Another dull dark morning but rain forecast from lunchtime onwards so up the garden this morning to gat my fresh air fix and do some pruning. An empty green wheeliebin on a Monday is very rare for me.
Our brown bins for compostables don't get emptied until March now. Erewash council doesn't think anyone does any tidying up the garden until then. That's better than Ashfield and Derby, who think that charging people for each emptying of a garden refuse bin is a good idea. No its not, good people just carrier bag it and hide it in the normal bin. Bad ones just fly tip it.
I think your hellebores will be lovely xmas prezzies, Marion.
Got camellias ready too fidgetbones. Bristol CC charge pensioners like me £15 a year but it is for the whole year. My neighbours sometimes give me space in their bins when mine is full. Mine is half full now as it is splendid gardening weather at the moment but i took minutes off my coffee break to snap these two blue flowers greeting me this Monday morning.
Very well TY GWRS. You do get around. I managed to do quite a bit of pruning and planted three carnation plant in my perfume garden. We are do for record mild weather here at the end of the week so the flowers will keep on appearing. i bet Antwerp is beautiful for Xmas. Enjoy.
Very dull and damp again this morning in Bristol but oh so mild - no heating needed indoors. Heavy rain forecast for the afternoon so any gardening will have to be done this morning.. I will bring in some of the Charles Ross apples off the tree as the birds are flocking to eat them off the tree.
I like that it's so mild in bristol at the mo but I am so fed up of the constant rain! I've barely been able to get anything done at either allotment or my garden
Bad the rain this afternoon. I have just been out to the postbox and found two men at work signs outside my front garden - pavement work tomorrow then. Yes I too get withdrawal symptoms when I cannot get anything done outside though the conservatory does help. TV crews galore round our way lately because of filming the Brailsford Lights.

Hello Marion Your talk should be interesting, I hope everyone enjoys it.
my old cat lived to 18, and was sadly missed when she died. She was a tortoiseshell.
