Howling wind and grey skies here bUT above freezing - just. Woke up to blue skies though and felt for a moment spring-like
We have blocked outside drains so OH is putting stuff down them. Can't use washer, dishwasher or even wash my hands in the kitchen sink till i's worked it's magic.
I too am waiting for plants from both T&M and Suttons.
No marking here any more either. or evenings bent over a computer getting lessons planned.
I hope to go on a trip to GC and B&Q (yesterday was a thread about them selling off plants). But will have to see what mood oH is in after the drains as he has to drive.
Morning all, busy day today, making sandwiches for 30 orchestra for concert OH is singing in tonight. Have to record GW. Really enjoyed Beechgrove on BBC Scotland last night, they crammed such a lot in although it was snowing so actual gardening was out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Looking forward to seeing it, Lizzie. i suppose it is on iplayer before it starts in England. Only wish I had a means of viewing it on the tv screen instead of on the computer.
Lovely to see signs of Spring! My daffs have started to flower- the ones I have in a sunny spot near the wall. Buds are starting to open on the tree I can see near the kitchen window.
I had 2 pairs of Siskins on the feeders on there today

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

GG gardening is for people who are claim & cool so just sit tight and look forward till sunday then watch it on TV.
Ended up calling dynorod who are here now. 40 mins from time of phonecall to arrival, OH said it went ploop suddenly and water level has dropped YAY
never thought i''d get excited about drains
Bjay, I share your drain pain! Luckily I can usually make mine do the ploop with my own drain rods. Not a choice job, though. Good for speedy Dynorod.
Glad Beechgrove has been mentioned, thanks folks. I'd managed not to notice when it was on so a Sunday repeat will be welcome.
Afternoon peeps. Hope you are all well. Have been so busy
I have received a message from Geoff and it says 'message returned'. Can anyone help me , please?
