    Morning all,afternoon Pat.

    Stunning sunrise and lovely walk this morning, crossed paths with a badger and later a fox. feeling chipper. Very chilly but should be in for a good day. Chicky i may pick your brain about heathers later. Right coffee time i think some proper coffee i may have some Blue Mountain left.

    Morning/afties all. Sharp this morning but we may catch some snow later. What was Verdun saying about spring yesterday.....image

    Can I take that fire to work with me Frit? image

    Trimming heathers after flowering is the key - a bit like lavender. Or get some rabbits and grouse to keep them nibbled image

    Hellebore sounds lovely chicky - what colour? A dusky pink I'm guessing...

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



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

    Aye fairy i think heather burning might be a bit extreme in a gardenimage Think i may start a thread about heather as i have old white heather needing tamed.

    Good morning, afternoonimage 

    Warmest fleece weather this morning so I'm happy that the ground is firm enough not to sink into.  Sounds as though you had a lovely walk Bushmanimage.

    Thanks for the coffee Dove, I'll sit by Frit's fire to drink itimage

    You'll be a bit more comfortable with your temperature today then Patimage

    Well done with your purchases chickyimage.  I've had lots of heathers over the years and never remembered to cut them backimage.  Perhaps I'll do what Fairy suggests and have a grouseimage.

    Have a good day all.

    I'm off to scrape the car - have a good day everyone  image

    Lesley - I never remember to cut them back either - that's why I don't like them - mine always look rubbish! image

    All right Verdun, its warmer where you are, but burning methinks you exaggerate!! Gorgeous day here, sunny blue sky, but thick frost, was minus 1, warmed up now to 0d

    Morning all!, it's very cold here in the NW but dry which I don't mind if you wrapped up warm, Verdun hope your not sunbathing again?

    Verdun yes burning i was a gamekeeper and worked on commercial moors so did a lot of heather burning
