Good morning Forkers asunder! Looks as if the summer is a-comin' in!! Wind has dropped (so far - it's early) and the sun is sunning. My taddies are froggies and the first ripe tomatoes are beginning to appear. @punkdoc - welcome home. Take it easy and enjoy your day. @D0rdogne_Damsel those photos are stunning - the wine looks pretty good, too!
Summer! Where!? It’s dark and grey and we have rain of Old Testament amounts ..., it’s a deluge 🌧 .... my poor little seedlings that I pricked out the other day will need snorkels ... I can hear all the gutters and drains overflowing down the street!!!
There was a chance that my son was going to have to come to Norwich today and he was going to make a half hour to sit in my garden and have a socially distanced chat ... now his plans have changed as the equipment he was coming for isn’t available yet and will be ‘shipped’ 😉 to them. It would’ve been nice to see him ... I’ve not seen him since January ... but it’s not a ‘sitting in the garden’ sort of a day. 🚣♂️

Good morning all. Have just put a load of washing on hoping that the sun might appear for once, but it looks more like rain again. Must go and check on my Salvia and Penstemon cuttings in the GH. I tried last year with Salvia Blue Skies without success - (the leaves are very leathery) so i thought I would have another go. It will then be time for coffee and a croissant, plenty to go round for you all.
Thats reminded me I must get some salvia cuttings going too @floralies. I have some caradonna, but would like some more 😋
Going to visit an NT garden today with a couple of friends I haven’t seen since January. Golf umbrellas ☔️ willbe needed, but that all helps with the social distancing 👍🏻. The water butts are filling up nicely. We have a scorcher forecast here for next week, so some good natural watering is most welcome.
@Pat E .....I see Boris Johnson is trying to negotiate a trade deal with Aus ......quoted as saying we Brits have been deprived of tariff free Tim Tams for too long 🤣. HOoray, hooray, we love Tim Tams here 👍🏻

so glad you’re home Punkdoc and that everyone else is sounding bright. Sorry about the lost jobs though.
Catch up later.
How lovely to check this morning and the forum pop up on my tablet. It was a lovely surprise 😁

Raining and foggy, but I don't care. Am surrounded by trees and it feels wonderful.
