Hope everyone’s had a restful night. We escaped the storms and the sky is pretty clear so I might’ve seen the eclipse if I’d been awake … but I wasn’t … I was sleeping like a log after all my exertions of the weekend.
Today OH and I will pop down the road to Wrose for stuff we’ll need when our friend arrives to stay for a few days. Then we’ll give the house a bit of spit and polish … 🧹🕸🧺🪣🧽
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning everyone, yesterday's plans were cancelled as the fine drizzle got heavier around midday, but it was not enough to really help. We did get heavy rain much later at night, so hopefully it's enough for now.
Thanks for all your best wishes for yesterday! It all went really well. It was lovely to see @Busy-Lizzie and have a bit of a break with her, but all too brief. Spits and spots of rain throughout the day but nothing to worry about and the overcast day was good for the plants. I was on the street from 6.45am - 6.15pm! Fell asleep during Gentleman Jack so was sent to bed. Woke at 5am this morning, toyed with the idea of getting up but said, nah and went back to sleep for another couple of hours. All my thank you's are done and I've looked at the first batch of pics the photographer I hired sent me. I'll get the main batch to use in future publicity later. Thought you might like to see this:
I did buy quite a few plants... (and got a special discount for being the organiser, so that was nice!). Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to put the callistemon... And get the market financials sorted out. Lovely pic @Hostafan1 - a lot of work spreading all that mulch but your plants must love it. Beth Chatto's garden is well worth a visit @Dovefromabove - when we still had a horticultural society we got a coach up to visit that and Hyde Hall. Hyde Hall was a bit meh I thought but I loved Beth Chatto's. Long old drive though.
Spent the morning painting - a metal gate with grill!! Took me ages and I had to start early as it gets too hot by 11am to be standing around in the sun.
@Nanny Beach I hope you are okay. @Pat E I can see a dragon racing across the sky with its little'un following closely behind!!
Sunny here, a bit cloudy, a breeze and I missed the blood moon!!

Miserable day here, but at least we have some badly needed rain.

This is todays cloud.
I expect @didyw has a load of clearing up to do @Dovefromabove!
I will plant the plants I bought yesterday.
