Oh that's a lovely thing to do flo , olive sends snuffles and wags for all...
Stay warm , plenty hot drinks to keep you going, hope people give well generally we as a nation are pretty soft for dogs
Think it will be local one I shall go, only small limited stock but not a huge chain which I approve of and as the sister branch is over the border in Scotland tend to sell hardy plants which suit my garden
Sore foot today, OH has taken pooch out , I shall sort breakfast/brunch on their return .
Hello all. Bright and sunny here at the moment but as I'm still car-less I won't be going to the GC. Shame as tea and cake would be nice.
I did some collecting for Guide Dogs a while ago outside Tesco, helping my friend out, and had a trainee dog with me (on loan). Got lots of donations and everyone stopped to make a fuss of the dog, who was extremely well behaved. Am sure you will do well Flo. I did notice though that the people who gave most generously were the ones who had dog food in their trollies!
Talk of bulbs reminds me I have some lily bulbs in pots somewhere - but can't remember where! Will have to investigate over the weekend!
Another lazy day-did not wake up till 8 and then lolled
Flo-I hope you collect oodles today-am with you in spirit
And now the weather-it will stay mildish for the next few days -but is set to get much colder again from midweek-so all those who think Spring is here-you have been warned
Flo I am sure you will collect loads Geoff: need to do a bit here and there, otherwise spring will be here and you will need to do everything double pronto! Have been out there. Sun is lovely. Opened cold frame to let a little fresh air in. Could eat a lettuce out of there on Sunday. Would love collecting, gardening, GC, cake and tea. Alas, saltmines calling!
Hehe grunt-futtocks ?? Where did you get that ...I shall be saying that today now..
Belly dancing would keep you warm too Flo , maybe there will be a YouTube clip later...or perhaps on the news
I shall not get carried away by the sun weather forecaster which has begun to appear ...yey.
Half term this week here , funny how places different . Right off to jolly OH into building (slotting together) cold frame so I can play with it . I shall get all the pieces out then look bewildered and sigh. That should work
Just returned from GC. I had been planning to buy a couple of pots, but abandoned plans when I discovered that GC has just got new stock of plug plants - petunias, lobelia, etc, I like these and they sell out quite quickly. So ended up buying some. Got some strawberres (that I don't need), 4 for £2; and some tomatoes (that I don't really need), 4 for £2.30.
They also had some bags of niger seed marked 'end of season clearance'; not a lot cheaper than normal, but every little helps.

Morning lovelies.
Lovely day out there. Jess's last day at nursery, then half term! Hope the weather stays like this.
Slept terrible, and have a bad back now. May turn the mattress later.
Great links Gary. I like stuff like that. Although not landing in my garden.
Lovely pic Pam. I love the colour!
Good luck Flo! Maybe you could belly dance at the same time to raise the funds??
Grunt-futtocks all

I had to look it it Geoff
Cold frame built , slot together, bit waffy but ideal for me on the decking .
Best get on with the day now , the sun is shining, blue sky happy days .
