    That's good news @Ben Cotto - but sounds extremely expensive.

    In Italian class last Monday the teacher posed the discussion topic, what would we do if we won the Euromillions  jackpot. The others were buying palazzi in Tuscany, small vineyards, a painting by Filippo Lippi … but when it came to my turn I said I would pay the vet’s bill.

    Och bejaysus. Just opened the door to let the pooch out for his last wee and saw this. Wasn't expecting that.  Glad I'm going to bed.

    Lovely fat flower buds on my mahonia and also on my winter flowering honeysuckle.  Both have lovely perfume and feed any pollinators about.

    Just noticed at lunchtime @Obelixx that there are buds and even one or two flowers on my winter flowering clematis. It's so nice to see from the dining room table. Yesterday the SM delivery man told me there was a big fat bumblebee in my cyclamen flowers.

    Crikey @BenCotto, and I thought my dentist's bill was on the high side!

    My Clematis Nelli Moser had 3 flowers on it last week. Never seen that at this time of the year before, its a summer flowering Clematis as far as I know.
