WHOOP WHOOP Clari! You deserve some recognition for what you're doing. I expect they'll only realise how good you are, after you leave...
Enjoy your "hidden walk", Chicky & Mr C. Hope it's not so well hidden you can't find it.
Hope you're on the mend, Wonky!
Off to "oldies" (U3A) Art class in a mo. Need to take a bit of care on the slush... heavy snow showers earlier have settled on the tops, but are mushy down here. Roll on Spring!!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Thanks all, I feel much more hopeful about the Cosmos now. I will pinch them out when they are bigger and, hopefully, they will grow bushy. Other years I've had tall ones in beds, but I don't think they really like the hot dry days in summer here. I wanted bushier shorter ones for pots so I can control the watering better and Antiquity looked lovely.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all. Since we're thinking of selling up and downsizing while we have the energy to sort out a new house and garden I think I might sow annuals like cosmos as OH loves them and they'll fill gaps in the borders very nicely.
Have to wait another 2 weeks tho as going on hols next week and Possum is house and cat sitting but doesn't do plants.
Well done Clari. Not a scouty person myself as I got thrown out of Brownies for not wanting to dance in circles pretending to be a fairy and Possum didn't take to the pluralist mixed scouts here.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

B L Yes unfortunately dad passed away in January had not been well since last November in and out of hospital, they did celebrate their diamond anniversary last March.
And yes ay wife has PPMS she has care three times a day for a few hours I do the rest its much easier now we have the house back and all the alterations done, she's able to scoot around in her wheelchair just need to stop her doing handbrake turns in the kitchen
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Afternoon everyone. I haven't read back yet because every time I tried to open the site today, I got strange results. It seems to have sorted itself out now though.
they showed some scenes of the U.K. srorms today on our weather channel. It looked very frightening. I hope you're all OK.

Cheers all! I'll get the cake at brunch time! As daft as it sounds it makes me feel so much better having you say well done!
Will you be staying in Belgium, obelixx?

Staying positive is the best way to cope tho not always easy. I hope your wife can access the garden in her wheelchair and enjoy nature.
Afternoon all.
Dodging heavy showers, as I go to and from the greenhouse, trying to get some of my Dahlia tubers started.
It is a big job, as every year I seem to find another 1 I must buy, even though I have too many already.
pleased to say my Colocasia has grown a new shoot.
