Thank you @Allotment Boy. Yes I know. OH found some on line but I like to see what I'm buying. I have the perfect one that I bought in a GC in France. I did find one here, expensive and too heavy. I was surprised that the watering sections in the GCs here were mostly almost empty shelves. As for the gloves, I have to try them on as I have swollen knuckles, arthritis.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Possibly the shelves are empty here in Norfolk 'cos we've been watering for a while ... apart from the lucky few such as us whose butts filled up last week, we've been watering for what seems like months ... it's been a very dry spring ... again ...

We can’t get over how beautiful the countryside is in Hungary. Lovely tree lined roads and everything very green (except for the bright yellow of canola fields). Enjoying the race again.
Afternoon all. Frantic morning as I got a call from the licensing office to say that as I hadn't ticked a box on my application for a late TEN I couldn't have my music license. But after much pleading (and I had mentioned that it was a late TEN in my email) it was agreed I could have it. Phew! I'd been frantically trying to book the 3 music acts for Sunday (the Garden Market I organise) but only got one. As I had just persuaded them to do two sets it would have been really embarrassing to have to cancel them for want of a license.
Lovely sunny day out there, but I have to finish rereading my book club book (it's my book so I have to find out more about the author too, to introduce it) and there are still a few emails I need to address. So much going on!
Oh to be in Italy! I threw a coin in the Trevi fountain in Rome to ensure I would return, and I would loooove to visit Florence. But getting my husband to move very far from home is not easy. I did suggest we went to Covent Garden for the opera for his Big Birthday this year and at first he seemed up for it but the next day said the thought of travelling to London, booking into a hotel, taking taxis everywhere, filled him with dread. So that's not happening. It's bad enough getting him to the theatre up the road.
RIP Dennis Waterman. He used to drink in a pub I used to go to sometimes years ago. I spoke to him a couple of time. Nice chap.
Afternoon everyone! The morning has rushed past, but all bibs and bobs are done.
30°C expected this afternoon. 24°C this morning - very pleasant, no wind and of course sunny! Good drying day for my big double double continental quilt which I washed at the laundromat this morning.
We also are, here, in a drought - no April showers for us - yet.
Why do I think I saw Dennis Waterman along with Hywel Bennett in a programme/film called "Unman, Wittering and Zigo." Can anyone remember this film? Late 60s? He did some good stuff.
I hope your weather is clement with rain for the needy! Enjoy your day.
Hubby met DW when they were filming Up the junction. The flat they used was above the fruit and veg shop owned by his Uncle/ Aunt and that flat was where Hubby's parents lived when they were first married
I found a watering lance in the very cheap shop in a local town, like a pound shop. I also found that rubberised wire for tying up roses etc for a third the price of the GC. But at the GC that I went to first I found a delphinium, blue with white centres, a Thalictrum "Black Stockings", Aster "Monch" and a geranium psilostemon. God knows where I'll put them, I had places for 2 plants. They'll have to squeeze in somewhere.

I thought @Dovefromabove might be interested by this, a beach hut in Southwold for sale at £250,000 - ridiculous, more than a house somewhere else. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/southwold-beach-hut-for-sale-250000-8948032?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=DM58193
