Just looked at the News, when will it stop? So awful for those affected.
Soon we will be going out to look at 2 friends gardens having their Open Day. Each is 30 mins from here, but they are in opposite directions. I wonder if the one in Saint Germain des Prés is the one you are going to, DD?

Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The aim of the attackers is to cause a response from the west which will ignite war which will cause the end of the world ... That is what their sect believe must happen. It is a twisted interpretation of Islamic beliefs and they must not be allowed to cause strife between the major religions of the world.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Just terrible the events in London last night, these are truly troubling times, as so many of us, me included, have relatives living in London and other parts of England. Only hoping and praying these attacks don't start here (Ireland).
Haven't seen the news and don't plan to, shocking and upsetting as it is. OH told me this morning before he left for golf and I can't cope with a repeat of the sort of coverage Manchester got. Just who said it was OK to dumb down Beeb reporting and editing so badly?
I sincerely hope everyone with connections in London has no bad news today.
On a brighter note, I have finished sanding!!! Well, with the noisy, vibrating machines anyway. Just some tricky bits to do by hand and then I can oil it all and let it rest a few days.
Then some planting if I have time. OH wants me to go to the prize giving this evening and meet a few people......... I've only ever met 4 golfers who could talk about anything else. One was keen to pick my brains for his new garden habit and the other two we knew thru dancing so took to going out for dinner as 3 couples. The first was in as an Irishman who works for the EU on ecology/climate/global warming initiatives and agreements and is a stickler for grammar and funny with it.
DD - be general in you menu so you can change "flavour of the day" without changing the menu every time. Be prepared to have a seasonal/weekly/monthly special with the latest fruits and veg to come in fresh and tasty - and cheap to source.
Pdoc - sounds like you need some Malware protection.
Everyone - enjoy your Sunday as best you can. Don't let the nasties get you.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
I put my house plants under the shower or dunk them in the big scullery sink which has a shower option on its tap. They love it, even the orchids.
I've been looking back at old pics of the garden to try and work out what's going on under the ghastly weed fabric we found yesterday and it was an old climbing frame and swing which accounts for the strange metal pipes set at an angle in concrete and some still with the stumps of wood in them. The thing on the right which she took with her, along with the tree house and wee Wendy house. The sand pit has become my herb patch.
It's going to be such fun to clear!

Good morning on this sad and somber morning
such violence in "peaceful" times is beyond me. As Punk said the last time, he expected to see the horrors where he was, but on our own streets?!
Half our family are in London and the Moscow ones return in August. They all admit they only live there for jobs.
we have to get the top netting on the fruitcage, the compost bins are almost complete Very proud of OH!

Horrible news
. Hope everyone manages to check in with friends and family soon

Another one...
I admit that I welled-up listening to the P.M's response speech.
On a lighter tone, garden jobs are postponed until the showers pass (4 pm?). I've just popped the house plants outside for a drink and dust.
Lovely morning here.
Have been up since 5am went out to the garden early and have accomplished quite a lot.
I put my house plants under the shower or dunk them in the big scullery sink which has a shower option on its tap. They love it, even the orchids.
