Morning all. Not raining yet, but it's forecast to be a wet day. Must go shopping early, then I hope to do some sanding & filling around the staircase - can't ignore the state of the house any longer...
Pat, is that the view from your house? It's gorgeous!
I've heard good things of Waterperry Gardens, Chicky. Hope you enjoy your visit.
Dove, hope you find your ma peaceful and comfortable.
Best wishes to all
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Yes, Lirio, that looking south from the front verandah. Tha afternoon sun was catching the poplars, so I couldn't resist another photo. Sorry about the quality, but I just use the iPad mini.
Hello folks - back from the GP - she's not too worried about my cholesterol, given my otherwise good health and the family longevity!!! Just got to try to get it down a bit over the next six months by 'being sensible' ........ I told her we have a holiday booked (didn't tell her it was Cornwall tho' ... we'd better eat mackerel as well as clotted cream). Also had one of those lady's ***** tests with the nurse - apparently that'll be my last one - not sure whether to be pleased or insulted
Now I'll have a big mug of coffee and see what you lot have been up to, then I'll set off to visit Ma.
Pat - your view is gorgeous!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
i hope Ma is Good. We're watching meat consumption as well, because Hubby usually needs medication for cholesterol And his 6 monthly Dr appt is fast approaching. Amazing how that gives him incentive.
have gradually caught up reading back in this thread over the weekend how busy yiu have all been and so productive with seed trays cuttings and general gardening tasks I have a lot to do but we are three weeks behind weather wise so not too worried
i am saddened to see how many have had health issues with themselves or family and I hope things are better than when I read.
Chicky you have had a hideous time, I hope Mr Chicky feels better
Lesley we flew to Chicago, loved that city, then down to LA where we connected with a ship and sailed down Mexico, Guatemala, Costo Rico, Panama ( thro canal which was main object of the trip, a childhood dream to do) then Colombio and sailed back up to Ft Lauderdale and home Super things to see best memory was a giant turtle swimming along beside the sea!
now it's back to reality, SM a necessity as no food here and dil and gd arrive tonight!
might see if I can buy some seeds

What an amazing view Pat - you could never get fed up with that.
Dove, I'm at the same stage, just haven't made the appointment yet. Hope Ma is comfortable when you see her.
LilyP your holiday sounds absolutely amazing. I'm sure you'll catch up with the gardening chores in good time for spring. It still looks a fair way off yet.
Enjoy Waterperry chicky.
Hope GWRS is right and that Marion is having computer problems.

Just mown the lawn, for first time this year, it has always been too wet up until now.
