Hi all OH and I were supposed to be going out today but so far have gone nowhere Had a twinge in my back as I was putting my socks on. Am now sitting on the sofa listening to OH doing the online shop.
Been out in garden fed birds, was all frosted out side acanthus got it and agapanthus too, most of leaves all flopping over Like you said Woody/ Chicky - was -5 or -6 as min max temp a bit playing up - hope the nasty bugs go
Went in green house sorted out the dahlia tubers put them in a box with newspaper and compost and covered with more newspaper hope that is fine they will go into the coldframe when out there and finished - nearly done few bits to go
Got seed catalogues though the door today so will be looking at them
I've had to go out twice to defrost the bird water. Even the pond (2,500 litres of moving water) is freezing over. Lovely and warm in the greenhouse though!
Freezing and white here, no snow though. Went to a couple of garden centres and picked up a few Chrissy decs at half price for next year. Ate a very nice scone with jam and clotted cream and had a good gossip with my best mate. All in all a nice day. Off for a quick look round.
That looks lovely chicky, where are you holidaying?
Nice to read about all your goings on, but far too much for comments!
Just positioned, but not yet finalised and secured xmas pressies robins tteapot.
Considering where to out my new camellia. Maybe re-do the' feather bed which didn't work as I'd hoped. Not very sheltered there though. Maybe widen the back border but will not leave a good.lawn shape...possibly re-do the front garden, again not very sheltered...
Decisions, decisions MrsG. Have fun deciding, then redeciding - its all part of the joy
Its a staycation here - just a holiday from work. Photo is of Frensham Pond - in the heart of the Surrey countryside ...... never gets much press, but it is a beautiful part of the country if you can escape the roads.

Oooooo, poor back Panda - treat it gently for a while
Its absolutely glorious out there:
I am so enjoying my holiday
Oooh! Blue skies - that looks lovely Chicky - whereabouts is it?
Flippin chilly here - just turned the heating up a bit.
The birds have finished squabbling over the raisins and are all snuggling up in the neighbours' laurel and pyracantha hedges.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
