Thank you @AnnaB. I hope to come off the steroids some time next year but apparently will have to take blood thinners for the rest of my life due to increased stroke risk. As long as I've got enough energy to potter round the garden, that's good enough for me. I count myself fortunate in that I haven't the ongoing fatigue problems you and many others have.
Best wishes to you and everybody else for a Happy and Healthy New Year.
What on earth is going on with the weather?! I think the clouds have upgraded to a power washer from a hosepipe!
I hope everyone is ok. Sore throat for me, which I am hoping will just stay at that. Prob have ‘fake-away’ Chinese tonight but an early night as work tomorrow. There is no doubt that there will be fireworks to disturb me later.
Happy New Year to everyone on here, with wishes for good health, happy times and plenty of gardening for all!
Good evening. Just popping by to wish everyone a happy New Year, and to those of you partying, have a good time.🎉🎉🍾 We've got some of our neighbours joining us this evening to see the New Year in. I’ve prepared a very simple, light buffet and some drinks.
It’s blowing a gale out there now. Will have to take a walk round in the morning and check for fallen trees / branches. The lunch was lovely, the sparkling wine delicious, and some excellent trifle. The episode of Fargo we watched afterwards was truly weird, but my Minnesota accent is improving. Thinking of staggering off to the bedroom now, will probably wake up once I get into bed, so I’ll start the latest Jack Reacher book I got for Christmas. Hope all of you celebrating have a cheery and sociable New Year! Happy NewYear to the rest of us! See you in the morning!
I'm glad you enjoyed your meal at Petrus, @Allotment Boy. Petrus is a very expensive wine from the Pommerol area near Libourne. Daughter 2 used to live very near there.
I went to the last C of E Carol Service of the year here, coffee and mince pies afterwards.
It poured at lunchtime but the afternoon was quite pleasant. I pruned roses and made a start on the big old fig tree.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

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