Just a bit of weeding and tidying up in the sunshine. A lily my mum thought had died has some promising-looking buds low down so I've trimmed and repotted it.

A quick post from me - just to get me on the notification list for this thread
I ordered some seeds and fed the birds. It's cold outside. Does that count?
Sure it counts.

I have it on my bookmarks toolbar and check it rather obsessively at this time of year...
