I've enjoyed the day (apart from getting substituted Easter Eggs - boo hoo) but have only managed to move a Knautia Macedonia to a better position in the same bed. Dug up pieces of Rudbeckia at the same time and a Campanula which I will need to repot tomorrow, weather permitting. Only had a slight shower overnight by the look of it, we could do with some more but only when I'm asleep! Must have missed a post about Busy-Lizzie's donkey, what happened to it?
Nothings happened to him @Lizzie27 😊 ... it’s just that I wondered about it contributing to manure for @Busy-Lizzie’s veg patch ... but she can’t go in the field to poo-pick cos of his bad temper 😢
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Nothing @Lizzie27. @Busy-Lizzie and the previous owners are having trouble re-homing him because he's anti-social. I've suggested a donkey sanctuary in the Dordogne as they would know how to handle and rehabilitate him.

Teamwork @Hostafan1 🤗... it’s been going on here too ... OH has been up on the Shady Bank weeding, cutting back and tieing in while I’ve been wielding the hoe and the secateurs with my feet firmly planted on the ground 😉

Indeedy, keep those feet on the ground. No pirouetting about the place
I did want to be a ballerina once upon a time @Hostafan1 but Ma said I’d get big muscley legs that wouldn’t look nice ... so I stuck with horse riding, hockey and bicycling ... and got big muscley legs anyway 🙄. (Is that how you spell ‘muscley’? It looks very odd) 🤪

Thank you for that link @Obelixx, I'll tell his owner. He has found a place at https://www.assoadada.fr/, but it's 5 - 6 hours drive away. They will borrow my horse trailer if he goes there. But the place you found is so much nearer.
I've been very lazy today, no gardening, but I did polish the pine dresser with wax polish and I cleaned the bedroom floors. Also went to Bricomarché, D.I.Y, bought paint and a long handled roller for ceilings, and paint for painting furniture. The builders have plastered the whole study, the utility room ceiling and the tool room. I will be painting it all.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
