Huge difference between Cheshire and Yorkshire ! Also west side of the Pennines is completely different to the east side ! Much of a muchness ? really ?
@Tracy.key2 😊 @punkdoc and I are old friends from waaaaay back … from time to time we indulge in a little mutual leg pulling …. as with most (but apparently not all) folk from ‘oop north’ he has a well developed and rather dry sense sense of humour which matches my own. If you read back on today’s posts you’ll see ‘he started it’ 🤣
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've planted all my new plants. It's been a lovely day. We had lunch in the garden. The chicken and leek pie went down well for our anniversary dinner, washed down with bubbly, followed by strawberries and cream.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Ahhh! The wind has abated. We had 100kmph yesterday afternoon!! The sun is shining and the pot plants and flower garden have had a drink! The swallows are swooping and those darned pigeons are cooing.
Our "Spanish influenced" festivities started yesterday evening with a flamenco show and a pena - a (not altogether) oompa brass band. Fabulous! Lots of people, some masked, some not as masks are not mandatory in open air spaces. Respectful distancing even though there were lots of people. Pastis, rosé, Monaco and Diabolo Menthe!! The Feria in Beziers seems to be still going ahead early August.
@Obelixx I am a chocaholic too. There's always a comment in the chocolate aisle from the shoppers, that it's the best aisle in the supermarket where you'll find the connaisseurs! Yes, I too, find bacon with rind at our LeClerc. I try not to indulge, but there's nothing that beats a busman's breakfast!! (Or full English!)
@Busy-Lizzie Happy Anniversary to you both. Nice you were finally in the same room!

There’s some folk who think that Suffolk and Norfolk are similar 🤯
