Got most of it done its now chucking it down.
Looks like we are in for some bad weather the next few days wind/heavy rain.

Just had hailstones with the rain and wind here.

You keep the Emma,I dont want my wee plants get battered lol

Hello all

lol Emma. The flowers are indeed cyclamen. They grow like weeds here. All ours are self-seeded.

It is rather frustrating gardening here: no matter how harshly you prune things, or when, they spring back into life.

We have a small tree (at the moment) in the front garden which we need to remove before it becomes a big tree. Cut it down to ground level and it is now beginning to sprout again. So it will have to come out roots and all.

Conversely, we have a Curry-Leaf tree and wanted to grow some more. Sowed seeds when they appeared, took cuttings. Everything failed! Then one day we were tidying up just under the tree and noticed several little ones growing: the tree had self seeded :0))

Good morning all. I'm in windy and cold Sussex too, Dolly, and I think your little cat has the right idea. Just looked at my thermostat and it's 15c as you say - I'm so tempted to put the heating on, but I know his lordship won't allow it - put another sweater on, he'll say :-(

Morning Barbra, Allan,Marion and all. Winds are getting
stronger and rain so usual spring day here in Aberdeen.
Waiting for district nurse to come and remove clips from
knee so I can feel easier.Have a great day all, remember
there is nothing wrong with the day it's the weather.lolx

Emmax :D

Hi Wend, my OH would put the heating on even when we don't really need it, its usually me that says put a sweater on and stop walking around in a t shirt lol.
I feel the heat indoors and like the windows open, but I then get told off because theres a draught!!
Can't win lol

hi Emma if you look in hope the nurse came to your house & removed the clips . x and you are more comfortable .the sun shinning at the moment but really windy , bird table blown over . ~~##All se e .you tomorrow Barbra

Hi Barbra well still waiting, nurse did turn up (lunch time)
but had nothing to remove clips with!! asked if I got anything
from hospital to remove them, if I had I would have removed them myself.
