Afternoon - what a horrible day (weather wise) - a world apart from yesterday when we had to drink our tea in the shade because we were too warm!
Got lots of digging and mulching done yesterday - as my back can tell you today.
Went to SM this morning (hellish) and also large GC - which had run out of seed compost on Easter weekend
This afternoon I have been making spicy tomato sauce for chilli eggs tonight, the meat stew which will form the base of a mutton hotpot for tomorrow and Easter bread & butter pudding for both nights (extra cream in the custard and sliced hot cross buns instead of stale bread - yum!)
Some nice photos on here today...
Keep warm & don't get blown away - looking forward to the lighter evenings from tomorrow

Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Topbird - all the compost in the world has been delivered to Notcutts here in Norwich - there are acres of shrink-wrapped pallets of the stuff in the car park.
KEF - what a cutie
Hosta - we've run out of HCBs and I've run out of energy to make any more - can your OH lob some over this way please? And my OH probably wouldn't say no to a couple of beers either

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
By the way, on Big Dreams the other night - as they're doing the 'reveal' on the sensory garden towards the end of the programme - does anyone recognise the gorgeous red-flowered grass next to the kniphofia - I love it and I want one

Dove - I have to tell you that our local Wyevale couldn't organise the proverbial 'party' in a brewery. They were really short of nearly all types of compost - very poor planning bearing in mind that Easter is probably the biggest gardening weekend of the year. Not for the first time do I wish we had gone with our original plan to move Norwich...
Haven't watched Big Dreams yet - gardening TV tonight I think
Hosta - don't you go knocking yourself out so close to your op (it must be very soon) - we need you to be fit and healthy on the day. Not so keen on figs so we went for the extra fruit buns. Have put a few dried cranberries in the pud though & orange zest - love that combination.
Plenty of space round the table KEF - drinks in front of the fire at 6.30 - dinner at 7.30 - the more the merrier.

Lovely photos of Wonky
No experience here to give parental advice, I have enough problems looking after neighbours G pigs and one has serious attitude issues
This little girl is a gem of a daughter

Topbird any room around your dining table
I made the most of the weather yesterday too Topbird, and like you, I'm feeling it today.
Went to GC and bought some aquatic baskets to finish off water lilies.
I've just sent hubby to Waitrose as I really , really fancy a toasted hot cross bun. ( told him he could get himself another beer whilst there
)

Oh yes, if you could please - several degrees southwest please - to get away from the north-easterlies
