    Didn’t see the cricket unfortunately, was so sure we would be thrashed. A quite amazing performance.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Clay is wonderfully soft - at the moment. I just gently plucked out a load of weeds. If only it was always thus🙄
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Agree with you there. Pulled up a pile of brambles today. So easy! I’d better get as many uprooted as I can, before the ground dries up again.

    My first proper gardening post of the year. Spring can't be far away!

    The snowdrops are just starting to flower. Spring is in the air!

    My other hobby is genealogy and I recently discovered that I'm connected (by marriage only unfortunately!) to Miss Willmott!

    @Bluejayway, I'm sure the green fingers have filtered down!  Did you see Friday's episode on GW which had a section on Miss Willmott? Really interesting.

    Yes I saw that @Lizzie27 and I recently read the biography of Miss Willmott so you can imagine my surprise when I made the discovery when I was working on the family tree yesterday 😂🤔

    Very exciting. Good luck with your family tree.

    My RTBC today is that my first daffodil is out, a tiny Tete a Tete in the terrace trough.

    Thanks @Lizzie27 , like gardening, cultivating the family tree is a gift that keeps on giving.  Been at it 15 years now ....
