I stamped on a snail yesterday when P was here. He was horrified, he said he use to gather them up and put them in the paddock. I remember, years ago, when Pippa Greenwood on GW gathered snails from her veg garden and put a little blob of white paint on each then throw them into a field next door. A few days later they were all back in her garden!
I'm taking coffee back to bed with my book, then off to the market to buy English sausages, 3 sorts, I've ordered them to make sure they don't run out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I think I’m going to have to make my own coffee this morning ... OH is still in the Land of Nod and he’s not working today so I’ll tiptoe ............well, just as I was writing that a really noisy flock of geese flew over, honking as they went ... that’s unusual this early in the year ... we usually hear them later in the year when pairs that have nested on the marshes here fly their family out to the big grazing marshes at the mouth of the Yare in the mornings and back again in the evenings....
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Ah ... the geese woke the coffee maker from his slumbers .... he’s muttering about ‘wildlife’ ... he says he’s been awake half the night with cats fighting, chickens clucking and bees buzzing ... and just as he got back to sleep the geese flew over and shouted at him 🤣 He’s got such sensitive hearing ..... 🐝 🐓 🐈
PS ... apparently owls have been shouting at him all night too 🦉

Morning folks,yes I have been up an hour and a half,got the dark wash done and in the tumble dryer unfortunately.its raining,so I've put all the orchids outside on the step. It's been very warm and dry. Our north facing conservatory got up to 40,c,29c outside. Took the grandkids on the pier yesterday,had a huge Tin of coppers for the arcade machines. The machines were being very generous even the "grab" machines. Taking them home today, love them loads,but always glad to see the back of them after a week! Popping in to see other grannies new puppy,on route
I have every sympathy with your OH @Dovefromabove my wife swears that I can hear the grass grow! I can't have a bedroom window open if the wind is in a certain direction I can hear the A41, nearly a mile away. We have the bathroom window open, and don't shut the bedroom door for fresh air at night.
Morning all . I can count on one hand the number of times I've slept with the bedroom window open in this house. I hear every owl, critters on the gravel drive, the odd car. It's a nightmare

There were some honking fowl overhead at the track this morning @Dovefromabove. I thought they were rating my performance
Looks like we're back to wall-to-wall blue sky and sunshine today after yesterday's aberration. Happy days!
Good luck with that @Hostafan1.
Can't cope with more funeral stuff today, so back into the garden, if my aching back will allow it.
