    Morning all.

    I had a Hot Cross Bun for breakfast, but I often have them for breakfast in England all year round, love them. How interesting @Ante1 that you have a similar bun in Croatia for Easter.

    @Songbird-1 I bought a lettuce, Iceberg, in T..co yesterday. Lots of lettuces. 

    I use Leclerc or Intermarché SMs in my local town @Ladybird4, no Casino or Géant. As Dordogne is a touristy place there is always fresh milk of more than one sort.

    The sun is shining, may do some weeding this afternoon. Baby sycamores have popped up all over the place, next door but 2's tree. His huge garden goes behind ours, his wild woodland bit.

    Next door but one are building a huge garden office/workshop. Lots of banging going on. They haven't moved in yet. I spoke to her this morning, briefly. They have a 10 year old daughter. Their garden is next to ours. I hope it won't be too noisy when they move in. Our other neighbours are very quiet, even the nice retired carpenter in his workshop on the other side.

    Good morning Busy. Sycamores are tricksy little blighters aren't they? Its easy to control them in grass as you can just chug the lawnmower over them all. Its a bit more work intensive when they are in the borders. Time will tell with your new neighbours noise levels. I do hope that they are nice and quiet too.

    Graham here wishing to communicate with Lily, assume you are a cat, the staff here keeps two who also find the muddiest of puddles to drink from. I myself don’t really take water I prefer to receive my hydration from fresh cucumber which must of course be peeled.

    Afternoon all.

    Bussy, I hope that new neighbours will not be too loud. Like you, I also have luck with my neighbours so far, even one of them have small children.

    I cam in just to have a cup of tea. It's beautiful and warm outside.

    Good afternoon . Popped to Asda this morning . Three very healthy lupins jumped into my trolly .
    I think that I need a bigger garden .It’s very overcast at the moment . I am going to read for a while . Then see if it’s bright enough to go out . Enjoy your afternoon folks .

    @Rubee I adore lupins just hate the aphids. What colour have you gone for?

    Thomas in the Easter romper his mommy made. She is so clever I cannot even sew on a button!

    Not in a gardening mood today, will do gardening tomorrow. I went for a mooch around "The Plantsman's Preference", a little nursery that grows unusual plants. I think @Topbird would have liked it. I bought 3, all quite rare with impossible names, an aster, a saxifrage and a wood anemone, for shady places.
