    Hmm - it seems that the words 'lawn' and 'mower' in my post above have been turned into a hyper link by some software called 'skim word'. Clicking on it goes through to lawnmowers in ebay. image I assure you I am not trying to sell anybody anything image

    (not today anyway image)

    Hope this doesn't mean there's a problem with my 'puter. Might be a problem on the website - unless there's some paid sponsorship going on?

    Sounds like a good time has been had by all - workers and relaxers alike image

  • Topbird - that sounds a bit suspicious image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Topbird  We were in the same stituation with our lawn. OH has cut it today, (his birthday treat!) and it makes tho whole garden loo much better.image

    One & Only paid a flying visit this weekend image to celebrate OH's birthday. 14 of us went for a Chinese  followed by our monthly quiz night. We came last but 1 or joint second depending which way you look at it. (Only 4 teams this time!)

    Definitely second MaryGimage  well doneimage

    Had a good tidyup/weeding session ...beginning to look so much better out there now. First time this year that I came in because I had run out of steam rather than lightimage

    Acer all planted up - looking good.  Lots of things growing away when you get down on your hands and knees and furtleimage

    Sympathies with the neck Dove - sounds ouchyimage. And hoping secondborn's house is ready very soon  Yvie - they are so lucky to have you available as a stopgap (bit of tidying wouldn't go amiss thoughimage).  Surely there isn't any more fence left to paint Fairy ....or are you starting from the beginning again already?

    Was a rather cold day, but didn't matter because friends came to lunch, Coq au Vin, apple crumble, and we sat indoors with the wood burner merrily blazing. Had a good natter. OH is feeling a lot better today.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    You've had a productive day then chicky  image

    I got quite a bit done too. Bone meal tickled in and a layer of muck on top in the beds that weren't frozen. Planted a hellebore and tied in clematis shoots. Lifted two carexes which need new homes now.  image

    Touch up painting only - where plants tend to rub against the wood and also where the beds get a battering from the rain. An extra coat on one end of the shed too. Forth bridge syndrome  image

    Nice lunch BL - just the thing on a chilly day. image

    Didn't fancy the Night Manager. Is it good though GWRS? Anyone watching Trapped - Icelandic Scandi drama? 

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



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

    I hope each and everyone has a restful evening image

    This is the time I feel slightly envious of the southern folk - grass cutting, digging, planting, etc.  Our garden is pretty solid at the moment and when it warms up it will be mudimage.

    Sorry your neck's still sore Dove but it's been a great weekendimage. Hope Wonky can get up tomorrowimageimage

    Sounds as though you had a good day too Lizzieimage
