    Viticella Purpurea Plena Elegans  and calycina??

    calycina is a new one this year that promises winter (well March up here) blooms!

    drive carefully and remember to post your shots?

    Home at last

    There's not been a cloud in the sky all day long and I've been stuck indoors. 

    Lovely to hear so many people remarking on the glorious weather.

    Hubby went down to Bude . It was hoachin'. People on the beach , shirtless. They must be mad.

    Thai red prawn curry tonight. Yummity yum. Dove, One of those apple lovelies would go down with some Kelly's ice cream for "afters"

    LP    your OH had a great day for golf.  It was T-shirt weather today and sat out with visitors.

    Good weather for you tomorrow Fairy so the hills may be busy.

    LP- I think it may be a little chilly when I get up tomorrow!  I'll look those clems up.I have a wishlist on one of the sites  image

    Glad you got a seat outdoors Joyce - perfect for it. Hills will be busy right enough. I'm hoping some kind soul will have been on Meall nan Eun today and will have cut some nice steps in the snow for me  image

    There may also be a bumsliding opportunity...

    Those will be the folk who look like lobsters tomorrow Hosta!  image

    Or windburn Hosta!

    You're probably right I expect there would be a coastal breeze too image 

    I think Scotland had the highest temps today. It was around 18 or 19 in bonny Aboyne. image

    More of the new border dug over and some old perennials lifted and divided to fill some spaces when I start planting it up.

    Fairy - hope you enjoy your walk tomorrow.Those pictures from Glen Etive are awful. What sort of mentality makes people think it's ok to behave like that?

    Those pasties look very good Dove - could fancy one for my tea but we're having pizza - yum.

    It's been a glorious sunny day here but the wind has been very cool. Have just popped my tomato seedlings back into the propagator for a bit of extra protection tonight - temperature was down to 0.2C last night. That's not great for tomatoes.image

    Buying clematis sounds good - I need to finalise which ones I want this weekend. Also need to sort out a couple more shrubs but I'm having my usual block when it comes to visualising fully grown plants. It'll get sorted one way or another though.

    Time to clean up and mix a G&T image

    Don't forget to put your clocks back tonightimage

    Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

    I'm not doing toms this year as I don't have the growhouse any more, and I've done a cold frame instead! I'll need to have a think about a new spot for a greenhouse of some kind though. I do like my home grown toms and they can't grow outdoors here. I'm nowhere near making a decision about clems.

    Can't tell you how angry and upset it makes me when I look at that site. I'm hoping it'll be too cold for any tw*ts to be there early tomorrow. image

    Enjoy your G&T image

    Well, LazyB that I am, I swept up all the leaves under the top oak, and filled a builders bag. I emptied the leaf mould bag from three years ago into small compost bags, so easier to move around.  Then I dug up Roscoea cangshanensis and made 9 new plants, after some time extracting the octopus roots from each other.  Then I had a bath. Of course at that point someone decided to bang on the front door. Wrapped in a towel, there is a man enquiring about a table for sale. Wrong house. Humph.

    Curry for tea,  trifle for pudding.

    Don't forget Mothers day tomorrow.  Lie ins allowed.
