I LOVE sailing Steve Mostly I have done 'ditch crawling' in Norfolk on the rivers and broads - that is where I learned to sail Would happily be crew if I could find a free weekend - have Guiding commitments through the school term
Funeral was sad, but ok. Met up with a lot of old friends so that was nice
Not too choppy, KEF, as I get seasick too. That's why I like skippering - I can decide to go somewhere fairly flat! Having said that, I seem to be better than I used to be.
Hi went to GC today for supplies and found 5 yellow echinaceas to overwinter for new bed. Also placed out my phlox and sedums, and in another bed the Roseanne geraniums. Will plant soon. Bought Gaura seeds,which will be grown in spring to go with the Roseanne, under pink roses. Also salvaged some bits and pieces, geranium phaeums, pulmonarias, penstemon, echinacea... as we renovate all the remaining borders. All in pots for returning to beds later.
