Sigh.....
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hi all

    Never mind the laydees, I love Mr Beardshaw, always enjoyed his Chelsea gardens.

    It would be lovely if he were back on Gardeners World, was there a falling out?
