MrsGarden I'm here just been on the go & it sounds like you've been busy Think you have a party soon hope all goes well.
Done SM and then free to be in garden. Potted bits on and re-arranged GH as some things like Gerbera will are on patio flowering need to go back in if we have frosts, pleased they overwintered. Fleece ready for spuds in sacks. Swept up after blackbirds who are loving chucking lily bulblets out of pots.
Apple tree in blossom & lavenders flowering.
Fidget Mrs Mallard doesn't sound the maternal type
Verdun thanks
Dove I can feel the giddiness bouncing from the screen
Had some thunder a short time ago and now it's raining but still mild.
Soz any peeps I've missed but a chicken casserole needs my attention.
OL - here are my 48 free lavenders - last years in the pots (could have been potted on by now but i've been tardy), and the previous years in the garden in groups of 7. I think they are well worth it, and will have another go this year - if i don't use them they always go well at plant sales
Think i have pond envy....... And alpine envy .........
I've been sowing seeds and potting on and doing gardening stuff all day - taking toms and courgettes out to the mini greenhouse in the morning, and bringing them all back to keep OH company in the studio in the evening
Plus we had a surprise visit from son and a friend
And I've been doing a lot of that laying on the lawn looking at water critters - that's hard work that is
Oh, and I cooked Nigel Slater's Thai Prawn and Rice Noodles and ate some of them.
OH has just found me a square of chocolate
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Not done much other than SM and visiting mum today but so so tired, think I've still not shaken off the cold son kindly gave to me. (mum has also promised to pass on her rheumatism and arthritis, what a loving family I have).
Thunder and heavy rain for last few hours, abandoned towels on the line but will have to close GH coldframe etc.
Going for a cuddle with oh and pos a glass of wine to rid me of this wretched headache. night all.
Been repairing and replacing electric fence ribbon and banging in posts so I can put the horses into their summer quarters. Thought I'd done it in the autumn, but with all the wind and rain this winter and all the fallen branches on the fences I needn't have bothered. It's taking ages and not finished yet.
Past bed time, night all.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Hi all, lovely sunny day in the end, and I missed it cos of work
Glad you had a good day with your friend Panda.
Verdun, great news that your mum is home and improving every day. Shame about the rest of family, but she does have you. Bet you're her favorite
Still miss my mum, so very much, would have been her birthday on friday.
Dove, pond sounds exciting, can just see you on your tummy pearing in
Sounds like you've all had a busy day, off to get some tea. See you later.
