I have finally moved the Christmas decorations back into the shed. The mice very neatly skinned half of my lovely red apple decorations so will have to set some traps.
Whizzed around straightening, tidying etc., etc., as a plumber was booked to come and give me an estimate to revamp my downstairs bathroom, turn it into a wet room, ready for when I can no longer negotiate my steep, narrow cottage stairs, nor get in and out of a bath. Have had a knee and an ankle replacement which will not last for ever. At last I will be able to get rid of the diaboical ginger tiles. Yuck!
I have warned the kids that I am going to spend their inhertitance on upgrading the bathroom and kitchen.
Hi eve ryone, Took my cold to Worcester to look after grandchildren (now I know where I got it from). Back home now. Have an obelisk and two planters to put together over the weekend, or should I say hubby has.
I think I've decided to put Foxgloves 'pink sensation', Verbena 'plum magic' and a White cosmos that has a pink centre (can't remember the name) in the planters. Saw this at RHS Hampton court and want to achieve something similar.
Hi all, all spuds I wanted have gone but they restock regularly Did buy shallots and Levington seed compost, and some freezer bags so trip not wasted.
Joyce get your money spent you earned it my kids get nothing..well maybe cos I haven't any If it makes life good for you have all the alterations that you need or think you will need in the future Meeses I hate them to pieces
Fairy, happy that you are now warm...germinating tomatoes and chillies as a new home job ?
Sun and bright 1pm 7C snow showers 3pm 3C and now frosting over. Don't worry folks done SM run and have plenty of vino & lager to last us and some food.
Evening all. Home alone tonight: darling lordship after hearing I'd be away this weekend so booked a meal for his friends... but for tonight when I'm at home rather than tomorrow night.
1.8'C and dropping here. I'm tempted to build a blanket fort.
Glad that you arrived OK Panda. Enjoy the Christening
it sounds as though you're like us KEF with a covering of snow. At least you have your provisions in the right order. I've made a bucketful of soup which see us through a few lunches.

Still very soggy and cold so no gardening done.

North Currie - perfect place for KEF and Punkdoc 
Getting nippy here in Kent too. Wrapped up all my plants just to keep the brrrrr off those that say hardy on the label but end up being borderline
