Welcome Lizzie - hope you have a good break - and that the troubles are resolved or forgotten by the time you return. We look set for a fine few days, so you can make the most of the Norfolk countryside. Colours are beautiful at the moment.
Looking forward to a weekend in the garden .....no train trips for a change
You know I have a dressing gown (red with spots) a gift from his lordship. But he always frowns if I wear it for more than a morning trip to the bathroom. I'd never get away with wearing it around the house like a lady of leisure.
Almost the weekend! Today will either be wonderful or grim. BUT I WILL GET MY BULBS PLANTED THIS WEEKEND.
Good morning all Welcome to Norfolk BL. Have a good day Chicky and all the other salt miners. Clari - if they're a problem tell them you'll set Dove on them
im in bed with my second coffee. OH has gone to work. The first pheasants have been delivered to the farm shop so I'll be popping up there later to get one for the weekend. I've planted all my bulbs do you think the GC will have any left

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Up bright and early here and showered and dressed. No schlepping in my kaftan today as I am waiting for the chimney sweep. Hope he's not called Godot!
After that I'll be walking the dogs and then going on a pot and bulb hunt. I brought some from Belgium just in case but have hardly seen any here and that is a surprise. I would really like a lot of cheery daffs for spring and just hope the snowdrops I potted up last spring have coped in their pots and will grow..
Have a good day everyone. Plans for the weekend?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Purple dressing gown on! Coffee going down well and a team meeting for the new job this morning.
Was given another lot of presents and cards from job I left yesterday, more gardening gloves, kneeling mat and pruning saw hoping I get the rest of the day off, I'd like to remember what pottering about is!
Clari, my bulbs are poking through the soil of the planter! They went in 3 weeks ago, the ones in the ground aren't showing yet. Don't get me wrong I'm not being smug cuz I'm organised, its just the rest of the garden looks a neglected tip and it made me feel better about it if I blamed weather and looked forward to spring!
Hope everyone has a lovely day, nearly the weekend folks! no gardeners world tho....
Ooh pheasant, Dove. Rarely see it in France, apart from live birds in the countryside.
Woke up a bit early, still on French time. Been having coffee in bed but reading as OH had the iPad.
Thanks Chicky, think the upset needs a bit of time. I mentioned selling the house because it's too big, too isolated and too expensive to run, but daughter says all her memories of her dad are in it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Busy hope you have a good stay, Dove pheasants mmmm, WW hope you get to relax over the weekend, how nice to get so many gifts, yiu must have been appreciated! Obelixx sounds good, your weather obviously warmer than up here DD sounds as if life is better, am glad.
Chicky and Clari hope the bulbs get planted. Joyce, Lesley Fairy Bushman and all other "northerners" hope we get a nice weekend but fear the weather has changed.
OH has arranged a nice holiday for us (I think he is worried I might be a bit stressed! Me lol?) so we off for a couple of weeks on Sunday
stay safe and well

Glad you've arrived safely and hope you enjoy yourselves. Not looking forward to darker evenings once the clocks go back.

Hi all.
Grey and foggy here, but very mild.
Like the sound of pheasant.
I think perhaps I need a purple dressing gown.
