I am very lady like, been told I talk posh, but can't help having wind with fizzy drinks, Lily! I wear posh green wellies a lot. Oh dear, spell check changed that word to something a bit rude!

Lovely yorkies, Jeanie. Is it possible to give us the recipe?
Pam, I was sooo hoping someone would ask. Totally unlike any yorkie recipe I ever saw, but heavy on eggs.
6 eggs
300ml milk
230g plain flour
pinch salt and pepper.
Eggs and milk into bowl
Sift flour and salt on top. Whizz until smooth (can use a liquidiser stick thingy). allow to sit for 10 mins (although I didn't for my second batch and they were fine)
Then put into the smoking fat in your bun trays in a hot oven. done in about 10-15 mins, but DO NOT open the door halfway to check, they'll flop.
Morning everyone and what a dull morning it is here outside, but inside I'm trying to be sunny
Yorky puds - I love them! my OH is from Yorkshire and makes amazing puds. I remember when I was little if there were any left I would eat them cold with jam, now that would have made a nice breakfast this morning
Catch you all later, BFN x
We eat them cold with jam, too! Everyone else thinks we're strange, but they are only pancake mix, really. My son had the idea of filling them with stewed fruit and ice cream, so trying that next w/e. Cream nd a drizzle of honey might be nice too, if you have a sweet tooth. personally, i prefer savoury.
Verdun, you are so sooo fickle. As long as someone feeds you, eh?. Glad you love me tho', until the next good recipe/cake etc. I'll take it while it's there
Busy Lizzie, good info on the auricular and polyanthus. My neighbour has both needing dividing. When and how, please?
Forester, I heard that molehill soil is good to use in home-made potting compost. Wish I had some.
Fidget, gorgeous hellebores, you're all getting me hooked, I have none. Not seeds, plants to start?
Whiteheather, Cymbidium orchids are really easy. You chuck 'em out from May to Sept, in semi-shade, bring em in, and they flower! Obviously, they need a bit of feed and watering, but I think they are the easiest plants in the world. Unfortunately they can take a lot of space. Mine are late flowering this yr, but have 2-3 spikes each (one has 5). First one to open is always cut for my neighbour,(she spoils us all) but here is the second.
They are tough as old boots, and the flowers last almost as long cut as they do on the plant, sometimes 2 months or more. They are the ones you buy in those little presentation boxes for £20 or more each. Give 'em a go.
Dove, I am jealous. We now have a wilkies, but a few miles away (luckily for my pocket). I may have to make a trip
FG, another good song for Tracey's thread.
Anyway, I ran a bath an hr ago, going cold 'cos of

I think I would wrap some damp kitchen towels around those roots, Chicky.
And Tracey. Seem to be becoming more of a technophobe the older I get!!!

I think my comment re my strawberries and geraniums got missed, do I need to go to the greenhouse too (oh I forgot....I don't have one yet!)?
I'm in a dilemma, I presume it's too early to plant them outside?
Tracey - strawberries are ok outside.
What sort of geraniums - the hardy sort or the bedding sort that are really pelargoniums?

Tracey, I meant to say strawberries are OK outside, but I got carried away on the subject of wind.
Firm them in well Tracey - strong wind could blow them out of the ground .............
