Outrageous!

Anyway, don't buzzards prefer to eat carrion and worms?

I'll whisper in case you're a bit delicate this morning... Happy birthday for yesterday!

Not much sun at all MMM - just grey and cloudy. Today has been awful again with on/off drizzle.

Still, the new grass is growing well so there IS a silver lining to all this rain.

All we need now is the SUN!

:cheers: They're back!! Looked at this thread yesterday and thought - blimey! they are late this year. Then driving back home through the deluge, I've just seen about 10 swallows swooping about and gathering mud (of which we have lots!) for their nests. Yours are probably on their way too MMM. :icon...

Well done!

Have to say that we've got the same Santa Russian dolly thingy!

I seem to recall hotbeds being featured in the Victorian (or was it the Wartime..) Kitchen Garden series.

Whole episodes are on youtube if anyone is interested.

I like chard - for its looks!

My OH might want to marry you Dunc!

I'm married to a vinyl junkie. He's got about 40,000 records - all genres. We used to trawl vide greniers here for him to buy more but those days are long gone. Enough really is enough!

No swallows yet but heard the cuckoo for the first time today.


I heard it then sent my OH up the garden to listen and verify!

None in this part of Brittany yet.

Usually see them around the last weekend in March.

Can I have a "99" please?

Sorry. I'll get me coat...

Seriously, I'm really jealous. Happy camping!

It is a mindfield though Jon. As you mentioned above, how these Brit registered cars with green ins tickets get away with it, I'll never know!

All well and good until there is a claim...
