Chicky - missed your earlier question about crab apples. I bought a "Jelly King" for my daughter, who specifically wanted one which was good for jelly making. Large white flowers, upright habit, red-flushed round fruit which is biggish (for a crab).
If you want something dramatic, "Harry Baker" has exceptionally large pink flowers, plum-coloured leaves, and bright red largish fruit. Said to make the best flavoured jelly of all, but I couldn't get hold of one when I wanted it.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hello again Thanks KEF, as expected we didn't do well....are you a Reading fan?
Well delivering some orders from yesterday this morning (long story!) I has listening to Classic FM and Alan T playing some fab pieces, he said that everyone should get some tulips planted this week.......he has inspired me ti get my backside into gear tomorrow and get planting, I'm going to make the most of my extra hour by getting up a but earlier and planting - especially as it will be dark by 5 tomorrow ......welcome winter
Glad you had a good day, Chicky. I love Wisley, but not easy to get there. We have a flat in Eastbourne for when we are in the UK, belongs to OH's daughter really, but last time we went to Wisley there was an accident on the M25 and it took 3 hours.
Did fish and chips tonight, at last my batter is improving. OH loves it and the French don't sell fish and chips and the fish is bread crumbed, not battered, in the supermarket.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm going to get my bulbs in GG (as per post above) And I might just get the rest of the tidying up done and the veg patch weeding and the sprouts firmed in (Oooh yes I forgot to say I have sprouts ), obviously that will all take longer than an hour but I will do my best .........

White flowers lily - great for a shadier spot if it's dampish

Hi OL, hope you had a lovely weekend, good to see you.
Anyone else using the extra hour tomorrow or are you sleeping?
I was looking at the clock at 6pm thinking this will be 5 tomorrow and dark
Glad you had another lovely outing chicky
Your afternoon tea sounded good bekkie and the roses and bowl were a good bonus. That Compte rose is a lovely colour
Good to see you around OL
Shame about the football
Hope the weather's OK to get your tulips in tomorrow.
May not be on here much tomorrow as I'm doing Sunday lunch for nine. Thank goodness for that extra hour.
