    Amberspy image

    I don't even have a gas hob now so if the leccy's off we just have to use a candle. Takes a helluva time to boil water for a cuppa though....image

    Obelixx - I think you've had enough injuries to be going on with! Hope that's nothing too serious.

    I've been shifting gravel in between the hail showers. It's gey windy. Got the washing almost dry but I thought it best to bring it in before the big black cloud that was looming decided to open....image

    Potted up my bargain bulbs I got last week. The Liatris look a bit rough, but even if I get a couple of plants out of them it's still a good little bargain. Sowed a few more sweet peas too. Did it in the kitchen as it was too cold earlier for that sort of thing outside.  I've been seed sowing like mad this year. Hope I have room for them all!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    daughter stayed to watch footy with her man so Hubby and I went to the garden centre . 

    Clematis Koreana Stephanie and some seeds followed us home. She's now asleep on the sofa. I think  she finds football as exciting as we do.

    Hosta, that Clem looks gorgeous image

    OH should be home very soon, we'll load the car and go so won't be around much for a couple of days.  If someone could keep an eye on my seedlings ............ image

    Very pretty clematis Hosta - gorgeous colourimage

    Hope you have a great weekend with MIL Dove  - safe journey.

    Hope leccy comes back on soon Amber - at least there are still several hours of daylight left. The freezer will be fine for hours if you don't open it. Mine was ok when the power was off for nearly 2 days - just threw away a bit of sliced bread which had started to go soft. All the meat & stuff was still frozen solid.

    Which bad person put up that pic of chish & fips? Could really fancy those right nowimage

    Hello all.

    If it's as cold where you are as it is here, Dove, the seedlings will be huddling together for warmth... I've just come in to escape the sleet.  Hope you have a lovely break.  image

    Mmm.  Hot cross buns...  image  Hope you get your leccy back soon, Amberspy.

    Good luck with keeping Cosmos "rested" for 15 days, Obelixx...  image

    Evening all,

    Pat so sorry to hear about HRH, hugs from me.

    Chicky I've started a thread re creating wildlife pond, it's going OK so far.  Mind you I am aching terribly.  Went to weightwatchers this morning..... pity I was the only one, it appears there wasn't a meeting todayimage.

    Hopefully I'll lose a bit before I go next week so the gain wont be too bad.  Having said that I really fancy chocolate at the moment.

    Hope your leccy comes back on soon Amber.
