Holly, I used to love walking their dog on the marshes between Southwold and Eastern Bavents, watching out for the geese and wildfowl - in the winter a couple of times they found migrating woodcock in their garden, having flown across the North Sea from Northern Europe - they were sometimes a bit disorientated so we'd put them in a box and take them to the marshes and put them safely in some thick reeds to recover and get their bearings.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Turning into a lovely day here but still 3 hours till home time. First task is to measure up for a second greenhouse which I have just spotted on ebay, a 10 x 6 alluminium polycarb. This will give me plenty of extra space to keep things over winter and grow a few extra varieties in the new season. And most of the ground already laid in slabs at back of garage - just need to shortent he strawb patch by a foot or two, or should I knock out the dividing post with next door - the fence is well on the other side after all..............
Started on the bathroom and have removed all the stencilling I did on the airing cupboard several years ago. It was a case of 'don't stand still or Mum will stencil you'. It was the only place I did it - fortunately.
Turned heating off as I was standing by a radiator, but it's going back in now.
Kef and Dove. Naughty girls. Punishments are still in place you know. No rule changes just because we've changed threads.
Yes, they were Kef. Took me days to do it. We all do silly things at times don't we. Seem to remember it was the 'in' thing.
Perhaps if I get the ladders and emulsion upstairs, making it look like I'm going to attempt to do ceiling, son will get stroppy and protective and insist on doing it. But which decade?

What a lot of chat to catch up on! Nice though.
I do love your wit Dove.

Think I welcomed pennies onto morning thread by mistake, oops but it looks like she's made it now - hi pennies - despite my poor directions!
Fairy hope shoulder improves as day goes on.
Matty well done you, bet you are pleased that health efforts paid off.
Holly "spoken" to you on another thread and forgot to say hello & welcome.
AJK you can never have too many GH's, Hope you get it.
Tina, didn't picture you as a stenciller..were the stencils of plants?
I also love Dove's wit.
MrsG. Penniesfromheaven found us, but as they say..no good deed goes unpunished.
Right off to do a bit more.
Sorry that Pennies seems to have disappeared as quickly as she came - perhaps she'll pop back later.
I had thought that I might know her, given that our names indicate that we originate from the same place

Maybe our 'sense of humour' scared her off - come back Pennies!

Good luck with that proposal Tina!
Am in bed again today, sweaty this morning and cough not great so back I went
Weather is abysmal here - wet and cold. Still, it marks the changing of the seasons
