I’ve just been out to check the rain gauge and the strawberries. Wow! 78mm rain since yesterday’s reading, and another tray full of strawberries. This weather has made such a difference to the garden. The river is right up to both banks on both sides, as well.
It’s a bit hard to get used to after the last few years of no rain. 😳
Hubby has been struggling to get mowing done. First the mower needed service, then the brush cutter had to go in for repair and then the tractor had to be attended to. They’ve been sitting in the shed all winter.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Those are really lovely pictures @Pat E 😊 I’m heading off to the farm shop and butcher later this morning to get our usual week’s supplies and then I may go to another farm shop a bit further away as they often have some large gammon hocks 🤞
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@Obelixx - we got it here at 4.30am - bucketing down. It has stopped now, but the sky is a steely grey and the sun has gone on holiday!!
Ripper of a photo @Pat E !! Betcha glad of some water to fill the tanks! @punkdoc Sounds like some good care for your MIL and peace of mind for you and yours.
Some more baking today - mince pies. The French love them! @D0rdogne_Damsel Those Christmas cakes look beautiful - well done you!!
Must dash, lots to get done. Have an enjoyable day all.

Morning all, grey and dull again, woken by yapping dog, again, not sure which house it belongs to, maybe just as well, not sure what I would do if I did know.
Morning all, had a very disturbed night with wind and rain, the wind has blown a lot of things all over the garden, haven't yet ventured out to clear up as it's still blowing a hoolie. Lovely photos @Pat E, It's good that you have some breathing space @punkdoc to discuss the best options for MIl. I would love a gammon joint if their is one please while you are at the farm shop @Dovefromabove, with this hoolie blowing it could be here by the end of the day Belated congratulations @chicky, love the cakes @D0rdogne_Damsel. Have a good day all.

Problem is going to come: persuading MIL to go to a home, and then finding the means to pay for it.
