Evening all, just back from seeing family in Bournemouth. Had a smashing walk up to the top of Hengistbury Head near Mudeford spit. Windy enough to blow the cobwebs away but very exhilarating. Saw runners coming up to the finishing post there - a 31 miler from Ringwood which is good going, particularly for one 70 - 80 yr ? old gentleman. Respect!
Grandchildren very good at instructing me on the new Smartphone, let's hope I remember what to do.
Daughter however, sounds as though she's having a big wobble and is not communicating so may have to do an emergency dash down to Devon soon.
Lovely pic @chicky. You should add it to the camera thread too. I'm trying to keep that going. It's nice for anything that isn't our garden, or for small adventures close by.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Me neither @Liriodendron - even the plain ones are too much faff. Love soda bread tho - as long as it's wholemeal and then it can be sweet or savoury as it wishes.
@Lizzie27 - hope you can get your daughter back on track. Not easy but all the best for her anyway.
@chicky - those low clouds with silver linings look like snow covered mountains. Good photo.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Evening all, Hope everyone is OK. I finally feel I can draw breath now. We had the sitting room decorated on Friday and have spent the last two days putting everything back and hanging curtains etc. For the first time in ages I have a quiet week coming up. I only have Nanna Duty on Friday so I might get some time in the garden if we get some reasonable weather. I have lots of bulbs to plant and haven't done any deadheading for weeks.

yes, should say congratulations @Obelixx ... impressive 👍 I share Possum’s appreciation of a John Wayne cowboy film. 😊
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Terrific record.

Gorgeous photo, @chicky...
Hope you had a happy birthday, @Biglad. With Cake. Naturally...
All that chicken poo will be great on your compost heap, @Obelixx !
Sorry your daughter isn't doing so well, @Lizzie27 . Hope you get better news soon.
Watched "Bake Off" repeat this afternoon. Some of the soda breads looked yummy, but I won't be making multi-coloured bagels any time soon.
