Keep an eye on it @Lizzie27 . A few years ago i was diagnosed with takotsubo. It mimics a heart attack and is bought on by stress. Commonly known as broken heart. I am recovered now.
@raisingirl - you're right. I should try making it again for her. Your ingredient mix sounds good ( plus a few raisins and perhaps butter vs suet if that won't kill the structure). I'll do it next weekend and surprise her with it .
@Lizzie27 - hope your day gets better, happy tulip planting.
@punkdoc !!! there's no better excuse to join us on the sofa than to watch Shirley McLaine and Jack Lemmon in The Apartment on BBC 2 just after 3pm this afternoon
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@Lizzie27 I hope somewhere suitable turns up soon. Should you go to your doc for a check up?
I've just had a forbidden bonfire, President Macron says they are polluting, but I'm miles from anyone and I hope it hasn't been noticed. I've burnt all the old rotting boxes and rubbish from the cave and all the old horse food sacks that mounted up and never got thrown away from the horse feed and tack shed. It has saved a 20 minutes run to the tip and 20 mins back thereby saving on polluting diesel in my car!

Thanks for good wishes folks. I had lots of heart tests a year or so ago when my sister was diagnosed and was told I was A1. It is probably just the stress. I feel okay physically now. Had to move things before I could plant the tulips which took time and only got about a dozen in. My garden's so packed I don't have an awful of lot spare space anywhere. Might just shove them in in the grass verge outside our fence, they're last years I had in pots, about 30 odd left over. Good for you @Busy-Lizzie, there's nothing like a good bonfire.
Six and half a dozen @Busy-Lizzie - we won't grass you up I can understand how stressed you are @Lizzie27. Be kind to yourself for a while So much for our nice day - that didn't last long! Sleety rain as soon as I went for my walk. There was a lovely rainbow against the leaden sky but I had no camera unfortunately. It dried up but it's been mainly wet since, so no digging for me. However, JW is playing Tiny Dancer, so that makes up for it.... Michael Barry who used to do the Food and Drink prog many years ago, with that mad wumman who did the wine, did a fruit mix for mince pies that used apple juice. I remember making them. I don't like mince pies, but I made them for my mum and dad, and I remember those being quite nice.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
