  • Morning all!

    Trying to decide whether to dig out my border near the house ready for planting up (not a fun job) or clear stones from another border (also not a fun job). It's a bit early to be thinking about hard work...

    Before we think about hard work, we'll need some breakfast

  • Morning,



    Very selfish neighbours Clari, shame. image



    Beaus mum, I marked out an extension to my veg patch - grass has now grown over the markers, I hope you have more luck with your OH.



    Rain forecast here today so inside work on the agenda. Might give my hands time to recover a bit.



    Good day all and as Chicky says nearly the weekend. image

  • Coffee already in my system, Dove... definitely need a hearty breakfast though!

    I love watching herons too.... now we've just got rid of our pond, it's unlikely they'll be visiting here again soon. No fishy breakfasts available any more!

    Morning all. Well his lordship has decided that I need a "new" van for my birthday this year. Phew!! I was getting worried that I'd have to start coming up with ideas. He's already found one he likes the look of so fingers crossed. It's even fire engine red so very appropriate! image

    My current little van is brilliant at what I need to do my job; but it was never brought with a long term plan in plan.



    I can't decide if the weather is going to break through enough to risk dresses and summer clothing or whether (unheated victorian building) I ought play it safe and keep the thermals handy.

    Morning all , hope everyone is OK and if not then take it easy.

    I have woken to discover that I still have a thumping headache, had it since Monday but at least I'm not working today- headaches and young excitable children are not a good combination!!!! Looking forward to my quiet greenhouse and some gentle chatting with my seedlings!

    Have a great day!

    Morning all - afties Pat if you'e around

    Gorgeous day again here - been a little frost I think, but not too sharp. I'd be happy if the temps never got any higher than yesterday - it got to about 14 with no wind. Perfect for me  image

    Thermals for me at work Clari - never warm in that place either. It means I have to strip off when I come outside though!

    Nice to see you again BM image

    Enjoy your trip Dove - can you get me some replacement plants for the back garden please? image

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



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