Haven't seen any rugby. Been busy with cleaning and putting stuff back after painting. Have t o go and get clean now to go dancing.
I hope we all get some gardening weather tomorrow. Need to get outdoors for a while and get on with rescuing a few hardy cyclamen from the grass that will be dug up for new beds.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

On my way back from town this morning I was admiring cherry blossom, and thought I really fancy a trip to Wisley......so we went. Mucho blossom - great day
Hope yours have some little 'uns to make up for my little chap. On the plus side - the robin is looking 'dishevelled' so I hope that means him and his missus are busy
I also got some seeds sown and tidied some battered crocus flowers. They suffered a bit on the wild weather yesterday.
Lovely pix chicky - glad you had a good day.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi folks. I seem to have a signal down by the sea so thought I'd do a quick catch up! Very wet here, but I had to do a gutter repair this morning (2 broken brackets causing water to cascade down the window). Chose a dryish interval but working above my head, got water up my sleeves - lovely! (Not.)
It's z still beautiful though. Bye from me and a curlew, who's going to bed...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
At last I've cleaned the greenhouse, washed the polycarbonate panes inside and out and washed the shelves. The outside was filthy, why hadn't the rain washed it? Trestles are put up waiting for plant babies. Sowed broad beans, but the compost was too coarse to sow more seeds, must buy some more.
Cloudy and colder than Norfolk was, but it has been warm here when we were away.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Fairy, Just after I switched off the laptop this morning, a pair of blackbirds were, erm, getting friendly on The Rock. Fingers crossed for babies.
Hosta, this is the hellebore 'Tutu' thatI was telling you about http://www.hayloft-plants.co.uk/helleborus-(hellebore)/tutu-/prod7338.html .
Aunty Rach - the Welsh branch of my family are great friends with Lee Halfpenny's family - I can imagine what is being said in my cousin's household
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Coo, that's lovely Dove. We can swap seedlings when you're here next.
Lovely photos Chicky.
Will do Hosta
Chicky - deep envy for your visit - it's been miserable here today.

Gorgeous blossom photos, Chicky.
