Spent an hour in the veg plot and 2 hours in the middle bed yesterday. Now need to plant tulips and alliums in the middle bed. Saw yesterday that one of the bags of tulips that daughter gave me isn't 10 bulbs but 50, Angelique. Hope there's room!
Welcome LG, pop in when you like, doesn't matter if you forget things - you're not the only one!
OH is coming back from England this afternoon
I saw The Missing last night, gripping to the end. I hope Julian was just under anaesthetic and not dead though. But fiction so doesn't really matter but you get involved all the same.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Ooh lovely. I shouldn't really (have to limit my caffeine intake), but it looks like you need some help with that one so it'd be rude not to, wouldn't it? Cheers! I still haven't made my Christmas puddings but when I do, I'll be sure to pop an extra one on and share it here.
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
Morning all. It's so long since we had kittens I'd forgotten how manic they can be at 3am! OH, of course, just sleeps through. He did that when Possum was a baby too.
Bright and sunny here but nippy. We had frost, apparently, but all gone now. I still have bulbs to plant this pm and some of the smaller perennials we brought with us. The rest are gathered on the sunny side of the house and sheltered from winds so I hope will be OK.
Have to do a shop today cos we're off to Namur for a long weekend to sort out some stuff. Possum has asked for an assortment of spices and cooking stuff plus arylics and brushes. Seems she's gone crafty.
Chicky - you do learn to hide the worry and it is lovely not be a taxi.
Clari - have you drawn it all out on paper? Make cut out scale g'houses and hen runs and trees and then shuffle them till happy.
OH missed the first 4 episodes of Missing and the 5th didn't record so I've been waiting for him to catch up before watching the rest which we can now do together.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Morning everyone. Brass monkeys weather here this morning - just got in from chipping a hole in the ice on the water trough so the little wren who likes to stop by can get her drink . Sun's out now though. I was going to put some crumpets in the toaster - anyone want one?
Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon

OMG Clari. You need a labrador to throw on the bed and keep Reggie company, (and the bed warm) I got up early, the house cold, I put the heating on and I am sat in front of a gas fire with a cup of coffee.
When will your heating be sorted? I had my boiler changed in the summer. It was a days job, and is now due its three month check up/ adjustments if necessary. We also changed the kitchen radiators, the extension is a cold little box and needed something bigger.
Will you be on Grand Designs or is it more the £100k challenge?
Fidget: its more like a £6,000 challenge! We wont have the heating back until the plasterer has been. He can't come until the electrics are sorted. My partner was meant to be doing the vast majority of the electrics to save costs but I have a feeling he's going to decide its not for him.
I just hope he decides sooner than later so that I can start hunting for another electrician (and then start saving up).
His lordship decided that Reggie wasn't sleeping in the same room as us last night (he has a tendency to leap onto the bed at night at steal the blanket). Poor dog was most disgruntled at sleeping on the landing in a *gasp* dog bed with his blankets. I'm thinking tonight his lordship can sleep in the landing and I'll have the dog with me. His snoring is at least "cute".
For what it is worth my classroom today has had the heater on all morning and is currently at.... 12'C. What luxury!

Morning all. 3 hours sleep on two consecutive nights meant I didn't feel up to popping in yesterday.
Another day on the beach to look forward to. e
Off to see more loggerhead turtles hatching later. Here's one from the other night.

Had another three hours sleep after early morning cuppa.
Dry and sunny again today
Will get a few perennials planted now that the soil isn't frozen.
