BD whereabouts in Suffolk are you? I grew up in Hadleigh and my parents now live in Felixstowe

Well what a small world...I grew up in Hadleigh too! After moving round a bit (including working in Denmark) I have ended up near Bury St Edmunds. Currently renting and hope to buy somewhere in the area this summer as we like Bury and the surrounding villages.

It's a bit tamer and more quiet on screen than in real life, (the salmon of albertine isn't singing, nor the various shades of red from fuscia hued through purplish, through to blackened, but all the colours of my north garden in. One little posey.

Evening

Been mia a bit as been terribly busy with really dull things

However I am going to be around a bit more over the next wee while . I had great plans to get stuck into the garden today but it has been pouring with rain all day so I have just been mentally planning what needs done (which is a lot ). The frint lawn continues to look like a summer meadow and I am going to be more than a little sad when it is cut, however it really does need to be smartened up.

The hedge is also becoming a bit unruly although mercifully it is fine on the street side so not as urgent as the grass.

I went to a talk by a guy who breeds Ixworths both for meat & eggs & he was doing really well with local hotel trade - he had quite a set up. I'd never heard of the breed until then - March this year. They must be hardy to survive & thrive up here.

And they are great in salads . And rose petal jelly. (Only a clue of reds though really). So they are 'valid' IMO for the self sufficientish.
