We're certainly getting an early spring here - wild plum and cherry blossom is out and celandine and crocuses are in flower on the roadsides ... I've also seen a whole bank of wild primroses blooming in sheltered spot.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Good morning Verdun Sunny here too - I need to get out and finish pruning the gooseberries etc - s'pose I'd better get dressed and have some breakfast first tho'
We saw you and Spike paddling for dear life in the wet weather yesterday - we sent a drone to get a photo ........... did you see it?

Feeling exhausted in a nice way today, was skiing all day yesterday and had forgotten how tiring it is, was fine on the slopes, just woke up this morning feeling stiff all over. Luckily, it was just a day trip so I haven't got to do it all over again today. Phew. Charlie loved it, amazing how children learn so quick, no fear zapping all the way down the slopes. Great place too, only a couple of hours away and lots of wide open pistes perfect for easy skiing and not too busy like it can be in the really popular resorts in the Alps.
Back to i******g today though and other mundanary,
Good day to you all and I will try and pop in later and read back properly. I did notice a birthday, so belated Happy Birthday Chicklet, oh to be 17 again.

Thanks for littlest Chicklet's birthday wishes. The big day is actually today, but she is at work, and Chicklet has to set off back to Nottingham late afternoon.....so we made yesterday the day of celebrations
Lovely sunshine here today - think we'll go for a walk. Then Chicklet and I are going to sample the coffee shop where the birthday girl will be slaving away.
Have a good day folks - make the most of the lull before the next storm sweeps in

Morning all.
Dry here for the moment, but the next 36 hours forecast is dire. Gust of up to 80mph forecast.
Update: just started raining.
Morning Dd - children have it easy on the ski slopes - they have a lower centre of gravity
Morning Hosta
