    @Ladybird4 not sure if I have the right name, but is it  Jean Howe who does nativity and little knitted figure patterns.

    Oops Greenhowe not Howe 🤦🏻‍♀️🤭
    @Rubee 
    Yes she does, I've got some  of hers, but not the nativity one. Tried to get it a couple of years ago in a wool shop I go to but they had sold out. Except for their display one in the window. But they wouldn't let me buy that one 😕

    Morning all.
    She's a clever knitter. I'm hopeless all thumbs. I'd rather prick out Lobelia seedlings!

    @star gaze lily the roses I have already, homeless ones, on top of page 83.
    @Topbird, I haven't had Darcey Bussell before. I had Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Falstaff at the old house, but climbing ones, they look a bit similar.

    I'm off to the big plant nursery now the 10km lockdown limit is over. It's only about 12 mins away. 
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    @Topbird I have Darcy Bussell not a fan I am afraid. Flowers are beautiful colour but not a strong scent and it hasn’t thrived in my care. Prone to black spot and rather “ weedy” I wouldn’t recommend it.

    SGL, I have several of her pattern books - brilliant! I am off to the tip now and hoping the vile weather will put others off.
    Ruby I hadn't realised that she has done those LOD character patterns. Her name didn't crop up when I was doing my search.

    Tip run accomplished and its still persisting down. Don't think I'll get into the garden today so I'm off to look at my patterns to see if I can find one to adapt.

    The sun came out for awhile this afternoon, but still very breezy. It's now very overcast and the wind is really picking up again. 
    Hope everyone has had a good day.
    Hope to see @Chivetalking soon. Thinking of you and your family.

    Evening all,

    Running around a field duties this afternoon. Could only be described as damp and chilly :o 

    It has just started raining again so I'll be in the loft shortly. Need to work out why water is intermittently dribbling through one of the light fittings in the bathroom :(

    The forecast for the rest of the week is sunny and dry so hoping for a productive couple of days outside.

    Evening Biglad. I do hope that you manage to track down the leak before any major damage is done. Tomorrow is forecast to be the best day of the week where I am so I'm hoping to get into the garden too.
    I'm signing out for today people. See you all tomorrow.
    Have a Great Evening Everyone  GoodEveningSMSCom
