    Hi all image

    Been doing my head in researching computers, I now know what I don't want and want I do want but can't afford image  image  least I've narrowed it down. I'm fully knowledgeable about SSD, HDD, Intel cores and IPS or VA on monitors and if you believe that you'll believe anything image

    Evening all. Another grey and wet day here in Sheffield. Lots of wistful staring out of windows, imagining that the rain might stop.

    Spent most of the day playing Backgammon on the computer, very addictive.

    KEF Ginium is the best tranquiliser I know.

    Dug the huge cannas out of the big terracotta pot today. When I planted them there were 2 reds and one yellow (but it was orange) in 3 little plastic packets from the supermarket. Now I have 2 cardboard boxes of huge roots. Had to use a garden fork to get them out of the pot. Wrapped in fleece in the garage. Pot now has bi-colour blue and yellow Morpho pansies and Cool Wave pansies in it.

    Just watched "Gardens from Above" with Christine Walkden. Really enjoyed it. Wasn't a lot of "above", she visited Beth Chatto's wonderful garden and talked to Beth, who is now 91. I wrote to her when I was young and starting my garden and she wrote me a lovely letter, which seems to have got lost.image Christine also went to Hyde Hall, another great garden. We'll be visiting both those when we go to East Anglia next July.

  • Hello again folks image  I'm back from my visit to Cambridge Uni Botanic Gardens
    It was lovely to see my friend from Cornwall again, lots of nattering was done and the world was put to rights.  Some gentle wandering around the rock gardens, shrubberies and glass houses of the Botanic Gardens was done, the sun shone on us and a good lunch and much coffee was had. A very enjoyable day image  We didn't take any photos - the autumn colour was all but over and lots of beds had been cut back and were being worked on.  There was an interesting fruit - Lady someone's Orange ????  I shall have to google ....

    My day didn't start so well as the 9am bus didn't arrive, so I had to catch the 9.30 and change to get down to the station, however, that did mean that I could use my bus pass image

    The train journey to Cambridge is a lovely one with lots to see - particularly lots of rivers and woodlands, and of course the beautiful Ely cathedral. I also saw lots of wildlife, including a buzzard trying to snatch one of the flock of woodpigeons that were feasting on a farmer's oilseed rape.

    The journey back took longer than it should have done, as we were held up outside Brandon by a mal-functioning level-crossing gate, so as I arrived back in Norwich about 15 minutes late the bus timetable didn't dovetail with the train - however, never one to let a good opportunity go to waste, I used the additional 45 mins to pop into M&S and buy a new nightie image as well as get a coffee at Starbucks which is opposite my bus stop. Nothing if not organised. image

    Hopefully the Christine W programme has recorded itself for me - I'll be interested to see her view of East Anglia image

    Well, if I say so myself, that was a very nice dinner. Prawn risotto, with fennel, peas and pancetta, washed down with a very nice Languedoc white.

    have a good evening.
