It's been a lovely sunny day today, but chilly. I planted the new rose and spent a lot of the afternoon cutting up the dead Malvern Hills so we can take it to the tip.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Busy, I had a look at that rambling rose you bought - it is a stunner. Are you intending growing it through or over something? I see it can get quite tall.
SGL, finding our room and the floor we were on certainly produce some giggles from my sis and I.
I am signing out for tonight as it is quiz night again. I hope that you all have great evenings - especially Ante - and that our travelling friends are safe on their journeys. See you all in the morning.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Evening all, Spent a few hours in the garden today mowing/edging lawns, moving pots and fed/mulched the roses. Lugging pots and bags of compost/manure has taken its toll and I'm now aching and tired. Hoping to get seeds sown tomorrow.
@Busy-Lizzie I've been looking for that rose for a few years, none of our Garden Centres ever have it. I've seen it on line, but have only ever sent for roses from David Austin.
@star gaze lily Chevy Chase was discovered by Peter Beales on a trip to America and he liked it so much he got permission to bring it back to Norfolk where he bred it for the UK market. It may be that you can only get it from Peter Beales. It's available from them now, mail order, quite pricey at £29.95.

Goodness me but I've just watched a chilling clip of that murderer who shot those 9 innocents at the school in America. Totally horrendous. We should consider ourselves lucky.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Good morning all. Cold here but I have a haircut booked and then we are going to take Easter goodies to fiancés family in Telford ( get that box ticked then we can leave it a few weeks, with fiancé only home two days and me working Monday afternoon time together is precious) so no gardening today.

Sunny and very cold morning. It's only 2℃. I slept well and feel much better.
Have a nice day and see you later!
