Everyone been behaving themselves? (well apart from Wonky! What time?!?!)
Just caught up on followed threads, not dared to look at pictures thread yet - need more time!
Been thinking about tulips for two days solid, in fact since JParkers bulb porn catalogue came with GW mag.
Happy enough with my garden atm, not great but happy. Planting tubs n pots was my aim this year and it's made a huge difference to the overall look of the garden, just means everywhere else isn't so good, but that's ok, just watching for stuff maturing and making plans.
Love the way you had your migraine the d ay before the party Wonky ... that way you'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed for Bressingham today, won't you?
It's still raining here, but the forecast tells me it's going to clear up soon, and I can certainly see the signs of some breaks in the clouds over in the west - fingers crossed folks, otherwise there's going to be a lot of cake eaten
Of course there'll be the opportunity for plant shopping at Bressingham today and I'm trying to ensure that it's planned and targeted and not totally random - I have Aster frickartii Monch in the west border and need more similar for late colour - I seem to remember that there are some that get mildew and some that don't - can anyone remind me which are which? Since I renewed my virus stuff yesterday morning the laptop won't let me Google! I've not got time to sort it out today so I'm picking your brains instead - someone on there the other day said that the forum is better than Google, didn't they
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Nothing much happening here today ... Expecting visitors on Thursday for a week or so, so doing some spring cleaning and general tidying up.
I left the covers off the cloches last night as a trial and the vegetables seem quite happy except for having a bit of a lean-up as a result of the wind we've had the last 24 hours or so.
Hope the UK weather gets back to summer soon for you all.
I may be cynical in my old age, but the fact that the school holidays started last week is what's caused the wet weather - I think the little blighters and their teachers should stay at school all summer, then the weather would be glorious!
We take our holiday in September, when schools have gone back and the weather's had time to improve - it always works for us

With a bit of luck the weather will hold for your trip to Bressingham Dove. Hope Wonky doesn't oversleep this morning after her wild weekend. Have fun and cakes and don't forget your cameras. Wonder if little Panda will make an appearance.
When OH let the dog out late last night she went sniffing around and found a frog. She got the fright of her life when it jumped and came running for protection. What a wimp.

Please send me some over Steve, we are so desperate for it, never thought I would hear myself say that.
Love shortbread GG, you can send some of that over too.
DD sending you some shortbread biscuits enjoy them
Lots of bits to sort out in the garden here but not sure what weather will be like tomorrow
Enjoy your outing tomorrow all going on the gardening visit
Rained for 2 minutes this evening. We are desperate for it too.
Glad you had a break, DD.
Hope Dove and Wonky enjoy Bressingham as much as we did.

Thanks Verdun - Little Carlow is one that I remember liking

Will do our best to have fun at Bressingham - but we may be Singing in the Rain!
