Hi everyone, haven't moved out of my flat today, feels too cold. Bin busy all week so will allow myself the luxury of a day in. Won't be any food shortage here , I 'm cooking up a big casserole (bort a slow cooker that is too big for me!), when I've finished shud have about 6 meals to freeze.
Catching up on all the forums to see what's happening, it's nice to catch up. Have just been pottering this morning and feeding my orchids.
4° now in Dordogne, big freeze with possible snow from Saturday.
I don't think it was Bunny's carrot cake because she's always like that, I think she's just an excitable sort of a person!
I'm one of those people who sows in trays because I have hundreds of plants, sometimes 700-900 squeezed into the greenhouse on temporary trestle tables by April, some baby plug plants, some from seed. In June I have a Strawberry garden party for charity and I sell the excess plants. Friends donate plants too. This year one of our charities is for English people in France with cancer who don't speak French very well and don't understand the French system, a sort of support group. People come here to retire and it's not easy learning a new language in your 60s, though some manage pretty well.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
That's a lot of plants Lizzie, can't image the size of your garden, must be massive. It's good that you can sell off your surplus for charity, it's a really nice thing to do.

More e-bay activities to come
Is this just this house?
Geoff - same in this house.
Looks like I'm going to need a N.B.C. suit for gardening this year.

I'm very ruthless. Hate to hear the words 'have you seen........' just in case it's been sent to the charity shop or jumble.
Would put OH on e-bay if I thought there would be any offers.
Flower! Has my old Dear used to say...
"What holds a lot, holds a little, and what holds a little doesn't hold a lot"
Am home n survived! but no playing out this afternoon, It,s bloody bitterly cold out there!
Did get awarded freebies though! : )
At 99p Rose-might be worth a shot
Are we all having an afternoon nap?
As long as they didn't try to return him, that would suffice.
This time of the year, for us fairweather gardeners, it is one long nap - correct Geoff?
