Me too Punkdoc, so many ideas from on here already that I had to get started on something! But I thought you were having a quiet day? Don't wear yourself out again.
Punkdoc what are u like ....... Get well soon just popped by to share my jubilation just bought x2 2l thilactrum thunder cloud plants from crocus and some nicotiana seeds. I do love nicotiana but have a strained past with them so will try them again hurrah another delivery!!!!
Haggis purchased along with swede and leeks for Burns Night (it's this Saturday folks)
Seville oranges and Demerara sugar in pantry ready for marmalade making.
Cod, salmon and smoked haddock poaching for a pie for the weekend and a pie for the freezer. Light lunch eaten. Bins put out for tomorrow - weather still jolly wet - that walk isn't going to happen
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh dove thank you so much for reminding me.... Oh is Scottish and I do burns night most years but had forgot right boss not in so I'm off on enquiries past the butchers for me haggi
I have some thalictrums planted last year, which i am looking forward to seeing in their full glory this summer. Mine are erin (v tall) and hewitts double (v purple). They are a completely new plant for me so fingers crossed ! Stacey, we cam compare notes .....
This is my first year with them chicky.... I have a black stockings one I got from the crocus open day last year but it was over and has since died back..... I'm looking forward to seeing them have a load of seeds planted from them and fingers crossed they may grow as well.... Good idea bout exchanging notes...... and we must meet at Wisley for a cuppa and a cake sometime
A little off topic (as much as we can ever be on this thread) but what do you suggest for a really good Burns Night? Last year I had Haggis for the first time (my own family aren't happy unless its a lump of meat and vegetables that have had the life boiled out of them so it was far too exotic to ever make it to our table growing up) and I'll be making it (if I can catch one) on Saturday for myself, my partner, and his friend whose coming back up for digging of the Man Cave part two.
Thanks for your positive comments on the blog. I find writing (okay - waffling) somewhat refreshing and a fantastic exercise for decluttering the mind. Hopefully I'll be able to bore you all with many more photographs soon!
Clari great blog, love yours and Clueless'. I also don't know how you find the time. I'm early retired and I seem to lose time Shouldn't have slowed down that much in 18months. Think I've turned into my Mum, one big job a day and I'm done but she is 85
What I need is the sun. In Spring & Summer I'm up and out of bed like coiled spring, 5.30 to 6am I'm happy with a mug of tea sitting outside on the bench then rairing to go. Now I can wake, consider getting up and look at the clock and it's turned 8am. All I can say is KEF is a lazy Mo.
Today for example we went to SM,at 12.30pm two trolleys one for Mum. Then come home, organised evening meal and now just faffing about.
If I was at work I'd get the sack!
Well in my defence I have paddled across the grass and had GH's open, fed the birds and cleaned the bathroom.
Also stood longingly wanting next Hellibore to open.
Me thinks a kick in pants needed from friendly forkers
Well KEF, you have done a lot more than me. Other than planting sweet pea seeds, I have done nothing, and, to make matters worse I have just phoned OH and told her I cant be bothered cooking tonight, so can she pick up a takeaway when she comes home?
As you say it is so much easier in the summer.
Clari, I really enjoyed reading your blog.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
