Lovely violets @Pat E - one of my favourite flowers, my late mother's garden was covered with wild ones. I took some home and now my garden's covered as well.
@Chicky, I think you'll love Corfe Castle, it was a familiar feature from my childhood. Has a romantic and inspiring history to it as well.
@Fairygirl, I thought Snowdon was 2nd from Ben Nevis in terms of height? Are there taller mountains in Scotland?
@Punkdoc, hope you get sorted at your surgery, rather impressed with ours, just had a 10 minute telephone consultation re my vertigo and now booked in for a rather scary sounding 'positional manoeuvre' next week which will apparently make me feel awful! Also booked us in for flu jabs, OH's PSA test and a telephone consultation about his knee with his GP.
A friend sent me a picture of a sign outside a cafe, said Use your mask like your knickers, put on, don't fiddle, disguard when damp,clean every time, don't share, and don't go Commando. I thought that was brilliant. Just been to Tesco for flu jab, young bloke stocking shelves, removed mask from nose and mouth to chat to his mate, (nope, it wasn't work related) Maybe I got it wrong, says assistants to wear masks, silly me, I didn't realise you could wear them around your chin, (or anywhere else you fancy!!)
Hello @Lizzie27 Just a word of reassurance for you re your vertigo. I had this test about 2 weeks ago for my vertigo and almost didn't go through worry. But I did. I had eye tests as well as ear tests and the positional manoeuvre test was in a darkened room, standing on a platform with a supporting rail around me. After some red spots on the wall, still then moving, the only thing that was weird was a discotheque silver ball that threw moving lights on the wall. Weird but not awful. Take heart, it's not so bad. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.
Sadly I failed with the GP's. They say they have had so many requests, that they decided the only way to cope was on an age related basis. I explained that this was incredibly stupid, but they would not change the policy. I have tried phoning round local chemists, but there are no dates available until the end of October. Nothing to do but wait. I am fuming.
B*gger @punkdoc. I find that hard to understand. I can understand why you're angry. Can you book it at the chemist? I've never had to get one so I have no idea. The smirr eventually ceased, and we even have a bit of sun. Pity it hadn't appeared a little earlier, but that's the way it is. I've done very little today other than faff around and do some indoor jobs now and again.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
No 'flu jabs in France until mid October, for anyone.
I spent an hour and a half in the veg garden getting up 2 huge barrows of huge weeds and remains of the broad beans, cabbages and leeks sown last year. I hadn't touched it since February because of being in England then clearing stuff in the house. It was quite warm in the sun. Then I went to Leclerc. OH rang when I got back.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks @tuikowhai34 for that reassurance, although I'm just going to the surgery -doubt whether they have a platform there! Do you feel any better now?
@Punkdoc - that's appalling treatment. Any chance of your local big SM's doing them?
@Fairygirl - didn't realize that. Is that perhaps the Scottish ones have recently been re-measured or has that always been the case? Glad you enjoyed your climb the other day anyway.
That's quite a big job @Busy-Lizzie, any veg left suitable for cooking?

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

Thanks @Fairygirl, I shall record it too.
