    Morning all :)


    That's a good deal Jeferey - sure you'll have a great time.


    We have had our free entry to Wisley today. Looked as though the whole SE were there - had to queue to get off the M3 and by the time we arrived late morning the car park was full and we were put on the verges of the entrance road.


    I had wanted to see the butterflies that are in the glasshouse until Sunday but sadly couldn't face another queue of up to an hour. Had a lovely walk round the grounds although a little early for the really big displays of flowers. Think the RHS will have recouped a lot of the unpaid entrance fees as the shop and the food outlets were heaving.


    Now home & enjoying a lovely cup of tea!

    read T and C carefully but maybe worth claiming sometimes if you can get it cheaper.

    Morning CW and all. Well up relatives early for us on a sun. Gorgeous weather, has all the windows open yesterday in the house , felt like I was letting the spring in and winter out. Had a relatively busy day pottering about doing odd jobs, incl cleaning the frames of the spare room windows which were manky. Even hoovered the edges of the frames (am I the only one who hoovers their windows? ) then spent the evening making pizza dough and millionaires shortbread.

    Going to hit the garden today, looking forward to getting some of the winter debris cleared up. No mowing the grass yet as it's still quite muddy out. Although much of ours either seems to be dead or moss.

    Good morning guys

    Was cold but sunny here yesterday and it looks like being the same today. Too cold to garden as yet though.

    Its been raining overnight as well so the lawn will never dry at this rate.

    Loved watching Dancing on Ice last night, shame its the last one.

    Morning all :D. Had a lovely overnight stay in Lincoln with DW. went to Lincoln Castle yesterday, only £2 to get in as they are having a load of work done. Did a wall tour (included in price) and took in some rays, it was 17 to 18 °C but felt warmer inside the castle walls, a beautiful sunny day.
    We listed a load of stuff on fleabay last weekend so when we got back found out it's raised over £200 - result :)
    I also took the opportunity yesterday evening to give the greenhouse a good clean in preparation for sowing tomatoes, peppers, leeks, etc. I've already put some early potatoes in at the allotment, roll on spring!

    Good morning guys

    Sounds like you had a busy weekend Jeferey. Well done on getting £200 of sales on ebay. May as well have the dosh rather than unwanted stuff. lol.

    I did a bit of gardening yesterday, a bit of weeding but its still a bit cold for me. My ds took some rubbish to the tip so at least made a start on the garden.

    take care guys
