Been pottering round the house this morning then took son no. 3 to work and did a detour to the large GC on my way back as its only 3 minutes from the school. I've come home with a bag of seed and cutting compost - but its frozen solid at the moment! I don't intend to sow anything yet (except maybe a couple of pepper seeds) - just as well really.
Son no. 2 is muttering that he's bored so I've suggested he go and do some baking. He's now moaning that he can't find the baking book but he had it last......
Fine snow is falling here and has been for most of the morning. Not enough to make it difficult for me to get to work though!
Pleased i did clear GH as now another layer on it. In danger of running out of cut logs. OH thought he had chopped enough but using more than usual and wood store bit tricky in 6ins snow
Can't afford to go any where exotic so Cornwall this year and maybe Scotland. Both places we love. Oh and of course Yorkshire. Going to have a go at a 2 week break. Last year we managed it when baby was born but M plays up even though she's in a care home. Before she went in we were reduced to 3 days, so 2 weeks will be 'exotic'
After enjoying last year's holiday so much, I did want to go back to Spain, but I also want to re-carpet the house, decorate and buy a dishwasher. Funds won't stretch to doing all, so may well skip the holiday plans this year. You are all saved from seeing pics of my sunburnt back this year!
Thank you Geoff, they are my favourite garden birds. I did consider carefully which bits if the bird's name to use, Geoff. Always potential for ribabldry with the titmouse family. Mr Google tells me they're in a different family from our other tits - well, you learn something every day.

Bjay, found 1 dahlia that may be short enough-
Karma Choc, 65cms & a dark red.
Suggest you drool over Sarah Ravens choices too...... J.

Moving on from things as they were- and exciting jobs for today/tomorrow
who else is planning a swanning off trip this year?
Light snow isn't light anymore

Nice new pic and name Flo
Lottie-Potato Queen- I need some suggestions for early potatoes please-other than Charlotte
I guess this is towing the caravan Bjay??-seems a few long hauls are in mind?
Jo why are you happy, I want to buy those Clematis seeds
I thought that the Happy Dahlias are quite short.
I am planning a holiday, possibly on a boat out of Southampton.
Yes, towing but the advantage is you can break journey. we used to visit Malvern for weekends
We have found a good site near Glastonbury for short breaks - lovely home made cake
When OH is 65 I hope we can be more exotic at the moment he has no pension or benefits
so pennies are tight
