Hi all. Lizzie - horses not my own. Looking after them for someone who has gone to a wedding. Used to work with race horses in my younger days.
Sat down at last. Roast chick turned out well in new cooker. Suppose real test will be a cake? Not had time today. Very cold here. Melted snow from earlier is now glistening with the frost. All my flowers hiding under a thick layer of snow. Hope they are ok
Evening, Forkers--guess everyone has gone to bed. Turned out to be not a bad day--a bit chilly. Had a lazy day--now that all my company has gone, it feels too quiet around here. Just having leftovers for dinner---not often there is leftover smoked salmon! No wine left, alas. Hope it warms up for you all soon. My spinach and radishes are well up--and there's lots of pricking out to do in the greenhouse--but tomorrow's another day. PBS is having a Downton Abbey Season 3 marathon on all day. Good night all.
I really enjoyed the downtown abbey series. Just watched Foyleswar, can't believe how old they looked, especially Sam. How long was it since the last series was made.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
We are forecast some sunshine, so that should boost temperatures in the GH. So I'll be taking my little plants out there for the day, and bringing them back into the house tonight. I could take the risk and leave them there, under fleece, but prefer to play safe.
Watched Skyfall, with directors commentary, last night. For anyone who has seen the film, the directors commentary is fascinating. The fight on top of a moving train actually showed Daniel Craig himself - no stunt double. That was trully heroic. There was also a scene where a tube train crashed through a roof. I'd thought that was CGI or a model. But they did crash a real train. That scene alone cost £2M to make.
Morning all The sun's out but most of the snow 's still lying around. Hoping it generates a bit of a thaw. Filled some buckets yesterday so will have plenty of rain/snow water for my carnivorous plants. The pitcher plant has a huge flower stalk on it . Wll have to research whether or not to chop it off. With some of the carnivorous it can weaken the plant in the case of my venus flytrap. That got the chop last week.
Enjoyed Skyfall - often wondered about that train scene.
Hope you don't get full blown lurgy, Dove. You seem to get more than your fair share.
Still no e-mails and tiny typing. Need to go back and look at the fix for it but couldn't be bothered yesterday.
I also watched Countryfiles weather forecast. Truly fed up with the white stuff - looks like next weekend will be a write off as well.

Just watched Foyles War, quite enjoyed it, as usual very calm stuff with an undercurrent
Started some proper knitting, screwed it up so undone it all.
My M would be so proud all this talk of knitting by me, just keeps me busy and stops me eating
I enjoyed Foyle's War too.

Good morning - anyone up?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning Dove, and forkers yet to arise,
I've been outside and it's the same old story.
