Yes Joyce the room is filled with it tonight. I didn't expect much from the stocks as I thought they were too early and forced but I was wrong! Did you get sitting out today?
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Supper over ... lamb chops and home made mint jelly, crushed and crisped baby potatoes, asparagus and green beans. OH is washing up and I'm flollopped with a glass of something white and chilled and you lot to noodle with
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
LP - I ended up with two lots of visitors.....friends and ex-colleagues. One called in before lunch after being in town and as she was going I got a phone call to ask if it was okay for the others to call @ 3,
We didn't go on the walk I was thinking of, we went to Fairhaven water garden instead, which was like a walk, lots of woodland and waterside paths lined with drumstick primulas. There was a bluebell wood too. We spent 2 hours walking round it all and we went on the boat ride around the local Broad. Finished with hot chocolate in the café.
Is there a places or gardens we have visited thread for this year? Here are a couple of photos anyway.
Didn't see Topbird's post about the church before we left.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Evening all. Had a scout camp at the museum this weekend; I'm absolutely knackered as my usual volunteer wasn't able to help so I had two others who... I'm sure they mean well.
The lamb joint is roasting in the oven til his lordship gets home which is driving the poor dog crackers! His pacing feet are at least keeping me awake.
Unfortunately I've stripped the bed so can't just have a quick nap; mind you all my camp equipment is in the kitchen so if I get desperate!
I'll bet Fairhaven was lovely today BL - it's a bit more sheltered from the wind than some of the Broads. They do great fungi forays in the autumn too.
Clari, at least have a sit down and put your feet up ((hugs))

lots of you cooking lush food tonight ??we decided to have Chinese tonight as realily couldn't move myself from relaxing in the garden with my book to cooking ??
think ive had too much sun which is rare here as feeling shattered already so quick bath fresh jammys on and in bed watching tv ,early nite is on the cards to as back work tomorrow
Dove; we're still at the stage where I can sit on either the bed, the stairs, or in the dogs bed (which has at least just been washed).
His lordship has messaged to let me know to proceed with dinner. He doesn't realise that tonight I'm testing him on a new creation; rhubarb and crumble ice cream. Might be awesome, might be awful! I need to find more inventive ways to use it up before it just goes straight in the freezer!
The round trip wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't done it a few weeks ago as well Obelixx - when I forgot my knee braces and had to come home..
Still - it's been lovely today, and I feel a bit more like myself now. No roast for me though - cheese and tomato sandwich. I'm the same when the girls aren't here Hosta, and I often don't have dinner at all
I've been quite busy with various things that have needed doing for ages. Splitting things and repotting, with a lot of tea breaks to watch the bees and the birds. Found the white Thalictrum that I obviously moved earlier this year, but I thought had snuffed it
Siskin's a good shout for Hosta's bird, Pam.
Lovely pic BL. The bluebells are only just looking like a blue haze up here - I noticed them more along the loch yesterday. Definitely bluer than last weekend.
The daft pigeon earlier...sat there for ages
What's that about!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Stocks and freesia.......a deep sniff
