Morning all.

Glad things are perking up for you Lottie

It's lovely and sunny, but as my garden faces north and is in deep shade (the sun doesn't touch down on any part of the ground until the very end of March) I shall not be out there today. The front is sunny, but that's mostly grass and bulbs so no work needs doing there yet. I envy all you lucky people who have the sun in your back gardens on a sunny day like today.

Good morning all. We have rain, wind, thunder and lightning this morning.
It can't get any worse so on with the shoe.
Have a good day all.

Mornin n’alln’all
I’d try and send you some sunshine MH. Thing is, we don’t seem to have any today!

I woke up to the scent of bread baking. OH had intended to do some today but got carried away…spending 6 hrs baking
Looks like we’re sorted for the next few days at least!

More gardening for me once we’ve had brunch of home smoked bacon and freshly home baked bread. Yummy yum.

Lottie!…a new man?… how wonderful - he’s going to be the best medicine ever

CG - great link there- I’ve always struggled with scissors…good ol’ Jamie. I’ll certainly be trying it that way. I’d given up previously as it was just too much faff.

Talking of food- I best make my contribution to brunch- even if it’s only making a brew!
Enjoy your day peeps. I wondered why the smiles were so chirpy this morning- clearly heading in Lotties direction!

Help yourselves
Our neighbour had already taken one baguette before OH managed to take the photo!

CG, thanks very much for that link. It makes it look so easy. I'm quite handy with both meat cleavers and knives. I once worked in a butchers for a few months but I've never spatchcocked a chicken.

I just stopped myself ordering some poultry shears this morning from Dunelm as just before clicking "Buy" I realised that the handles looked suspiciously as if they were shaped for a right hander. I'm very left handed.

[greenishfing]

Nicos, that bread looks absolutely amazing.

[Nicos]

Tastes it too gf!
Who would have believed I am actually trying…yet again..to kick start my low carb diet

[Nicos]

I’ve just been playing with sandstone paving slabs trying to create steps onto the lawn from the patio , and work out which pieces of cutoffs can be jigsawed together to go underneath my garden sink ( yet to be fitted) so any overflow flows away from the house.
Blinking heck they are heavy to lug around!

[greenishfing]

I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. The vacuum cleaner has been earning its keep. Where does all the muck come from? Well, actually, most of it isn't muck. It's crumbs, tiny bits of pastry, etc, that fall off Mr. GF's clothes when he stands up.

I took the two full bags of raspberries out of the freezer earlier and I've made some more jam. We are on our last jar from the last batch, and also having looked at my online shopping list, that is being delivered on Tuesday, I realised I ought to free up some more freezer space before it arrives.

Nicos, I'll swap you a jar of jam for one of your loaves.

[Nicos]

Your jam sounds delish!….so, yes please!

Good afternoon, its nice and sunny today, so after church I decided to go out to the greenhouse for a wee while,, where I took cuttings from some fuchsia, I hope to make three or four standards with some of them, I then sowed some lettuce,had a walk round the garden to see whats moving,still got my roses to prune but will wait till overnight temperatures are a bit higher and more settled, also noticed a coup!e of bumble bees moving about the flowers, fortunately with some daffodils and hyacinth in flower there was some nectar for them, will need to see about getting more early flowering plants around the garden.
Nice to see things are improving for you LD so wishing you well, and hope the weather improves for you bramble and as its a change of kitchen sink remember a change is as good as a rest well enjoy the remainder of the day Folks and go and find something to smile about then pass it on
