Good luck with the impending arrival Christie, as a grandfather to 3 I miss them terribly. When I see them on skype they just seem to have grown so big.

[Snoop Puss]

Best wishes, Chrissy.

Morning
A little overcast but that's ok for what I'm on with in the garden, weeding and changing things around ..
Also want to have a go at some clematis cuttings.

Need to hunt out the binoculars, i'm sure I saw the spotted flycatcher yesterday. Always nice childhood memories as we had one nest every yr in the garden.
Have also seen the goldfinches , lovely colours.
On with the day . Have a good one everyone

As for the youngsters, by far the majority of people I see out are 50+.
Too easy to just say "the youngsters". Lets blame them, it makes it easy.

I don't think anyone is blaming as such. The point I was trying to make was that perhaps it takes different methods for the message to really hit home with different age groups. A bit like Churches, the traditional v's the more modern. Different people relate to different styles.

Where I live there are still groups of youths hanging about and there are still young kids playing out on bikes etc so I commented on what the bigger problem was as I saw it. The youths just are not relating and they need to be reached via other messages than just save the NHS.

I accept it may well be a different picture elsewhere.

Sadly alot of 50+ are caring for parents too.
Friend of ours has to see his sister with dementia as she has bad episodes of sun downing.

Shipton Mills are still taking and sending orders out. They release a delivery slots when they catch up with the orders.

Yeah they were one of the ones I checked out, along with Bakery Bits. The Shipton Mill flours look really interesting, maybe when things settle down I might try some.

I do think the attitude has to change towards people. They are not stupid and seem to get treated as if everyone is.

Ha! Ha! Ha! There's lots of total idiots out there and they are stupid. But hey their opinion is as good as anyone else's!

Thank you CG - my back is hurting a bit after standing at my potting table and sowing umpteen seeds today! Leeks (giant ones from the seed circle), cauliflower, kailaan, all types of cukes - I think 7 types in the end, onion (from seed circle), spring onion (from seed circle), lettuce mix for picking leaves (I made my own mix out of red-leaved, mesclun, rocket, curly leaf salad and lambs lettuce), fennel... I'm sure there was more. Tried to go shopping, but it was closed, tried to pick up an order from B&Q but it was closed... best try again tomorrow lol

Hope youve recovered after yesterday SarrissUK .

Just ventured to the GH 0.3 last night . Due frost tonight but nothing delicate in there yet anyway.
Bitter wind , hopefully when the sun appears it will warm things a bit.
Probably more pricking out /potting on today.
Have a lovely day

It was a lovely day here yesterday, I had fun sowing some more salad veg and some hardy annuals in pots so I can plant them out for an early show.

About 5-ish out of nowhere a gale sprang up and we had to grab our washing in and rush inside. It was very strange, from calm and sunny to cold and swirling gusts in about two minutes.

Thereafter we could see people out for their daily walk hurrying past the house in a rush, as they were dressed, not unreasonably, for a nice day.

Oh no! Not more Carry On films, they're driving me nuts. I'm almost glad I have to work tomorrow, almost

So it was you that sent that weather here then last night
