What's the weather like in your area?

Too true re the greenhouse Frank. Need to remove stuff destined for the tip from there first.

Have allowed up to the first week of March being the absolute latest to do it for me.J.

Foxglove seedlings

No amount of scattering the seed where I would like new plants has ever worked for me! They always self-seed somehwhere else instead.....

I tend to leave them be, as the spots they've found are often fine.

BTW small plants are slug food too IMO. J.

Yep! Harrogate show supposed to be lovely.

Engineer phoned to say been called out to an emergency, which with the temos up here is no surprise. OH is going back today, over the tops should be fun! & daughter off to work later so I shall be on my ownsome, plus the remote with a pile of ironing & the Christmas cards.....

Early lunch for everyone now. J.

Morning all,

Brass monkeys here. Very hard frost & OH has just walked across the lawn in size 11s to take pics to upload onto this for me!!

Dean- great minds think alike re the choccy. Can 2 of us say the same thing? .....probably not, so now will rethink.

Saw the fox out the back of us this morning- trotted off down the dell. J.

What's the weather like in your area?

A really hard frost this morning in WManchester. Sun is out, but still below freezing outside. Have fed & watered the birds & just re-wrapped a couple of patio pots to protect their rims better.

OH wanted some winter flower pics from the garden so has walked across the frozen lawn!

All plans to do the greenhouse clean up abandoned. J.

Becks- thxs for the instuctions. Now to persuade OH to let me use his laptop, wont be easy, where pics are stored.........dont hold your breathe btw....

We had awful thick freezing fog around here yesterday. Horrible & we all still went out. Down to Dunham Massey's winter garden. Bitterly cold but stangely erie & beautiful with all the fog swirling around. OH hadnt any hat,scarf or gloves with him- all at the little house.... but did get some good pics after all. Best bit was a hot drink plus scone, jam & cream in the cafe afterwards. 

Refused to use the m/way to drive back. Absolute idiots going down- fog, no lights, them not me, speeding etc. Back vai A roads took 2x time though...

Went out to our local Italian last night. Realised had been 12mths since last visit. Definitely felt warmer when walking back, or it could have been the vino of course....

Our hairdresser has 'retired' through poor health. She has a fulltime PA type job & has found the having to go back out again in the evenings & w/ends just too much. After at least 12yrs we're stumped.......mine not yet need doing, but need to find someone who can deal with naturally curly hair. You'd be surprised at how many cant!

Ooh, going dark. Washing to get in. J.

nobbys

Both OH & myself brought up WMidlands & had never heard of the expression 'nobbies'.

We do both love sprout tops though, yummy.

Zoomer- may try that calabrese next year. J.

Oh heck you've all changed names again.... I'll catch up whenever, hopefully later, but could be tomorrow when everyone gone home/to work! J.
