    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.

    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 image

    One in one out or something - so  they say Hosta. image 

    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 image

    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. image

    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.)  image

    It's z still beautiful though.  Bye from me and a curlew, who's going to bed...  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Gorgeous blossom photos, Chicky.

    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?image 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.
