Afternoon folks, Glad to see you again @Hostafan1 give it a few weeks and we'll all be feeling better as spring starts to kick in.
It's a bright sunny day here but there are dark clouds looming. Haven't done much I'm still planning and organising moving things round to accommodate the new raised beds and the removal of the play house. Have ordered a large garden storage box to keep the garden cushions in and that should be arriving Saturday so we'll need to move quite a few pots to fit it in.
Seems like there were quite a few near misses in addition to those that were unlucky enough to suffer from flooding. It must be terrible, even more so this year.
@steveTu Unfortunately we’ve been railroaded out with the rest 😖 so I might have to put my hand in my pocket ... if I face the low trellis with the Clem. cirr. ‘Freckles’, next to the Vib. Bodnantense ‘Charles Lamont’ that should be the right direction ... give it plenty of welly ... if it lands short it’ll finish up on the grazing marshes the other side of the Rise ... and that’s flooded at the moment. 😩

Just had a nasty thought - I'm not sure I have enough fertiliser to power my home made mortar given the density of the pud. Maybe I'll have to attach it to some migrating African Swallows.
You won’t need explosives if you have a heavy enough counterweight for the trebuchet ... I’m sure you can come up with something 😉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet

It is blowing a hooly again out there now and we have unpredicted heavy rain with thunder and lightning which is fine, except that OH has taken the dogs for walkies cos the forecast said dry for the next 2 hours. Bonzo hates electrical storms....
At the same time we have clear skies to the west so there's an eerie golden glow against purple-grey skies. Roll on spring and a bit of warmth.
Will the cushions not get damp @Yviestevie? I tend to hide ours on top of wardrobes and cupboards but it's a pain and as we get older there'll be more seats and more cushions........

We've also got a gorgeous pink sunset now. A lovely sight. Just refilled the bird feeders and found lots of feathers/small bones of a deceased pigeon on the lawn. A sparrowhawk strike by the look of it. Not a lovely sight.
Had a lovely long chat with daughter in her new house which has a ceramic hob in the kitchen. She's asked me to find out if she needs special pans for it - does anybody know please? It's an extra expense she could do without at the moment if not.
