The first sip.

Mr.G just got home, opened a beer, and made me a grin an' tonic. Soooooo nice after the water I've been sipping.

A good days work in the garden.. Nice dinner, warm fire and a glass of red ( to be followed by another...)

Drilling holes in flower buckets with this:-

You must excuse my excitement but I've never done it before

Just reminded me that we have one of those, must dig it out over the weekend OH uses his electric drill to make holes in pots but I could use my dads old one & save electric

Sleeping for 10 hours straight. No getting up to help the BH (who also went out like a light), no getting up to let cats in through the window - it was warm enough to leave the window open all night - fresh air probably helped too, no traffic noise (that I noticed, anyway) Can't remember the last time I had a completely dead-to-the-world uninterrupted sleep.

Utter Bliss!

Getting my point across, logically and reasonably, without having to resort to getting cross!

Sowing Monkeys' Ass tomato seeds, the name makes me giggle

[Nicos]

Having a gentle wander around our property with OH in the sunshine just enjoying looking at the flowers and buds appearing everywhere.

As a friend has given us a mature bush which the elec peeps had to dig up replacing her cables (it's huge and she's glad to be rid of it), OH and I have had a lovely discussion making plans as to where to put it and how we can extend a small flower border further into the field.
Best of all is that it means we can extend the veg plot at the same time!

Brill- I've just ID'd the plant- looks like it'll thrive in our exposed field. It's a girl one too as it's got a couple of berries on it!
...
....Aucuba japonica 'Variegata' aka Spotted Laurel

BBC - Gardening: Plant Finder - Spotted laurel

and it's more than 10 yrs old! Brill!

HA!...this shrub is really making me grin!!

I've just read that apparently it's the perfect plant to use to create a dense hedge around such places as a nudist camp!

Deer like eating it, Nickers. One of my customers has one, it regularly gets stripped by Muntjac, and she won't put up a fence to stop them, just moans that it (and most of her other shrubs) don't seem to thrive!

Personally, I like it, as it gives a splash of colour, and can break up a dark area.

What makes me happy, is still finding out clever things my new Mac can do!

I have another cold frame! Thanks Nic!

I have sown lots of seeds and put them in my new cold frame! And I have potted up 12 blackcurrant sticks. And .. put my mizuna outside the greenhouse to see how long it would take a bee to find it. A: About a minute and a half!

A day in the sun, short sleeves, breakfast and lunch outdoors, my first swing of 2013 -

Being a big kid again

The snows cleared a lot so we've been over the moors to visit our grandkids.
