I willbe with 2 others, so hopefully we won't all fall asleep. I hate the travelling bit, I am Always exhausted when I get there. Iwill have a lie in on Friday morning.
It's very built up there but lots of planting along roadsides, little garden squares dotted around the place and some nice parks. I went to the HK flower show once which was close to the hotel.
I had a navy gaberdine mac. You can't get them any more.
Since that 1963 winter at least outdoor clothing has improved considerably.
Inka, that makes sense - to close the schools when it wouldn't be safe for the kids to travel or to be there. There has been some unwarranted criticism of teachers about the school closures here yesterday, but when travelling conditions are getting worse as time goes on it makes sense.
Me too Pam, we called it a Burberry, I suppose it had something to do with the company but we just used it as a generic name. Double breasted with a belt, I think. Wore it with my Tuf shoes for girls.
Goodnight all, It is time for my bed. Sleep well all.
No snow last night. The wind seems to have dropped too, so it feels less raw than yesterday. But we've got light snow forecast for the whole day. Not good.
I like to put my seeds in the propagator mid-February, which I regard as the beginning of the start of Spring. Only 25 days to go.
morning. Peeked outside and the snow is still there . Thought we were in for a thaw yesterday but according to weather forecast, we are due more today. i tried to post a link from A.O.L. yesterday but ended up with just a few words. They were saying that we should all be prepared as there was more snow to come.
Gary. I also start my seeds early Feb but have some seeds outside in pots that I've been told need to be chilled. Astrantia , which I collected myself so I'm hoping for the best.
Glyn - I can't seem to get motivated either. I'm blaming the weather.
Daughter up & already working! She went out to feed the birds earlier & I'll do the afternoon top up.
Was only thinking that need to get into shed soon to find my propagator. I roughly know whereabouts it is, but reaching it.... In between various appointments/trips out etc will have to get shed sorted pretty soon. Shall try for sometime next week I think as energy levels will be improving again by then, I hope!
Have already a list in purse, along with gift voucher, for 'needs' so do need to check exactly what's in there before I go to GC.
Seed order done, only a couple of non T&M ones to get when next at Wilcos or GC. I did have to explain about which seeds were biennials & no point this time until we find out what is already in the garden of her house. Also she wanted some plants that I have so no problem there as can propagate/split etc for her. What I didnt say to her was already have an on-going list for her should she require things!
She knows she's got a sunny patio, so plans to do some big pots on that. She wasnt impressed when I was jubilantly exclaiming about having her current bedroom windowsill all for plants! Propagator goes on ours though as I set it on a timer to save on/off.
Have found Mum's applecake recipe- as usual she's totally vague about ingredients, she was just a natural baker & as for her pastry... That'll get done this afternoon. J.

Morning Gary and Glyn.
Leisurely start, have been reading over breakfast. No weather yet. Remaining snow is very crunchy. Snow unlikely to reach us here, I think.
Morning lyn and Gary, Had a lie in this

Snow had all melted last night and it was raining. Meteo France hadn't forecast snow here but everything is white this morning. Back to sqare one!
I'm up, but still to get into bathroom.
