    Good morning all image  - have a good day Panda!  It's quite a mild morning out there - pale blue sky - walk done, bed changed and washing ready to go in the machine after I've had a shower, but first I must have a couple of mugs of coffee .......

    BL, Ma liked Wiltshire - but she too was educated at a convent; Pa ate them but he'd had years of Ma's cooking (poor chap, his mother came from a family of bakers and was a wonderful cook).  

    As you say, they're better than a lot of similar meals and quite reasonable, and the delivery chap was very good, putting everything in the freezer, putting the new stuff at the back etc, and helping Ma with the cheques.  

    They might have tasted better if Ma had got a microwave, but she insisted on burning them to a crisp in her awful old oven, then taking them out one handed and walking across the room to the table with her zimmer in one hand and the baking tray in the other - absolutely flatly refused to have a work surface next to the cooker or to move the cooker next to a work surface image

    Morning

    Keep popping into the Forum as a awhole.

    Like tiarella Verdun, I always think its leaves are a bit untidy though.

    Dog kept me up till 4 this morning when I then took him and me into spare room for sleep. We thought he was doing OK as well, back to vet later to see what can be done.

    This lack of sleep is really getting to meimage

    Oh Matty I hope the dog feels better soon! How strange a friend put a message up on FB about their dog being ill last night - I wonder if there's something growing around that they've all been chewing on.image

    Has anyone ordered plants from the RHS? I've a few (lie - I've hundreds but I'm being well behaved!) I want to get and online is the only way I can really do it but I'm so wary about ordering from a company I've never used before that I'm leaning towards using the RHS purely because I HOPE they're too established to muck things up.

  • Sorry to hear your dog is poorly again Matty, hope he gets well soon. Perhaps you could have a little zzzzzz on the sofa this afternoon. Hope you're ok too. 

    Housework and washing done, a few phone calls made, not an excitng day really. Off to make a cuppa TTFNimage

    I used Unwins last year - the plants were small but they only sent them when they were ready and, did apologise for the late arrivals of one lot as they said they wait for them to be good enough. They don't have a large selection though.

    All mine have taken really well.

    But I buy from all over as and when I can afford them

    I did do some gardening this morning but it is now pouring with rain - again. One part of garden is just saturated all the time, still last year I planted fritillaries there, am hoping they come up again.

  • Yes Dove, just in time
