Well … not a sign of a naked gardener anywhere between S. Lincs and here … we stopped off at a very good farm shop for fresh food for the weekend and now we’re home and unloaded … OH is unpacking and as I do all the driving I’ve got my feet up for a bit. I’ve checked the lettuces and chard in the garden and the plants in the studio … all are looking good … hardening off starts tomorrow!!!

Evening. Pleasant day gardening today. Fully clothed and good job as managed to give myself a deep splinter in my thumb, which has just been removed by a needle and tweezers - ouch.
I didn't do any gardening today, couldn't get motivated. OH went off to get some DIY stuff so I went to the GC. They didn't have the watering lance that I wanted. My spray thingy doesn't spray very well and I get a wet foot. But they had light blue lobelias and orange and purple osteospermums "Purple Sun".
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We saw some smashing purple osteospermums fully out at Mottistone today @Busy-Lizzie, so perfect, they almost looked unreal. Unfortunately they didn't have any for sale. Couldn't find the Garden visits thread on my phone so haven't posted pics yet - sorry.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ lovely yo be back in our own bed, although I miss the sound of the songthrush … I do hear one here sometimes, but never as close as the one, sometimes two of them ‘sparring’ at MIL’s.

I hope you’ve all seen some sunshine today.
we are flopped in front of the Tele watching the Giro which just happens to be in Budapest today. I assume they’ll get to Italy eventually. 🙄

Ready to leave, we will be away a few days. No idea what internet access will be like.
