Not long now Wintersong, its what, 6 weeks before the clocks change?will be here before you know it. Hope you havent gone all crinkly!
Sounds like Reggie reacted totally normaly, although George lies on his back and lets the vet get on with it! , glad Reggie got on ok at the vets, sounds like he will enjoy his play date! Errr, garlic, isnt that the stuff that comes in a tube?
Gotta go, am being given "the evils" to get off my phone and go for walkies!
Where do you get your clematis from, Wintersong?. I had some cheap ones(old varieties ) from Morrisons last year£2 apiece, but I have been tempted by some of Raymond Evisons new varieties. There is a garden centre near here that has some display pyramids in big pots of his, but they had sold out of the varieties I fancied most.
Blue sky and breezy here. Bed stripped and sheets being washed. I'm thinking of getting some broad beans in, starting them off in pots in next doors conservatory, which is mouse free, unlike my greenhouse.
Quick hello whilst eating lunch, simple brie & lettuce sandwich today, am cooking big evening meal for a change, not sure Charlie is getting enough veggies at school & usually he just gets a snack at tea time as he does have a four course lunch at school, just conscious after him being ill that he might need a healthy boost, fridge full of carrots, broccoli & leeks (some carrots for horse too). Luckily he does like his veg.
Been to monthly coffee morning this morning, all very sociable but the weather has taken a turn for the worse, definitely no sign of promised sun.
BL has had to cancel, quirky, I set off in car to coffee morning and after 5 mins on the road seeing how bad it was stopped and phoned OH to ring BL for me & tell her to cancel, "No", he said "I won't". Somewhat surprised I said don't worry she won't bite and then he laughed and said "I won't because I have just come off the phone with her" - she had called me to cancel - very wise. Still made carrot cake, have to test recipe for next time. See you very soon BL.
The lady I went to see at coffee morning imparticular wasn't there. Poor woman has had a bad fall (slipped on ice) and broken her arm, nasty break apparently. She lives on her own, bit off the beaten track too so I am going to go & visit tomorrow with cake, (maybe lemon drizzle tomorrow). She has been staying with her daughter but seems she was determined to go home, ready or not, can completely empathise, no place like home. She loves dogs so taking Shadow, just hope he doesn't get his heart set on the cake.
Right, think Shadow is also giving me 'evils' for a walk! Pop back later. I expect Reggie will be expecting similar too Clari - so pleased he passed his check up.

How bizarre that my earlier post is spamming itself?
I've bought most varieties from my not so local GC Fidgetbones although it's gone downhill since first opening back in the naughties.
The only Raymond Evison I have is Josephine which I adore. I will check new varieties, its always been splendid and healthy
My list to plant include Miss Bateman (large) Brunette x2 (just because i loved that one) Margaret Hunt, Wesselton and pope john II and nun's gift so far.
I really need something to soften my Paul scarlet rose in cream or green. I also have 3 cuttings hanging about sans labels

Crinkle-free and shopping for Clematis

Oh no not a German Shepherd they said. It'll be all big and scary and aggressive they said. Control the house and scare visitors are they said...
He was just woken up by the post being pushed through the door and landing on him.
What a wonderful protector; how safe I must feel!
Spring! Spring? Did someone mention spring?
Wintersong, thats bordering on obsessive!
Fidget, i found diluted effervesent (?)vitamin tablets kept bean fly at bay last year, i wonder if it would work with mice?
