Morning all - Happy New Year. Eventually got to sleep - endless fireworks round here.
Cold here too - ground frozen when I fed the birds earlier - but the snow didn't come to much. It'll be nice on the hill later but I have to take daughter to work so it'll be a short walk for me. Typical - the only decent day before I go back to work....
not mentioning Edd's pix...
Hope everyone is ok. I'll have a quick look round here before I get myself organised to go. Have a good day everyone
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Verdun - re Nursery Rhyme books - my best recommendation is to go into Waterstones and find one you really like - read all the nursery rhymes in it and check that the rhymes are the versions you know, and not Americanised ones or you'll find it really annoying! Also there's nothing like holding the book to get the feel of the paper quality and looking at the illustrations ... some are wonderful, some are just too trite for words. Go to Truro Waterstones and spend a morning immersing yourself in nursery rhymes Also talk to the Waterstones staff, most are very knowledgeable and will have catalogues of books they don't have in stock - they'll order them in for you to look at and choose from.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We managed to get 2/3 rds of the way through E.T. but even though it was a lovely film even Charlie couldn't stay awake so by 10:30 we were all in bed. Not terribly exciting, we said next year we will try and make more of an effort.
Think I might spend the day taking all the decorations down and giving the place a good dusting, I need to get the ladders out for some high shelves, might even give the barn windows a wash for a treat whilst the ladders are out. New Year and all that.

Morning all, frosty and a little bit nippier start to the new year, but I don't really mind as this is what mother nature should be giving us.
Have a lovely day, gently does it for all that are nursing a 'sorehead'.x
Sorry KEF I didn't think the pictures were worth another mention, I meant walk and fizz
Gotcha Ann
Think both would be a good idea, some fresh air to this brain before I confuse it again. Happy New Year.

Down to a chilly -1C in the shed last night and today it is sunny, crisp and frosty - lovely
No fireworks round here last night thank goodness - very quiet indeed.
Bit of hwk today, then a "luxury" fish pie to make ready for OH coming home. Best get on. SYL
