Evening All, Been on Nanna Duty today. Grandaughter especially cuddly today, just learned to walk and very proud of herself. Home now and been catching up on here. Weather was lovely in Worcester but not sure what its been like here. I'm hoping its going to be relatively dry tomorrow as the lawns need mowing and I want to get into the garden and plant a couple of things plus do a bit of planning.
How strange ... Seem to have the house to myself. Both girls out, OH at the gym. Settling down with a cuppa, and going to treat myself to some old Beechgroves, and some who do you think you are. Never, ever normally get control of the remote .... now lets see if I can get it to work .......
Greetings all from creaky Liri. It's strange how I ache these days, considering I'm only 27... Been removing dead couch grass from the steep slope behind the house, then sowing it with grass/wildflower mix. (Thanks to Nut who suggested now as the best time to do it. )
Found myself "helped" by a couple of dogs, who had escaped from their owners on the path higher up & had come to investigate the strange mud-covered woman.
Anyone know anything about gardening in the west of Ireland? Son-in-law has been offered the job he was going for in Galway. They've got a fortnight to make up their minds, but I expect they'll go - it's too good an opportunity to miss, I think.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I'm back from Chinese meal out with friend in my village who is going to open her garden the same day as me. Her garden is charming, old stone presbytery surrounded by roses and clematis, herb garden, old well with bed round it, gravelled iris bed, 2 ponds and bantams and doves. I think I've overeaten feel bloated.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Sunny and warmer today and dry amazing so I was out in the garden used the tiller preparing area for turf, planted up a container with forget me nots, 3 of my free tulips charade, orange violas and a purple daisy
Spent a while washing up my 4 basket and some pots from front garden ready to plant, then emptied out 2 of the hanging basket from summer and washed them as well - managed to plant up one hanging basket with my plants
Good morning all, apart from collecting walnuts not had chance to get in garden much HW & SM called, got guests arriving again today.
Hoping to replace my summer Bizzie Lizzies with Pansies and Bellis daisy's sometime over the week-end along the driveway,all being well with weather and guests.
Can't see the weather yet, still too dark.
Hope the dog is feeling better Verdun.
Good day to all.

Heading off to catch our Plymouth train - will be looking in from time to time on the journey.
