    Blimey - it is a bit nippy out there. Ground frozen solid but chopped some more of the bushes in the back corner this morning. Had a bit of a shed tidy - basically, anything that won't like the increasing levels of damp is now.

    I know the style @Ladybird4 but can't decide if I can justify the cost of the biggest size or get the next one down

    They chucked in a free packet of parsnips as well @PurpleRose. I've never grown them and don't have the space but.....

    Hello all. Just watched England beat Italy (and so they should) but they got a rude awakening when Italy got a try in the first minutes. Scotland v Wales next. My Bestie has had her first vaccine. She is in the next cohort. Not had any effects.
    RosieBB, that is a lovely picture of Alfie. He looks very chilled out.

    Afternoon everyone.

    Debs, congratulations! Beautiful boy and beautiful name.

    Rosie, lovely photo. He enjoys in warm house.

    Here is still awful. At 3pm wind was extremely strong, now is slightly better. I spent almost whole day with book near radiator.  Some furniture waits for assembling but not today.  Last two deliveries came yesterday and now I have everything in house. Believe me or not but I'm baking sweet scones filled with marmalade.

    Oh wow Ante. That is a beautiful picture.The sun looks just like a fireball in the sky. I know, I know, it IS a fireball but you know what I mean! Your sweet scones with marmalade sound very delicious. Please send one down the tunnel, it will go wonderfully with my cuppa.
