Pleased to hear that your Mother is now home @CrankyYankee. It must have been a worrying time for you. Yes, it’s strange, isn’t it, how your parents seem strong and indomitable and then suddenly they seem much less so and much frailer. Anyway, I hope she has enjoyed her birthday today 🎂💐.
Applied for new passports on-line last weekend. Dear old Royal Mail took 3 days to get the old passports to the Passport Office on Guaranteed 24 Service!. Friday had confirmation that passports had been received. Yesterday e-mail to say 1 passport was being printed. That's one of two, so hopefully hear something on the other one soon. Pretty impressive service when the Passport Office site says allow up to 6 weeks.
Good news, CrankyYankee. My RTBC is that Ikea are currently selling mini Easter eggs containing hazelnut flavoured filling. I used to love the hazelnut paste filled Lindt mini eggs, but haven’t seen them for years. These are pretty similar, so I will stock up before they sell out. (I know not everyone is an Ikea fan, but I love the place! Love to be able to walk in, see something I like, and usually be able to drive off with it in the car. And our nearest store is only twenty minutes away)

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

16p from Waitrose
I always said Waitrose was overpriced.
