    Some lovely pix Marion -  and wonderful that you already have some pollination image

    Hope the garden goes from strength to strength and you continue to get a lot of pleasure from it.

    You're always so positive. A lesson for anyone in life  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Awww, TY Fairygirl and GWRS.  I cannot believe I am having so much fun up the garden on the 9th of January.  It feels like summer up there.  Here is my nearest thing to a selfie - my reflection!

    Hi Marion you've been busy, lovely pictures and I'm loving the selfie too : ). Well it's still raining here and cold so I made a nice veg stew to warm us up : ).

    Not been able to do anything in my garden as its to wet and soggy, I really can't wait for spring now.

    How is this for colour coordination in my kitchen?  The GWMag. calender has Wintersweet on it for January.

    Awe that's lovely Marion, that's made me feel a bit more springy : )
  • happymarionhappymarion Posts: 4,591

    Forecast is for maximum of 6degrees for Bristol today and heavy rain.  We must have had a lot during the night according to the puddles outside and it is dark too.  I have the light on right now.  I think any gardening will have to be done in the conservatory today.  The forecast is for the cold weather coming to reach us about Tuesday when drier weather will arrive too.  Sounds like the first frosts of this winter on the way.  Looks like spring is on hold for now flumpy.

    This is my new favourite thread image. No idea why I didn't read last year's. It was probably too long-established by the time I arrived on the site. Not the case with this year's!
