    Morning Dove and DD.  I’m glad you’ve found ways to keep warm and busy.   We moved a bit more wood, but not chainsawing. It all helps to clear the area up. It was low 20 s today, so not really hot.

  • Morning @Dovefromabove , @D0rdogne_Damsel and evening/afternoon @Pat E. Low 20s and sunny or high 20s in shade sound like optimal conditions for genus Desi ! :)
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    Wish I could send you some warm weather Desi. No doubt we will be in a reverse position in a couple of months.  We are only about an hour’s drive from the ski fields in southern NSW, so when winter hits here, we will be shivering.

    Only a light covering of snow here ....looks very pretty.  We got out for a walk yesterday and it was bitterly cold, but lovely at the same time.  We are forecast -7 on Wednesday, which is very low for us.

    Today will be spent staring at a screen as its a College day 🤓.  Then an NGS zoom talk on snowdrops this evening.  My pots of special ones are doing brilliantly this year 👍🏻.  This time last year we were jetting off to Australia for a month (what a strange concept now) so instead of weekly liquid feed I gave them a dose of slow release granules....and it seems to have suited them very well.

    Pleased to hear the meds are working for SiL @Yviestevie ......everything crossed that he has now turned a corner.  Big hugs for you 🤗

    Morning all,  evening @Pat E if
     you could send some sunshine please,  I need all this snow to melt!! 

    That's the view from the kitchen window just now.  The bird feeders have never been so busy and that's saying something here!

    @Yviestevie, so glad to hear your news,  here's to a steady and full recovery. X

    @Hostafan1 start in bed with electric blanket!! 😉

    Hello @chicky any chance of a picture of your posh snowdrops? Can't see mine under all the snow! Sounds like the course is fascinating 😀

     Good morning @Dovefromabove, what's your weather like today? As you can see,  little has changed here!
  • Much the same here @WonkyWomble ...
    even the milkman hasn’t made it here yet this morning and it takes a lot to stop him ... he’s Eastern European and says Pah! to our English snow ... it isn’t real snow .... but it seems that it is real this time. ❄️

    @Dovefromabove, yup step womble is very jealous of our proper snow.  They have pathetic snow in Brighton apparently!!

    You're all welcome to keep your snow . Vastly over rated IMHO
