Jean-is that "The Daily Express"-they forecast a tough winter last year but it was mild up to January-I shall now expect a heat-wave and you will need lots of salt pinches
Braced and gritters-I don't think so-it is going to be wet and windy for a couple of days that is all-we will survive-just scaremongering-but stupid scaremongering
Glyn, start entertaining your guests in your garden itself. Those who genuinely want to see you won't mind chatting as you work the garden. Those who don't will stop coming!
Can't keep up with all your posts, you have been busy. I enjoyed the Waitrose tweets.
Sunny here today. Really wanted to dig out and sort a part of the border I'm not happy with-a bit more variety needed/some things not performing enough.
Instead however, I have been digging out my daughter's bedroom. Can almost see the floor again now. I may head off to the garden centre later as a treat.
Gary-I agree that GW must have been filmed a few weeks ago. My crocosmia Lucifer has finished, was flowering in August I think, and I'm about half an hour away from Harlow Carr.
Don't know about growing a pair Jean (or a pear) but I have grown a very dodgy shaped tomato. It is supposed to be a Gardeners Delight-aren't these meant to be smaller toms? Mine have grown much larger than I expected, trying to be beef tomatoes I think.
I notice it also says flash flooding and traffic chaos-gritters will be so useful
I have promised that I will clear the loft soon so If I disappear for days on end I am still up there reading old stuff-my signed George Best book must be found to fund my like style

Anyway....tidying continued......
Phew, glad you posted that Geoff .
I shall watch out for camels.
Sorry - yes, it was the Express.
I still have some orange crocosmia in flower, just the red ones have finished.

We used to have bedrooms like that Nola
You can practice your jump from out the loft Geoff?!
Nola tells us what treat you buy?
Geoff I am so relieved, I was just getting my snow shoes out.
Becks, Geoff was going to fly the plane and chuck us girls out the door
Jean it is so frustrating when you grow a plant from seed and it does not flower.
