I haven't been about much but I'm glad to see everyone is still going strong.
Cracking pics HF. Glad to see you've overcome your uploading gremlins. Your place is spectacular and I missed the pics.
Why did you choose Ash as your wood? Or did you? I'm considering planting a small wood and had thought of Birch but am undecided.
Oh dear. If I don't hear from you I must be a loon or a bigot!!! Please can I be a loon? I'd hate to be a bigot. Nasty and close minded. I too have found the "ignore" button but for me it was the witterers, the pompous and the misogynists who had to go!
Soup has been made ... lunch will be served at 12.30 ... plenty for everyone
All other jobs on the 'must do' list have also been done ... now I have my feet up and am drinking coffee listening to Joyce Didonato singing some Berlioz while the goldfinches are tucking into the rudbeckia seeds in the new Sunny Bed ... I like mornings like this

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Evenin' all....or does it just feel like evening...it's been a long week
Lovely to see you Ppauper - missed your daft chat
I see there's been some nonsense....some things never change...
Would that be 'in the marsh' Dove?
No idea what you've all been doing for the last few days I'm afraid, and I don't know if I have the energy to read back, so I hope everyone is alright. I see there are colds about though - keep those to yourselves please. I want to get a walk before going back to work on Tuesday! Daughter is much better - her 'suppurating boil' has burst...who'd have thought such a small person could produce so much 'stuff' from their mouth? Hope you've all had your breakfast....
She's getting mightily hacked off with me calling her Chewbacca. Her face was so swollen it looked like that woman who had the Chewie mask
Which reminds me, do you think we can manage the last couple of days of 2016 without any more deaths? Beyond sad.
Windy again here but not cold, Hosta. Glasgow itself will be mild I should think. It was cold yesterday morning but warmed up to about seven once the wind dropped, so I managed to do a bit of repair on the side gatepost. Sigh. Gate's fine, post's solid in the ground, but the winds last week had caused the hinges to pull big lumps out of the post. I've bought some of those all singing, all dancing field gate hinges which should spread the weight better. I won't be beaten
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Glad Fairylet is on the mend ........................
The bad colds seem to be centred in East Anglia - we're blaming Her Madge who should've stayed in London rather than bringing her germs to Norfolk ............ maybe she'll share them with you lucky lot next time she visits Balmoral?

Well she wasn't at Glamis when I passed there recently Dove....but I'll keep away from the Lochnagar hills for now in case they're at the lodge by the loch. I had a bonny view of those hills a couple of weeks ago from Glen Clova
Other daughter wants to go to Home Bargains today. Suppose I'll have to take her....
It'll stop me eating Quality Street so it's not a bad thing really

We didn't have any Quality Street this year ... just two packs of Lindor, a box of rose Turkish Delight and a big wedge of raspberry and almond nougat - we've eaten all the chocs, most of the Turkish Delight and are rationing ourselves to a slice of nougat each evening ... we've also got some chocolate money ... we've not seen any children close up this Christmas so we may have to eat those ourselves as well

Hi all.
Too cold to venture out.
I can see more b####y mole hills out of the window, I had just cleared the last lot. Looks like the Somme out there.
Hope I am not on the ignore list.
Have to admit that I have complained about some of the very misleading and IMO dangerous medical items that seem to be cropping up on threads again.
When you don't even know who's in the team

Good to hear that Fairylet has got rid of the nasty "stuff".
Hosta - a bitterly cold wind today. Total contrast to yesterday when I gardened with warm sun on my back.
pdoc - read somewhere that moles are very active just now as it's their mating season
Good to see you Fairy
