    I have a lot in common with the Suffolk Punch ... and I’m a Suffolk farmer’s daughter 😉
     

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

    Does anyone remember what the news used to be about?
     How did they fill the papers and the news websites?
    Have we had a good few months to bury bad news?
    Does climate change mean that we no longer get storms in teacups?

    So fed up with the London and SE news that I selected North West tonight and they have that lovely new Welsh chap as their weather forecaster.  He's great.  Lots of news about China..........

    Never lived in Yorkshire so have never watched their regional news but I do love it for history and travel and wildlife and so on.

    I'm stuck with a couple of lockdown panic buys that I wouldn't normally have bought in a fit.a
    I was in Aldi a couple  of months ago looking for bread flour when I spotted some healthy-looking geraniums and petunias in leaf no flowers. I bought them. They turned out to be the geraniums you get on municipal lampposts and Barbie pink petunias. I hate them. The geraniums are screaming at my coreopsis moonbeam and the petunias are hidden in a corner, watered rarely and deadheaded even less.

    Dig them up and put them out by your garden gate - somebody will love them. I bought two very dainty looking white hardy geraniums whilst we were away. After I had paid for them and just as I was going out, I innocently asked the grower if they 'ran'. Oh yes, he said, absolute thugs!!!!
