Forgot to say earlier that today is the international day of the Cuddle - but I wouldn't advise it with anyone who is not of your immediate household.
I may have a seedling relocation problem too @D0rdogne_Damsel when I do get sowing. The hens go in the polytunnel for their dust baths while it's so wet outside and there is a none too fine film of dust all over my citrus plants, fuchsias, lemon grass and small divisions that need shelter from the cold. No roof on the barns now so and I had been using one as a potting shed as it's cooler than the PT.

My bare-root strawberries arrived this morning, along with a few shrubs which the RHS says are resistant to honey fungus.
Yes, a completely different "vibe" on here today... perhaps @chicky might feel like popping in and having a look... that would be perfect. (Sorry, "perfect" is one of the few locally-used words I've picked up so far... that, and "grand", plus the use of "so" at the end of a sentence)
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
ANY suet pudding - steamed....hmmmmm. Bacon pudding a winter 'stodge' that takes me back to my childhood..
Nope ... steaming away on an upturned saucer in a big stock pot, kitchen window open to let the steam out
Love ‘bacon pudding ... we do it with chopped onions, lots of chopped parsley in a suet roly poly, steamed in a pudding cloth ... Ma’s family’s Bedfordshire Clanger 😋
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@Dovefromabove - ditto for the bacon pud and onion although me old mum then added a sprinkle of sage/onion stuffing and I tend to alternate between adding a bit of mixed herbs or horseradish to the suet mix. Just decided to make one next week... hope it stays cold as it's a good excuse to warm yourself up isn't it?
🤤 We could send a carrier pigeon over @steveTu .... or I could email you the plans for a DIY trebuchet ... we’re good at catching 😉 whereabouts are you? Which way should we be facing and what sorting time will it be ready 😃

Face just west of SSW about 8pm - I'll let you know the day when I've checked the football schedule and seen when Spurs are playing (or not - as they tend not to under Jose). I'll add some cochineal so you can see it coming. Is Norfolk in or out of the EU, as you may be liable for duty and VAT?

I hope you're both well.
I'm hardly surprised to see you're keeping busy.

Agree about @chicky too. She did pop up on the Covid thread a couple of days ago on the subject of local vaccine centres.
