Well here's one new idea you can keep.  😂. Snow. 😱.  Hopefully it's just a silly winters shower. Winters last hurrah. 😁

hope it doesn't kill off my magnolia blossoms.  First year it has flowered.

LL I hope your magnolia blossoms survive the snow. I am thankful that the weather is still like spring time in London.

It was snowing/sleet here today and yesterday in east London. Just for a few minutes each time!

Hope your magnolia blossoms are ok, LL! It's been snowing/sleeting between bursts of sunshine here since first thing this morning. We have two magnolias currently (with plans for a soulangeana once we've removed more laurels) - the stellata has just begun flowering whilst the Susan flowers later. I'm sure the stellata (about five years old) has made it through snow with blossoms in tact before.....

A very productive weekend was had here - DH made massive progress with building the oak steps/boundary 'wall' to the currently sloping bed that we are in the process of levelling/lowering....but way more oak sleepers will be required 🙄 Just getting half the huge rocks moved and the ground elder dug out was a big champagne moment! Instead of buying expensive new top soil we've managed to sieve the old stuff to what I believe is termed "a fine tilth" lol and reused it....saving £££ 😁

During the warm sunshine on Saturday and Sunday I planted some of the more hardy plants we bought on Friday and yesterday - a chilly wind but still sunny - was spent moving the smaller of the rocks to their new home.

The Aldi rib of beef was deferred to Monday in the end and was delish! A few chocs and hot x buns were also consumed during the course of the weekend 😉

LL your Grandson is gorgeous!

Snow here too. First week of my school holidays. Already done loads of clearing out/charity donations. Lots of work completed in the garden too. I fancied an Egg chair from Aldi, but no luck in getting one. Next job is skip hire next week and clearing 32 years of clutter from the loft!

A very chilly minus 4 here this morning, hoping it warms up.

My Daughter was here at the weekend.  I cooked a leg of lamb for a roast lamb dinner, I used some for a lamb curry mon/tue. There is lots left on the bone which I am going to stew in the pan with potatoes, onion and carrotts!
