    sounds like you had a good family get together all things considered, it's being a family which helps you all get through what you're going through. Still sending hugs to all.

    Sounds like Granny had a good send off...14 for breakfast..oooh the smell in that kitchen must have been wonderful!!

    Love the idea of bright and cheerful undergarments...you can have a little smile knowing that you have snuck round the all-black rule, if there is one.

    Off into the garden again today. Well, I need to get some potting up done as well as more sowing. I did indeed get the greenhouse washed yesterday, and it looks so much better!!!

    I am quite pleased at how many plants have survived the winter, though a few I thought would have come through, look decidedly iffy atm. I rang T&M on Friday about one of my Braeburn Apples which hasn't survived (Tesco offer, bare-rooted, got delayed in the post last December). They are sending another by the end of the month :j:j

    So off now to write some labels...may have to scrub clean some more of last year's labels first though!! There's always something needing to be done before getting on with the main job in hand!

    Hope your journey north is without incident Pippi...any more snow today?

    Sunny here again today, after our first decent rain last night for over 2 weeks!!

    Ooh, I can here a skylark outside....spring is definitely on it's way!!! :)

    Hi Pippi :wave:

    Thought I would drop in if that is ok?

    Its is ages since I have seen you so to speak :)

    I shall have a little catch up but I have just seen that sadly you have lost your Grandma, so sorry to hear that sweetheart.

    Hope all is well in stripey land?

    I have been in the diner but lots of people missing at the mo.

    Oh and how is the lovely Darwin?

    One day I shall have the free life that I crave, of course by the sea :cool:

    Well there is no other way is there?

    Much love and take care.

    Hope the weather has improved today for you Pippi.

    Quiet here today!

    Had planned on getting sowing done...but not feeling great today....off to have another lie down now. Had to cancel my work for the next two days, on the docs orders.
    :(

    Will pop on again tomorrow.
