Afternoon all, had a much better day, sunshine, mild and dry until 4.30 pm when we had a surprise short shower. Fortunately I'd just finished gardening. Have now mulched all my roses, clematis, soft fruit and asparagus. Alas, what I thought were the new spears are actually raspberry runners from the bed opposite. That wasn't supposed to happen! Not sure what to do now.
Hope you feel better soon @Busy-Lizzie and that everyone else has enjoyed their day. Not good news @punkdoc, sincerely hope it's not needed..
Very surprised at the shock news about P & O - disgraceful way to treat employees.
It's obviously been milder down here, my magnolia stellata is fully out and looking magnificent despite a hard frost a couple of mornings ago.
Lovely pics with Nazanin's family in the papers today.
There was a small bit of crumble left over, so I just had it with a cuppa BEFORE my tea. I needed a brufen and you shouldn’t take them on an empty stomach- that’s my excuse anyway.Â
I hope you are all ok. Dare we be hopeful of a dry and warmer weekend ahead??Â
Days are warming up here but nights will drop to 1 or 2° Some plants just breaking the soil and daffodils just starting to emerge from buds.
My son bought in a huge bunch of daffs yesterday straight from Cornwall,  I put them in 3 vases.  One type has a beautiful smell. Busy today with my big garden tidy up.Â
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.Â
Lovely steak and kidney @Dovefromabove, but I have just had a full English, so no room.
Had some great news this afternoon, new neighbours will move in tomorrow, so that will be our little hamlet of 4 houses full and the nasty ex NDN gone for good.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

I'm so pleased for you both. New beginnings of sorts.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Adam was good as gold this morning but a handful this afternoon.
Tummy is better than it was but not right yet.
Home tomorrow.

S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
We've just eaten a lovely quiche Lorraine (courtesy of Sainsbury's best) followed by a fresh fruit salad so I feel quite full.
New beginnings of sorts.
