Morning everyone. First time visiting this thread so hello and it's nice to hear what people are doing, and supporting each other, especially when you may not see so many people.
Have recently discovered the rhs app and am enjoying listening to the podcasts on there. Usually something new and interesting. Tidying for Autumn order of the day I think if it gets dry out, some things in the house and radio
Hello and welcome @InBloom. We chat about anything here, as I expect you've realised, not just gardening, sometimes can be a bit controversial - but that can make it more interesting.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all and welcome @InBloom. There are some fantastic podcasts on gardening - there’s a thread on ‘podcasts’ somewhere if you search.
I have been fortunate to be granted a BH day off today. Cloudy with an Autumn feel today. Some light pottering then a big pot of coffee in front of tv for me.
Welcome aboard @InBloom ... pleased to meet you ... as has been said, we chat about all and sundry things here, supporting each other through life's ups and downs as we go ... some of us have actually met each other, but all are friends here ...
@Hostafan1 - eyebrows are thing with young girls. Where I just wanted to thin my bushy eyebrows down by plucking, my 17yr old g'daughter makes much more of a feature of hers - there are hundreds of 'how to shape and style your eyebrows' videos on YouTube - including how to make them bushier! I find it odd and worry that in years to come she'll look at the pics from now and ask 'what was I thinking?' in the same way that people who sported mullets in the 70s do.
Oddly quiet here with everyone at home watching the funeral. I think I might do a bit of gardening and watch the highlights on the news.
👋🏻 @Busy-Lizzie. Sat in the airport waiting for our flight ✈️. Was sad that we were missing the funeral, but watched the arrival at home, listened to the service in the car, and have just watched the procession on monitors in the airport. Welled up every time the national anthem was played - don’t think I’ll ever get used to those new words 😢
Been a busy week, went up to London to pay our respects- in Green Park and outside Buck House. Would have joined the “queue” but it was paused when we were there and waiting for it to resume would have meant an overnighter. I was prepared to stand for hours (that’s what audiobooks and kindles are for) but couldn’t face a night without sleep.
Been tying up loose ends too - getting house and garden ready for littlest Chicklet to house sit, and putting the final touches to the 2023 programme for the Gardening Club - I am very excited by some of our bookings 😜.
Welcome to @InBloom - Fresh from the Pod is a great podcast - none added recently but a great back catalogue of interviews with Gardening A-listers.
Hope you get to Corfu @D0rdogne_Damsel, and safely back to France @Busy-Lizzie. And that @Hostafan1 continues to have lots of sunshine and heat. We are heading for Crete first, then a bit of island hopping back to Athens. Very excited 😆 ⛴🏛🏖
I didn’t envy the Queen much (well, the horses perhaps) …. but my life would’ve definitely been improved had I been woken by a bagpiper playing outside my bedroom window every morning ❤️
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
