Last minute preparations for our Garden Market tomorrow here. I think everything is sorted and in place. And the sunshine I ordered looks as if it will be delivered in time, so all is well.
Love the Sainsbury's Centre @Dovefromabove. My daughter and I were just saying the other day that we are due another visit soon.
Back from the Floralies. I did buy plants , some perennials, 3 bushy orange zinnias, 3 Isotomas, 5 tomato plants, 3 sweet peppers, 2 courgettes and 2 cucumbers. It was all very pretty and colourful.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Sounds like a good haul @Busy-Lizzie 😉 I got my brassicas plants in , 8 each of Cabbage, cauliflower, green Calibrese and sprouts. I gave all the plugs a little soak in seaweed solution before I planted them. I only gave a little water afterwards as the soil was pretty damp already. Just wish it would warm up a bit again, the forecast said it would but the cloud hasn't shifted all day. Off to cut grass now.
It’s been a beautiful day here and I’ve been in the gorgeous Brecon Beacons on a alpaca hike! I went with some of my work colleagues as part of our Well Being group. Recommend!
I drove son (in his rather snazzy new car) to visit @WonkyWomble and her Lovely Hub. Wonky and I sat in her garden, listening to the sound of water in her pretty pond, and watching all the birds in the crab apple and huge rambling rose, … so many of them. Such a lot of wildlife right in the middle of town, thanks to her.
Son sat with his BIL and watched tv and talked football … something he has no real opportunity to do here.
It was so lovely to see them both.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Good weather today so I planted out the cavolo nero, the sweetpeas, the cosmos and the red chards. It's windy now and there might be thunderstorms and hail, just don't hit my plantlets please. Off to watch silly Eurovision.
Morning all. Can’t see much outside for fog and it’s already 10.30am. 😒. I’m snuggled down in front of tv watching the weather channel. Not that it makes any difference though. 15 degrees in here.
It’s Mother’s Day and I’ve asked the kids not to come down. A phone call is all I need. I resent the shops trying to get them to spend money when everything is costing so much nowadays .
Off for 96th. COVID jab today, then to go and give some gardening advice to some friends. It will be the closest I can get to actually gardening myself.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
96! Thats a lot of jabs @punkdoc 😉 Enjoy the vicarious gardening 😊
I agree @Pat E … a phone call, text or whatever us quite enough from grown offspring, and a bunch of daffodils or primroses from children. Loving thoughts are what Mothering Sunday etc is about for us. 😊 Mind you, this year dear Wonky made sure I had a card from her and she ‘arranged’ one from her brother as well, but the circumstances were a bit unusual and the cards were very much appreciated.

Went for a lovely walk yesterday evening and heard our first cuckoo of the year 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Didn’t have to use the Merlin app for that one (for anyone interested its a great app which identifies what birds are singing around you - recommended by an ornithologist and all for free. Its made our walks recently a lot of fun. And I can now identify a skylark and a robin without help).
Love a llama walk @AuntyRach - they have such sassy personalities 💃🏼
Did you enjoy Malvern @Lizzie27 ? It looked great on the TV. Camassia overload 💙
