The last Downton is on here next Sunday--guess it would have been the one you saw at Xmas---Forkers have been really good about not spoiling it for us poor North Americans!
I have Iris Reticulata blooming, some primulas and snowdrops. It's been a mild winter here on the Wet Coast---but quite the opposite on the East. The Japanese plum at the school is just about to burst into flower--wish I had cut some branches to force.
Good morning forkers Wish I could smell some spring .... think the birds have got wind of something in the air, but the flowers aint peeping out yet - the only primroses and snowdrops I've got are ones I've just planted I bought some hellebores with lots of buds on just after Christmas, but only one or two of them have dared to open.
But I have got a bunch of daffs on the sideboard (£1 in Waitrose - the daffs that is, not the sideboard - that cost considerably more in JL )
Just think, this time next year I'll be a retired person
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning both, thank goodness no snow to clear today, sounds like we might get some tomorrow. Just when I am going to the dentist too.
Inkadog you are reminding me that it is time for me to visit my sister. We went to Telegraph Cove to see whales and the whales had gone down to Campbell River!
Time for work, OH putting water in the windscreen washers. forgot to tell him yesterday, oops.
Sounds lovely inka , I can close my eyes and hear that not much bird activity here yet other than the sparrows trying to nest again under roof tiles... Grrr still waiting for roofer .
We are due snow tomorrow glynn, not impressed.
Dove my hellebore is still in bud also and my christmas one just won't open , one bud had blackness on it hope it isn't doomed.
OH awaiting fittings that were due Saturday **rolls eyes smiley** so if/when they arrive I shall assist him along with a full gardening day ,see how much more I can load into those bins

Not to worry, Flo--you didn't really spoil much.

Spring is so close I can smell it!
Good morning forkers

I heard an eagle doing a mating call today. There are lots of them around--they fish in the Pass below. Too soon for whales, though.
That sounds amazing!

Morning forkers,
Snow on the ground here, and temps around zero all day. I won't be going outside much, perhaps just to put some food down and unfreeze the bird water.
It's pancake day. I like pancakes, but too much trouble to make, IMO. I once bought some ready made (horse free).
I expect competitive lady forkers will be taking part in their local pancake races.

I don't bother making pancakes either so won't be competing in the forkers run, maybe Geoff could take my place
Good Morning
Pancake of the day.
Happy pancake day,
Good job Gary mentioned it - completely forgot. I'm sure Daniel will want some.
Pleased to report daughter is a lot better. Had a chat with Doc last night and they are pleased with her progress.
No snow here - quite bright here for a change.
Hope everyone's well and will catch up later.
