Ours needed a lot of work which we didn’t have time to do. I also remember us taking a journey with our two dogs in the back, and one or both being sick on the back shelf. That was a right b....r to clean up. However, it did go like a rocket, and I enjoyed driving it. Incensed to read on, I think, Topgear, that it was a blokes car, and Clarkson or one of his team saying that he’d never seen a woman driving one! Why? We didn’t keep it for more than a few years though, and moved on to a VW camper which was better suited for our life style.

That's 'cos we were whizzing past him ... just a blur ....
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Home again, home again, jigidy jig. Good journey back in spite of driving through some rain, nothing too heavy or persistent. We had a pit stop at Van Hague, and somehow 3 nice Echinacea ( 3 for price of 2 special) made it into our car can't think how that happened 😉 All a bit damp here, so there must have been rain here earlier. The squirrels look like they have been having fun while we were away. A broken down sunflower and stuff scattered all over the greenhouse 😠

After an awful wet Saturday today has been ok and now turned into a lovely evening. I've even managed to get the evening off work too, so enjoying an apéro before a late roast pork Sunday dinner.
Glad you have had a nice weekend @Busy-Lizzie, good to have someone else doing the cooking for a change.
Loving all your nostalgia too,

I hope you enjoy your stay and meal with your daughter, @Lizzie27, as much as I enjoyed mine. Daughter is now making soup with veg from her garden. I'm going home tomorrow morning.
Gosh, @D0rdogne_Damsel starting to look autumnal, those leaves are almost golden.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm wrestling with this area in our plot; this was where our chickens/ducks used to live before they were all taken by predators (we will have more in a safer environment with a roof as they were killed from above). The plan is to have a seating area, wildlife pond with waterfall- the majority of the ground will be grassed but I have the opportunity to create several borders. We've made a straight path with borders either side that can be as wide as we want, I've started to plant them up with shrubs and trees, symmetrical so far: Box cones and balls Robinia Lace Lady Twisty Babe Artemesia Nana Attraction Erigeron Hostas,Ferns, Delphiniums and Foxgloves
Question is, you wise owls, I've got 300 spring bulbs to dob in - do you do the bulbs first or the perennials/shrubs? What's a good plan to indicate there's bulbs under there, so don't dig them up as I have in the past 😏😜

My best plans for getting into the garden fell by the wayside and a siesta won hands down
@Allotment Boy ... flamin' wildlife eh? 😬

Back to my pre dinner drink and enjoying a calm serene view from from my back terrace. Autumn's coming....
Cheers all, have a good evening. 🍷
