Hosta I'd happily listen to stephen fry reading the telephone directory
Did you ever hear that lovely series of letters between Napoleon's and Wellingtons horses - Stephen Fry read one side - I've forgotten who read the other, but it was absolutely blissful - I could listen to it over and over again

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Not heard those, but yes, he could make the phone sound delightful. In much the same way - Maria Callas could sing it and it would be glorious
Stinker of a night brewing here. It's already sleety and only two degrees, with a cold wind that's been hanging about most of the day. Copious amounts of tea are needed to keep me cosy.
I laughed when I saw you recommend thosee Jakeman's cough sweets Dove - I love them, and don't need the excuse of a cough to have them either...

It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
House is nice and cosy after the heating being on for an hour at 4pm. Ideal for me coming in at five
Think you're getting some chilly easterly winds soon too. Our westerlies are chilly enough at this time of year when they arrive with the rain. The temps just struggle to get to more than three or so, and it's pretty miserable. If it wasn't for the fact that it gives us our wonderful western landscape it would be hard to put up with! Perhaps I need to move to where Joyce is after all....
Spicy chicken for dinner will help to warm me up too. If only someone else would offer to make it. Can't have everything.

Well done Punkdoc. Nice to see the little grey cells are still up to speed.
I've been catching up on The Garden . I'm in August now. Stopped to make Hubby a cuppa. He's been painting wardrobe doors all day. ( house stinks of undercoat )

Dove - the series of letters was essential listening.
Wasn't it glorious Joyce
It just filled my heart with smiles - absolute genius in both the writing and the performance.

I do love a bit of Stephen Fry

OH had been buying them half a dozen packs at a time Fairy, just to keep me breathing. Keep warm this evening ((hugs)).

Yes Fairy. There's a storm brewing and the sky was rather a menacing purplish colour.
Evening all.
Day spent largely on the sofa, looking at the sunshine outside and feeling sorry for myself.
Good news though, I passed my maths primer and so will now be able to start OU Astrophysics degree. Excited and scared at the same time.
When you don't even know who's in the team

They're very more-ish...
