And Xmas Greetings from sunny Normandy!

My 5 flowers....
Red rose, yellow rose, Xmas rose (hellebore), daisy!....and the sad remnants of a red geranium.

Rosemary, Hebes X 2, hellebores foetidus (flowering away merrily in a wheelbarrow!), Leucanthamum vulgaris, and one very bedraggled chrysanthemum flower. Lovely fresh air outside, smell of pigs in blankets inside....

Happy Christmas all, outside, there's a couple of very sad looking roses, red and pink Schizostylis in the greenhouse ...that's all I can manage - but they did ask me to say Merry Christmas in reply to you

ONe nasturtium still alive... hebes got some flowers - that's about it - but merry xmas from them non-the-less

Got a no doubt overpriced 'wacky tomato kit' from daughter - luckily I've only grown 'Black Russian' before so the others are new to me (I think)

Merry Christmas from my garden flowers.
I didn't intend to pick them .............but I'm very weak-willed.



Calendula (seeds from Farendwoman), Vinca, Honesty flowers and seedheads, Pineapple sage and there were daisies and fuchsias that I left in peace.
Its a lovely sunshiny day.

Happy Christmas all!
Got a Charles Dowding book, an allotment shirt and a bittle of gin! :-)

Hope all is well for all the grapes!

Sorry, didn't mention the pressies. Mr Snoop has got me a waffle iron. I gave him a Leica slide projector, I think from the 1950s. I haven't seen his present (he ordered it and has stashed it away for future use) and I haven't seen mine either, as it hasn't yet arrived. Told the neighbours down the valley and they've already invited themselves round for waffles. I'd better have a few practice goes first...

Just been for a walk on the beach - was lovely to feel a bit of warmth from the sun on my skin - feels like the first decent day's weather in ages....

[Snadger]

Bah humbug! (I actually got a packet of those)

Starting my Crimbo computing with my new Chromebook that the missus got me. Its a shame that sodding advert at the bottom of the page is still taking up a quarter of the screen.
Takes a bit of getting used to, especially with oh,s 60,s cd.s playing on her new cd player.(haven,r figured out how to get the caps lock yet.

Hope santa,s been good to you all and merry christmas.

[happyhumph]

Going to take our dog out soon - need to work out which present from my parents is his Christmas jumper!!

[nickdub]

Got back from Ross and noticed some bees flying in and out of their hive - v mild and sunny here :-)

Well my very own Father Christmas also bought me a bottle of gin so I get to be very merry.

My 5 flowers are white and purple dead nettles, sea thrift, clematis freckles, winter honey suckle, the last place is a toss up between the valerian which is hanging on and the red rose buds that don't seem like they will ever open any further.

Hope you are all having a lovely day, whatever you are up to.
