Morning all. Had a catch - up. Nice to have Dan back again. Jean, you have my undying admiration - I went outside for about 15 mins yesterday and had such frozen fingers that I gave up and came in again. Rubbish night on telly so went to a local am.dram. I didn't realise Agatha Christie was that popular!. The theatre holds 450 and there were very few empty seats.
Really cold again, a few small snowflakes settling on cars. Maybe I'll brave the greenhouse today.
Keep warm. eat cake, drink brandy and hot chocolate and have a good day forkers.
Good morning all - white stuff sprinkled around - nothing that absolutely has to be done in the garden (other than put the rat bait boxes out there ), but bread and scone making is on the agenda and some pork to roast - other than that a bit of reading/knitting/watching tv - I think I'm due for a lazy day - anyone care to join me?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Your day sounds lovely , like the sound of bread making haven't had another go yet, machine usually does the work to be honest
I fancy making a quiche this week (first) , look forward to harvesting things to make them with (hopefully something will grow hehe) ... Eating outside on the warm summer nights .... Ahemmm hint weather co-ordinatior , summmmmerrrrrrrrr of sun and warmth please
Morning all. Cold and grey here -5°. Nearly time to refill horses' water, but outdoor tap is frozen. That means carrying containers from the kitchen (or pushing them in wheelbarrow). They drink 40L a day each. When weather's like this it doesn't go above freezing all day.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good exercise ! Had to laugh at water containers , when we lived in tourer caravan OH used to take our tanks to work each day to fill them and bring home at night and carry up the site ...brought back memories there for me
Morning all, weather much the same here. I am off to the hairdressers in a while. Suppose I will be in for a couple of hours. Might venture out into the garden later, depending on how cold it is when I get outside.
Lazy sort of day today, going out chez friends for lunch. Good night on TV tonight, Countryfile, Call the Midwife and Mr. Selfridge. I wanted to be a midwife, but after general nurse training met 1st OH and ended up having babies instead! Did 3 months obstetrics. Not all women yell as much as they do in Call the Midwife! My OH can't watch it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Still no sign of ice melting and by the light scattering of snow on the pots guess we has a little overnight.
Jean I know you and OH worked hard yesterday bUT rain
I have a most amazing icicle hanging from the sput of one of my water butts. Didn't realise it dripped till i saw it.
I love churchyards. At the Priory Church here the gravestones are fascinating - many are from other parts of the country, probably came here for the water cure and promptly died. There is one of a whole family - keep meaning to look them up on the census to find out about them
I have posted a question for rose experts No garden today, just thinking ablout it and maybe ordering some plants

Sounds like old Agatha is making a come back
Take a brew to the greenhouse if you venture, keep you warm .... Could do with a kettle in mine

The sun has gone and been replaced by clouds
