    Hosta - glad you enjoyed the opera - was it Glyndbourne Touring or ETO?

    Can I use the wholesale growers, Hosta?

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Dove , it was Welsh National Opera. On tour now, have a look and see if they're anywhere nearby.

    They're doing a Figaro trio. Barber of Seville, Marriage , and a new Figaro gets divored, or some such thing. An opera loving friend said it was " a great romp"

    Punk. I use them because I used to have a gardening business , have dealt with them for about 25 years, and they know I'm not " trade" any more , but they let me shop there when I'm " up country"

    I have been looking at a company South Eastern Horticultural anyone dealth with them?

    They sell perennial's as plugs and as I have time before the garden will be ready I was thinking I might buy them pot up and grow on.

    Also did a Lidl visit brought some 6 good strong geraniums to pot up and put on my balcony I need some colour image also brought 2pks x 2 of Kniphofia  and 1pk x 2 of Tricyrtis again thought I pot up and see how they go for 89p a pk worth a try, and if they work can plant them out later to.

    Hosta glad you enjoyed the opera I've not been for ages might look them up and see if their coming this way.

    Good morning you two early birds. We've had a mild day, cool but sunny.

    We are going out to dinner tonight. Our friend is celebrating his 80 th birthday tomorrow, but because his daughter (who is an ambulance officer) is on duty tomorrow, we are meeting tonight. There is a new restaurant in town which is Russian, so the plan is to try it out, I'm not familiar with Russian food, but there are so many countries included in USSR that who knows what the menu will contain. I don't fancy cold Beetroot soup, though, if that is there. I'll let you all know later what it's like.image

    Solent wind, have a look at your local theatre website. They often list under genre so you can check opera,/ classical. 

    English Touring Opera and Glyndebourne Touring are also worth looking at.

    Just popped in for a cuppa and a break from taking cuttings.

    So, I have a rather (understatement) sore mouth image How is that I had enough room to grow my wisdom teeth but not the room to remove them.... it took up quite a long time, and my dentist said that he definitely had a work out, but the tooth came out whole so that was good! image

    Panda, not as long as it took to grow there.image

    Hope you feel better soon. 

    Try ice-cream.
