Sad today, another friend has died, cancer again. She was an English friend who has a house here that they were hoping to retire to, but was being treated in England. We went to see her the end of April on our way to Norfolk. She was my age.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Not good news Busy and a bit young too. I hope you're OK.
Hope you warm up soon Joyce.
Must get on and so some stuff now. I've been distracted googling around trying to find good, fish free food for the kittens after seeing that bit on Trust me I'm a Vet about fish products causing kidney problems in later life cos cats are carnivores and can't process cereals and fish products. Boggling lack of info and suppliers out there.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

BL ((hugs)) we're at that age ........... I'm waiting for the news that another dear friend's life is over ... he was diagnosed with liver cancer a little while ago.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
That is sad Busy - it always seems even harder when it is someone your own age.
Hope everyone ok today.
Had a massive lie in as was up late Glastonbury-ing. Foo Fighters were exceptional - I had goose-bumps for some of it: Times Like These and Under Pressure - wow!!!
Afternoon all, Haven't been around or a while as I have just done a marathon nanna duty. Secondborn has been doing some moderating to save extra cash for her wedding in August. The weather has been glorious hasn't it. A bit cooler now and I've been busy catching up on gardening this morning. Lots of deadheading and tidying.
Have been having to take it steady as back is really playing up (think it's sleeping in a different bed). Had a day with Merri yesterday, went shopping at Merry Hill and then went out for a Turkish Meal last night. Don't spend as much time with her these days so it was lovely to have the day together.
Have just been looking at my potted acer it's putting out some very long fronds . Can I prune it ,if so when . I know one of you knowledgeable ladies will know . I haven't a clue, don't want to spoil it .

Afternoon all.
Hosta - I did put the heating on last night.
There's a cold wind but it's drying the washing.
We could do with having some of the heat back as it's more like the end of March up here

I'm no lady, but if pruning is essential, do it in late winter, before the " sap rises " .
