Lovely @Dovefromabove. I'm looking forward to mine flowering. They're all poking through well. I walked past a house near me yesterday though, and he has loads coming through and a couple had buds showing. I think mine are slightly later than the bog standard ones. No idea what they are - a gift from my sister when I moved in here almost 10 years ago.
My RTBC is that I ordered raspberries a week or so ago, after s chat on the forum. They arrived on Friday and I managed to get them heeled into a trough during a brief dry-ish spell. Now I just have to work out where I'm actually putting them....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

My snowdrops were a birthday present from OH some years ago now ... he ordered a load of them from Broadleigh, several different types then but they've been pretty promiscuous since then
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I was watching a programme about conservation/restoration work at Lincoln Cathedral. They were talking to a young lady who was coming to the end of her apprenticeship as a stonemason. She said "Before I started the apprenticeship I'd been to university studying art. I now have a degree in 'Colouring In'. Love her sense of humour, and she needs it as works predominantly with a load of men.
From various articles I've read, BBC Radio is losing listeners by the million on all stations. Perfect excuse for them to cut back even more and reduce the number of stations in use.
Super excited After 18 months of not being able to do any gardening I have gone mad at the garden centre and, what is very satisfying, I have bargains. Just need this cold snap to pass and my helper to get the spade out and my bleak new garden will have trees
Managed to find Magnolia wilsonii (about 5') Syringa v beauty (about 8') Hydrangea bombshell Choisya x dewitteana Ceonothus Blue Mound
all for £60.

He's off to Greatest Hits Radio, still doing Popmaster 😁.
What with him and Simon Mayo on the same station, l'm a happy bunny. No more Radio 2 for me, so they've achieved what they set out to do.

Good news about your boiler chappie too maybe Mars is no longer in conjunction with Saturn and good things are on the way, hope so.
