Morning forking folk Whats going on ? It feels like SPRING out there. Been wandering around to see what needs attention and it's really mild. I've even got washing out. New iris up , a lot of primroses and umpteen bulbs.
Sorry to hear the news from Tasmania, so frightening.
Another dry day so will get out in the garden again today. My grandson helped cut down a golden elder and I had to get a pickaxe to dig out a type of pendulus grass. It's quite nice in the wilder parts of the garden but this one was too near the house.
A clematis is already showing buds. I think it's 'The President', but it seems too early to cut it down. My dad used to say if a farmer is in shirt sleeves in January there is cold weather to come. I didn't see any farmers yesterday but my grandson stripped off to his T shirt
Woke at 8am, went back to sleep til 10am, but if you say it in English time, 7am 9am, it doesn't sound so bad! But the horses thought it was awful - waiting for breakfast - and the dog was crossing his legs!
Will be in England next week, so need warm clothes?? Been wearing them here anyway.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Still in bed
Good for you
Rather grey cloud cover here but I still must get out there and do some things in the garden.
Enjoy the rest....
Morning forkers,
Had a good day in the garden yesterday. Nice to have ground that isn't frozen at this time of year.
Found a few primroses beginning to flower...
Snowdrops are coming up, but still have a way to go. They don't normally flower till February (traditionally Candlemas Day, 2nd February)...
Biggest surprise was the lupins, which were up by about 2 or 3 inches. Hopefully no slugs around yet...
Have a whole string of jobs I'd like to do today.
Hello LG, it all looks very promising in your garden - satisfying isn't it?
Have another good day
S.
Am up and dressed now -just around 10am
It is set to get gradually colder during the week and there are hints of some real winter weather to come within the next 10 days
Don't put the thermals and the hot water bottles away just yet.

Long may it continue.

Gary it is sooooooo exciting when things start appearing again.
Todays task is to move some more compost, not sure that my back is happy about this.
