Good morning , Dove, Joyce,Lynne, Pat, and Verdun.
I hope you had a bit of sleep Lynne.
I can almost smell the gorse as you walk over the dunes, Verdun. How is Spike?
I did think that Months Nigel has a new lease of life now that young Nell is pulling him around. I thought that the old one should be keeping the trainee in line, but old Nigel seems to have got quite resigned and submissive.
Chicky, I shall investigate - if it is a mouse he won't get very fat on the first proper leaves from two cosmos seedlings.
I've just had the sitting room window open to listen to a mistle thrush singing from the top of the birch tree in the garden opposite - really lovely . They're on the Red List now
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Bit dull here this morning. OH is out there already clearing the piles of vegetation he cut back yesterday and then he'll be doing lawn edges. I am on plaster filling duty and then the cutting in - after yet another floor wash and a scrub of the skirting boards. Lovely.
Has to be done tho so I can get out there and tend my treasures. There are clematis needing new obelisks and an arch to rebuild for Etoile Violette and roses to finish pruning and plants to pot up for the charity sale.
Have a good one everyone. I hope your weather is clement for whatever you're doing and that all is well.

"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
A bit more mobile this morning ( just as well, as DD is arriving within the hour ) Less pain but a decent night, all things considered.
Had another lovely message from Lyn. She's a wonder: thinking of me given what's on her own plate.
Re Crocus. I might be wrong, but my understanding is that they don't "grow" anything. They just source growing material and offer it for sale. They might well have other nurseries grow on their behalf ( maybe the same as B&Q? )
The line " we don't buy from B&Q " is up there with " David Cameron will not benefit in the future from......."
I'm such a cynic.
Best have a bit of tidy up before my visitor arrives. Hope she finds it ok .

I thought you might be referring to me fidget, as I am also a Nigel.
I sometimes get confused, when watching GW, and think he is talking about me.
