Just got back from a week's hols on the east coast (just outside Southwold). We hired a beach hut on the seafront of Southwold, else it would have been a dead loss.
Our youngest son managed to remember to water what was in the greenhouse, but totally forgot the house plants and also forgot to put the bins out for the rubbish collection last week so it will be a trip to the tip this week.
Didn't take my pc with me as we were staying in a very remote cottage and I didn't want to leave it behind each day, nor did I want to cart it about with me, so left it at home. Been trying to catch up on everyone's news but haven't managed it.
I did read some posts and was very sorry about the waxwing. I have never seen one. We find in our garden that blackbirds start to make nests and then go off without using them. Sometimes the nests are only just started and other times they are completely finished.
Hello all. Clear cool day again here. I'm about to hang the first load of washing out. We're off to Canberra tomorrow for Hubby's visit to the endodontist, again.
I love seeing the geese Hosta. They're exotic for us. I've never seen them except in various wildlife films. Amazing that the babies look the same colour as the grass.
Hi Edd. I haven't checked in because I thought you'd all be asleep.
I've been outside in the autumn sun hanging washing on the line as well as cleaning out my wasp traps and filling them with new bait. We are getting zero degrees and thereabouts for the past few days, but the day temps have been about 15-20, so no excuse not to be outside doing some jobs in the garden. The European wasps are busily gathering food for winter, so it's a good time to catch them. I witnessed one grab a honey bee mid flight one day and kill it. Not happy about that!
How is the family? We've had our son visiting. I put a photo of his lovely little cat on the other thread.
It looks a beautiful day out there this morning ... Unusually OH will be working today as a colleague is away ... I'm going to make a lemon meringue pie and roast a chicken for when he gets home ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I forgot to look at the wind speeds for walking today - don't think I'll be going where I intended! 40 to 50 mph and 'severe buffeting'....isn't ideal on top of a scrambly ridge....
Cloud is right down here though, so I will have to rethink my options...
Bluetits are going daft around the feeders - hope they have some little babies. My apple blossom certainly won't have any greenfly!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Hosta, the salvia black and bloom is stunning too! Any you want a division of I can send down with Dove when she visits on holiday
