    Just caught up on the last page here - Avon Bulbs have Thalia @B3.
    They also have Silver Chimes which is lovely. One of my favourites  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Just cooked a free range pork tenderloin in my slow cooker, served with roast potatoes, and sage and onion stuffing, cooked in the air fryer ( with help from the microwave for the potatoes and the sprouts ) Delicious, and I’m feeling very virtuous!

    They're beautiful @Fairygirl. I'll look out for them. I love a little white narcissus. The big ones like ice follies, I dislike but they're awful hardy. There's some knocking about from when we moved here in the 90s and some that turned up mislabelled. I have never knowingly planted them but still they cone😕
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    According to it I should be from the Ipswich/Norwich area. I don’t believe I am but would be happy to find I was.

    Theres little enough to be cheerful about in the political world these days, but this is really good news, not just for the Brazilians, but for the global environment

    Anything would be better than the person he was up against.  Don't forget however that he was kicked out before because of the level of corruption under his government.

    But those charges against him were investigated and found to be concocted ... trumped up even ...

    Right then, I'm on a roll, back out to do more gardening. Feel pleased that it's not raining so that I can get on with it.
