  • Hope it turns up soon, Marion.  It's cold here too - thick frost, but I fear I should have asked Santa for a new weather station for Christmas.  The outside sensor says it is 4 degrees, which seems a bit optimistic!

    A new catalogue arrived this morning from Marshalls.  I bought new strawberry plants from them last autumn, and was very pleased with the quality, so will have a look and see if they're selling anything I can squeeze in.

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
  • I meant to say that I'm very envious of your snowdrops!  Mine are still less than an inch above the soil.  But there's one flower on a nice deep red Helleborus orientalis...  image

    I like Marshalls too, Liriodendron.  Never been disappointed with them.  The native snowdrops are flowering now, not just the elwesii varieties.  A few of my hellebores have buds too.

    Forecast was wrong.  It was 8 degrees at one o'clock so out I went in the sunshine and worked on my lost terraces.  Wheeliebin does not get emptied till Tuesday because of the holidays but I managed to squeeze a lot more in by sheer brute force.  Whacked now but so happy at the work I got done.  It is supposed to be mild till next Monday.  Here's hoping.

    Mild and sunny up north Marion.

    Cleared lots of leaves off a border. Lots of snowdrops ready to flower were under the leaves plus spring-flowering plants which are showing new growth

    Love the hat Flumpy.  We have fog so dense this morning i cannot see the house next door.  I had a call at 8 this morning from parcelforce to say my parcel would be delivered today as they picked it up from the PO yesterday.  Forecast is for a mild day tomorrow here in Bristol then rain on Sunday.
