    Good morning all. (The lazy way of saying it, I don't miss anyone out!)

    2° here, no frost. Going to supermarket.

    Yesterday I actually got round to weeding and digging up of annuals to make room for tulips and alliums. Today rain is forecast.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Good morning Verdun, Dove & Lizzie & anyone that sneaks in unnoticed.

    Lizzie, more rain!  Bet you really need that.  image

    Right off to take car for MOT. Fingers crossed.

    Morning everyone. Frosty here, the sun is shining and the oak tree is glowing amber against a pale blue sky.  Shredding today I think.

    Dont get me started on the waste in the NHS drugs bill. It would need a lot of chocolate to get me calmed down again.Why does anyone order another bottle of Lactulose when they already had 15 unused in the cupboard.? if everyone (no exceptions) had to pay a nominal £1 for each months supply of each drug, the waste would dramatically slow. As its free to 90% of the population, the waste is phenomenal.(at an average cost of £10 per item on a prescription, charged to the taxpayer)

    Morning all very hard frost here and still lying now but sun trying to get out so might be a good day later but just to sit and look out at for me time being have a good day all.

  • Good morning Andy image sunshine and blue skies here after a sharp frost - take it easy!

    I don't understand how people waste prescribed medicine - I have a prescribed dose of 3 medications each day and another of 2 per week.  My GP practice will not authorise the pharmacy to dispense any repeats until a few days before my supply is due to be used up.

    We also have lovely blue skies, frost slowly going. I was wrong about the car, it did need scraping. Had a short walk this morning (just to collect a parcel), cold cold cold but still quite enjoyable. I've been in the garden with the ipad taking photos before the flowers finally go ( not that they are showing much sign yet). Also need to start thinking about what to do with the gap left by the fallen tree. But for now, it's onwards with paperwork!

    Morning all.

    Thick frost here this morning with a delightful -2'C when I got up and Facebook rapidly filling with people posting links of how it'll be the worst winter EVER. I am tempted to go out and buy two huskies and a sledge to get to work on. I mean my partner wouldn't mind the appearance of two hyperactive dogs that much would he? image

    Still no signs of when we'll be moving house and I can finally get my hands on the nice big garden (the garden appeals to me more than the winter of decorating we have ahead of us!) The little garden we have here has been well and truly put to bed for winter and I daren't go out too much as the grass is sodden. Unfortunately moving in date could be next week, could be February!

    Are you moving far Clari ? And are you taking any of your plants with you?
