Gosh, what a speech Edd. I have never found you offensive, but sometimes hard to understand what you mean. I don't usually mind bluntness unless it's really unkind. I've never read the terms and conditions, well I might have done when I joined here but I've forgotten.
We used to have hoopoes here, but I haven't seen any for a few years.
I hope you enjoy North Norfolk, puncdoc. My mother's family used to have a cottage in Salthouse and Mum and her brother used to sail in Blakeney. We went there a few years ago.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Changing the subject, I'm looking for a tall Echinacea, my mom use to have some that grew to about 5-6 feet and purple flower always covered in butterfly's during the summer.
I've looked everywear for it but cant find any that tall, with all this expert knowledge on here I just know someone will know it and where I can purchase would be great.
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

Rain snow slush. Cold!
Fidget that's a hoopoe, gorgeous isn't it. Only ever seen one in the bird book
Just back from a very muddy walk with just one dog - good luck Bekkie
Wet this morning, but supposed to improve later so more pricking out in the warm for now.
I once saw a hoopoe in Suffolk - blown over from the continent on strong winds in late March - they do turn up in the southern UK but they're really a bird of southern France, Spain and areas bordering the Med. http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/discoverandlearn/birdguide/name/h/hoopoe/
They have a very distinctive flight, more like a butterfly than a bird

Hi Dove and all.
Hope you are managing ok.
We are about to leave, in a snow storm.
Planning on doing the North Norfolk coast, Cley and Titchwell in particular.
Have a good time all.

Morning all, pouring down here. Looking on the bright side my freshly sown grass seed will benefit.
Gardener's Boy, have you tried Crocus, often recommended by readers here?
