    Hi everyone, a lovely day here.  I've been out planting bulbs this morning. Secondborn popped in for a coffee and we sat outside enjoying the sunshine. 

    Clari, I'm glad you are thinking of moving on, they have been taking the mickey for a long time now. 

    Hosta I've walked that hill at Port Isaac many a time, it's a killer (usually after lunch at the Mote Restaurant).  Couldn't do it at the moment though.

    Sorry you are still having problems with the neighbours Pdoc, it's a really miserable situation to be in.

    Wonky, hope you manage to find 5 mins to put your feet up this weekend, all work and no play .......

    Afternoon All - what another beautiful day - few more  plants divided and redistributed today - I do love plants for free. My garden is still fairly new (major landscaping in 2013) and the borders are really quite big - so it is nice to see the soil slowly being covered as plants develop and spread around.

    Those of you who thought Dove might be talking about Pat E - I am 99.999% certain she was talking about moaning Pat Archer in The Archers! image

    I am a big fan but download the podcasts and then listen en masse whilst ironing or  doing some other mindless task requiring mental diversion. I'm always about 6 weeks behind so I have no idea what Pat Archer has been up to this time - but odds on it involves Helen & Rob (who wants shooting IMO)

    Glad everybody else sounds OK'ish - even if there are a few aches and pains that need sorting.

    Congrats to Wonky & Panda.

    And a special one for Clari - seconder here for Runny's comments. Life is too short - doesn't sound as though they either deserve or appreciate you and if there's another job out there you fancy - I would definitely go for it. image

    Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

    I was DEFINITELY talking about Pat Archer!!! image  and yes, that flippin' Rob needs shooting too Topbird - you pin him down, I'll do the deed! image

    We're back from a lovely lunch sitting in the sun by the river, watching cows on the grazing marshes and boats on the Broads - super super lunch in fab location - highly recommended for anyone wanting a trip out into Norfolk for a meal. 

    Great to see friend too - don't see her very often as she's a busy journo in the big smoke, but her cat died and she needed a nice weekend to cheer her up. 

    If you like cats and you don't mind weeping a bit, you can read about her cats here http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/jody-thompson/losing-your-cat_b_8210948.html

    Now I'm flollopped on the sofa with a mug of coffee image

  • Hi everyone image just sat down to catch up on all your antics imageimage. Fondmemories of a Cornish holiday many years ago (20 + last one with youngest 2 offspring)  we went to port Isaac and drove down THAT hill to see a car park  sign hand written 50p  in a tin box NO PARKING after 2.30  boy we did smile when we went in and found we were on the beach.image. Needless to say we moved off well before . Well it's gone 5o clock so time for a pair a teef .imageimage

    jo , it was flying around for a bit, landing, hiding under plants , taking off again for about half an hour. 

    Forgive my stupidity, but are merlins a bit scarce?
