Had a wonderful weekend in Somerset. Loved the Bishops Palace in Wells and fitted in an afternoon at Montacute House too. I am now (nearly) gardened out. Interesting to see the replacement box hedges at the Bishops Palace - they have used euonymus, and its the best alternative I have seen ….
Thank you for the tip, @chicky, I think our box hedge may have blight.
Sun is shining. I have some daffodils to plant.
Brief appearances of sun this morning, but generally a pretty white sky and agin much wind. We did have a sprinkling of rain last night, but it didn't even touch the sides.
A pleasant day to you all.
I've finally got my patch admin done - finances and application for subsidy are not my strong point - so I'm free to sew and sow and plant bulbs depending on showers. Looks like a wettish week coming up.
Good luck at the dentist @chicky. No box here @Busy-Lizzie. I had a low hedge of it, grown from cuttings, round my front garden raised rose and clematis bed in Belgium and it was fine but, after seeing Monty's and other people struggling with blight and pests I've had no urge to grow any here.
And that reminded me to order my 2022 diary ... I use my iPhone diary for appointments and reminders, and I write them on the calendar in the downstairs loo ... but even tho' I usually have a sketchbook and pencils with me I do like a 'pocket/handbag diary' when I go out (a sort of belt and two pairs of braces approach 🤪 ).
I'm very picky about my diary ... it has to have a pen and gilt edges to the leaves ... I don't know why but it just makes my world a better place ... and because I can't rely on getting the right sort of diary as a present or a freebie from the milkman or whoever, I have to buy my own every year ... so today I have ordered my Collins Classic Diary. It has a black cover, gilt edges to the cream paper, contains tube maps amongst other useful things, and has a pen with it. The perfect diary for less than a tenner ... they used to be available at WH Smiths, but not for the past few years ... and it's amazing how many diaries just don't meet my requirements ... even more expensive ones (did you know you can pay over £300 for a diary? 😲) Now I can relax ... until next year.
