Afternoon all, Rylan really has to go, it's a singing competition and he's not entertaining in the slightest. If he stays I might say very rude things to my tv.
Too cold and wet here to do anything worthwhile in the garden and we've had to put our visit to Brogdale on hold for a bit, still working on getting the OH to agree that walking in the rain is a good idea. Surely I can't be the only one who likes it?
Afternoon all, just arrived back from a few hours at Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire. Didn't participate in the ghost walk around the mill though, Halloween stuff all around the place, Jess would have enjoyed it, Becks.
Trees looked resplendent in the sunshine on the woodland walk, very muddy though. Off out into the garden while there is still a bit of sun on it.
We were at QB a couple of w/ends ago Glyn. Agree about the muddy walking & OH hadnt brought his boots home with him that w/end! We really wanted to see the Litchfield exhibition, which we did, but unfortunately coincided our visit with an apple day so place was heaving- ugh, dont like crowds these days.
Actually sat in the sun plus a book & cuppa earlier. Nice & a rare happening this year. OH has had fun apparently- taking photos of the town where he works, good.
Jean- big hugs & take it steady! I thought I'd be over this cold by now, not so. Rather wobbly today, coughing well, but at least back seems better- until the next time....
Have wrapped up some of daughter's birthday present, but spoke to OH when realised that we hadnt actually got her much. Shall sort that this week. Need to either be very quiet- ha- or go outside/go out as she's doing nights again.... J.
Oh & not only do I have a birthday cake to do, am also doing the 'C' cake this week! Not quite happy about the latter, as, despite doing the same recipe for donkeys' yrs, last yr managed to burn the first attempt! The new cooker oven is hotter at certain temperatures so took a lot of care with the 2cnd & it was fine. Still doesnt stop me worrying though. J.
Sun came out briefly so washed a few seed trays and some long pots for SP. Going to have a go using own seed!
Spent most of day making tomato ketchup. Hours. Still now bottled and sealed. Tomato glut has gone and a few C things as well.
Those dots and dashes on weather chart mean dismal mist most of day
Used Skype to view grandchild - 5 weeks old - trying to find a plant with her name for my 'family' border. Think I may have found a fuchsia but RHS says no longer available.
Any plant as long as its hardy, pretty and not enormous - 'Bonnie'
Mental few day's! But we have seriously bust a gut to get stuff done!
Water butt now in place! Fencing almost done! Now needs staining! Bed's demolished, A few new bed's knocked up n stained! Will post in time! My phone died!
We decided to have a bit of an early finish today as I needed to carry on putting stuff to bed at home!
Been Gorgeous here today! So have really cracked on!
The really sheltered front porch as thrown a surprise this last few day's, but thinking this will be the last! Been a very, very strange year!
Helloall--it's stopped raining here--at the moment--so I may get out and plant some daffodils, and prepare the garlic bed. A friend gave me a box of Orange Pippins yesterday, and now my hand is sore from peeling and coring--but now have lots of apples in the freezer, so it's worth it. Made a pie from the Gravensteins yesterday, and it was yummy. Even the pastry was good!
Quiet on here today-have been up to Crystal Palace and back -saw the huge transmitter that most of London get their telly pictures from-son's flat is so close that he can get an electric shock from the ariel connector-not sure how that works?
Dinner cooked for us so that was nice
Soggy journey on the way back-what is it with some people and headlights?-but seems to have been dry here
Jean -sorry to hear you still have the dreaded
Becks-love the picture and the sentiment
Nice flower Dean.
Hello everybody else-hope you all have had lovely days

Good morning everyone
Just a quick visit to wish everyone well. Hope all the invalides are feeling better.
We are going out for Sunday lunch to a pub about 7/8 miles away, looking forward to not having to cook.
It's just beginning to brighten up here, very misty first thing, I went to greenhouse earlier and got covered with cobwebs.
Catch you all later.
Have a good day

Afternoon lovelies!
Got loads to do, but just can't be bothered today to be honest. The vacuum thinks it's been made redundant.
We're just munching on bacon sarnies.
This sums up my motivation at the moment.
Have a great afternoon all!
Jean, get well soon. Miss you. x

Becks that's a great quote
Leek and potato soup for tea.
