I love Strictly. Ben has made so much progress, reminds me of my rugby playing son. You'll just have to watch the Xfactor then Pentillie!
Never got to do gardening today, too busy mucking out and clearing up the hay store. Going to lunch with 2nd son tomorrow, they are expecting my 7th grandchild next Spring!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Evening all, my lovely other half loves Strickly and whilst i don't mind it now that i've found this fab forum i can tap away on the I-Pad whilst toasting my toes by the fire.
Hello forkers and will be off to bed soon tired now
Went on a trip to hilliers GC today got to go to a different one to usual place, got a trolley and filled it with wet - got rained on slippery to handle heavy bags of compost and lawn dressing both 3 for 2 heavy to push around and a few plants in another trolley
Managed to get my free bulbs from garden mag offer from other GC- cyclamen coum pink before offer ends
Later in garden planted out the red tulips and some cyclamen winter ones - plants red pink and white and the corms and lots of plugs of primrose sunshine and covered with more bark - left over half bag from a few years ago still nice and bright now terracotta colour
Before
And after
oh and forgot to say got a nice cake to take away as that hilliers has a cafe, yummy cake
here it is
Really wanted to buy for front garden forget me knots but the GC not got any last year they did at this time of year but not this year
Good morning all It's been raining overnight - forecast is for warm with thundery showers - I want to get out there and cut down the runners and sow the Broad beans - do you think I'll get the chance or will it be soggy all day?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Dull and damp morning,am altering a pair of curtains today,so ideal weather for thta,I won,t feel I am missing out on thr Garden.Mum for lunch (sa as guest not to eat! )
Hi all. Rained overnight but did actually have over an hour of sun yesterday.
M's GH sorted, leaves raked, and her green re-cycling bin full. At home a few beds weeded, where I could reach without standing on the soil. Nice chicken & chickpea curry & a veggie one, then watched dancing and a DVD.
All that chat earlier in the week about slow roasted lamb got me drooling, so lamb it is today. Lots of windfalls to make apple sauce with for the freezer & sprouting broc' to prep for freezer. I was surprised at cost of sprouting broc' in SM over a pound for 4 little bits. Saying that I paid more for a Romanesque, I must consider growing some.
Hello Cornishboy
Verdun, I think it was fidget who said about visiting the burgular's Mum, not being one to keep my nose out I think that would be a brill idea.

Waiting for the football, Lizzie!
GILLYG - hope your neighbours have solved the murder mystery by now and you can all sleep safe. Sounds like great fun.
