    Coffee break time. I'm indoors in the warm having completed online shopping. Workmen outside in the cold preparing for my paved areas. Better see if they want tea image

     

    Pam have fun with your small people. Glyn,  just 2 weeks of teaching left roll on mid April then image  Derek - it will be worth the effort, hope there are plenty of helpers.

    G'day All

    Just done the WW thing image, bit surprised at that I must say considering all the heavy gardening I have done in the last week

    Went for foot check up and may not need to go again, up to me, but doc says will never be completely right - age thingimageimage

    He has recommended some shoes - £90 - he obviously doesn't manage on a pension, but he did say I should be able to get them half price in the internet.

    I just long to be able to wear fancy/smart shoes - before accident I probably wouldn't have but then I had the choice.

    Flo I hope your workmen are efficient and don't make tto much mess, at least it isn't raining.

    Bright sun here, but ohh what a cold, cold wind

    Hi Bjay image Glad you don't have to go back to hospital with your foot. My friend had a knee op a while ago and was also told that it would never be as good as what it was but now she's running around like a Spring chicken.

    Maybe in due time it will be a little better if you don't do too much.

    Sausage buttie then off to friends.

    Afties all. Still not that warm but it's nice in the sun.

    Bjay, good to hear your foot is possibly signed off image, bummer that it's an age thing - like my neck, have to learn to live with it image

    Workmen are doing a tidy job so far. Sadly having to let them dump a load of lovely topsoil as I have nowhere for it image One of them is able to use some of it in his front garden but it's such a shame not to have a good home for the rest.

    Right, off to garden, don't want to waste the sunshine.

  • Woke up full of the joys of spring today, have been swimming, done housework and even a bit of shopping. Im now knackered lying in a messy heap in front of the telly.

    The sun is shining but the easterly wind is so cold.

    Come in from GH. Gloriously warm inside it. B******freezing outside it, the bright sun hides a bitter wind.

    Have had a Carol Klien moment and taken some cuttings of the Stachys 'lambs ears' as should fill in spaces in new white bed.

    Have also sown some peas in a piece of guttering - does it work anyone?

    Feel quite sleepy now. So will have acup of tea whle I feed animals and then snuggle in front of fire and watch TV. May come on here, may do some knitting. Shall have to see.

    Yup, I've got peas coming along nicely in guttering. Carrots and spring onions as well.
  • Hi everyone.

    Bjay, yes it works for peas, we have done some several times and have got some on the go now. If you are troubled with mice digging them up, snails or pigeons its a good idea. We have got ours in the greenhouse to give them a bit of a head start, so you have to be careful not to over water them, a mistake we have made in the past.

    Been to town and of course came back with a couple of things I didn't actually go for including some more trailing begonia corms. I've lost a couple of mine over the winter, they have gone all mushy, so thought I would replace them.

    Is this small text a thing that is going to stay? Most annoying, I know you can adjust it but it is a bit of a bind.

    Bjay. - Hope your foot continues to improveimage

    Of to get tea ready.

    Chris

    Have just enjoyed sitting in unheated conservatory for the first time this year! The sun makes such a big difference. Couldn't believe temp. in GH was 28*C, lucky I've only got a couple of cacti and a citrus tree in there. Got round to sowing some seeds today - 6 tomatoes, I only need two or three in the autopots in the GH so decided to be sensible.
