Hi folks, Haven't been around much as I've been having trouble with my eyes. Have got some eye drops for infected eyes now and they seem to be improving.
Wonderful news @Liriodendron so glad that mother and baby are doing well. Good to hear from you @WonkyWomble
Have been looking after Jonah and Gabriel today so Secondborn and her hubby could go out for a meal and have a well earned break from the kiddies.
I've been making plans for growing veg next year in containers so I'll be looking for some help as I've never grown any before. Enjoy the rest of the weekend .
Waving to @Pat E if you’re looking in ... the news from SE Australia is concerning so sending you hugs. 🤗
Thankfully yesterday’s gusty wind has dropped. I’ll need to check whether the climbers and beans etc need tieing in etc ... and I must get around to sowing the gorgeous lupin seeds that arrived from Chilterns the other day.
I also need to make some flatbreads and a chilli for supper, and soup for OH’s flask for tomorrow and Wednesday as he’s working two long days so will need lunch.
A busy day ahead ... I’d better give my coffee-maker a nudge 😉
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Don't tell anyone but we have our first sunny morning in weeks. I've taken the rain cover of the table on the terrace, fed the birds who are all very chatty this morning and am now enjoying my first coffee of the day with the window wide open while I watch the morning news.
Planning to plant out some shrubs today and maybe weed the rose beds and plant out some small dianthus and maybe hang the door back on the hen house.
Hope everyone's had a good sleep and gets some fair weather today.

Morning all/afties Pat if you're there. Nice to see some blue sky here,although still very breezy. I have washing out, so hopefully it won't take long to dry. Boiler man is here, so fingers crossed it won't take long to fix. Hope your eyes are ok @Yviestevie. Unpleasant. Were you swinging round the lamppost too @Liriodendron, a la Mr Kelly? My favourite film of all time. Gently does it @Obelixx. I could do with getting some compost to pot on the lettuce I sowed, but that may have to wait. Other than that, deadheading and grass cutting if it dries well enough. Might have to do it anyway, wet or dry, as the forecast isn't great over the next few days anyway.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Morning all. Got a lovely photo sent by WhatsApp of the 2-year-old holding the baby's hand and looking amazed... no doubt it will develop before long into poking the baby to see if it makes him cry...
Lampposts here double up as telegraph poles, @Fairygirl, so swinging round them would give me splinters... or that's my excuse, anyway. Can't dance like Mr Kelly either... but then, who can?
Hope you get your leak sorted, Fairy. We have a tiler here at the mo. Can't go into the extension until this evening so I hope I've taken everything we need, out of the study. Not much more for workmen to do now!
Sorry you're having eye problems, @Yviestevie - hope the drops work fast.
Rain has stopped so I might get some weeding done...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Who can indeed @Liriodendron. No one compares Man has been and gone. All done and very simple, thankfully. Hope your tiling is nice and quick too. One of my favourite photos is a few feet away from me. Older fairylet holding the little 'un. Little fairylet will be 23 next month....how time flies Morning @Hostafan1. I heard someone on the radio this morning saying they were driving to Cornwall, and I though of you. Hope they didn't come too near you on their way
