Hello Frank. I have grown Carolus for the last 2 years and I shall this year. It is a good cropper and a good keeper. It is a good all-rounder with blight resistance. We shall be having some with dinner this evening

I was looking at buying a few potato setts and came across a variety Carolus, I have not heard of them or know anyone who has tried these, they get a good write up in T&Ms catalogue. Has anybody grown these? if so what is the verdict bearing in mind I only grow in containers now. I would be interested to hear what the panel think.

Did the ironing this afternoon,changed the bed and washed the bed linen. I was going to dig my bean trench but too cold to be pleasurable but there were two pied wagtails on… -

Hello dearest friends, the rain/sleet is on now and it’s going to be freezing tonight. Found almost £55.00 in coins around the house which is going to be used for buying this year’s plants and spuds. Ordered the spuds and onion sets today just need to order my 500 plugs now. Happy Shopping Goldfish…lol

Where are those path sweepers, earth excavator/wrigglers, seed sowers and intrepid early buzzers? I spotted an enormous furry bumble bee on the Winter Honeysuckle again yesterday, but it buzzed off before I could get out my camera! So be prepared and please…[Read more] -

Morning clickers. An icy start here today but there is a beautifully blue sky to enjoy. Don’t know whether to nip over the plot or continue with the decorating in the living room…will decide after another cup of tea. Had an appointment to see the special needs coordinator at Finn’s school yesterday morning re his dyslexia and she was…[Read more]

Morning Jenn
good to hear you’re hopeful of good support for Finn I’m sure the tea will help with your decision-making Enjoy the day -
Morning Jane. I think the tea is a means of delaying the decision
. Could quite happily cosy up under a blanket with my book and not get anything done today. Have been averaging about 5 hours sleep this past couple of weeks and it’s staring to wear me down 
Yes, we were pleased with yesterday’s meeting. He has been…[Read more]-
Having this information will give you a lot more confidence in ‘the system’. We should all remember that we’re all on the same spectrum, just at different points of it, whatever it is that’s being looked at
-
Hi Jenn. That is most encouraging news with the new teacher, I hope it all goes well for Finn.
I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling exhausted with broken sleep, I was beginning to think I had something awful! The full moon is on the wane now so perhaps sleep will be better
-

Good
… and good day Jenn -
Morning Anne – it’s a bit nippy out there – stay cosy
I think I may take my own advice -
I have just read your reply to Jane and was impressed by your new teacher’s grip on the situation re Finn … and coping mechanisms to process and organise his ideas is good
All the best Jenn, and yes, you get yourself some relaxation too

Morning Clickers, it’s bloomin freezing AND we have snow.
so my usual swim is on hold until I see what the roads are like. 
we will be going to pick up the OH’s car either this afternoon or tomorrow morning, deep sighs of relief. Have a good day and stay warm. -
Well thank goodness for you for that Karen

Morning Karen
decision made by OH then Gawd, snow! Don’t envy you that one bit and hope it doesn’t stop your swim for too long. Just been for a cold walk but it was nice to be outside for a bit. The whites of the snowdrops are peeking through today – good to see. Hope you have a good day, weather permitting -
Aye, a decision at last Jane. H’e buying out the car he had through the company. He had it from new 3 years ago, so at least he knows the history, likes the car and it already has a tower which he needs for a trailer, so all good. Just walked out onto our wee road and it’s like a bottle, so it’s anchor down for a while. Might go for a walk…[Read more]

Sounds sensible on the car, Karen
I think Plan B is to put more coffee on -

Morning clickers
heard rain in the night and the owl at about 5 o’clock. Not only do I have no Plan B today, I don’t really have a Plan A either Must be something to do with that wolf moon so close to the house Have a good day everyone -
Good morning Jane. You are just trying to make me jealous with your owl
That moon is something else, it was almost too bright to look at this morning when I fetched the cameras in. Plan A skipping perhaps, keeping warm will be Plan B I expect. -
Morning girls, making all of us jealous Cilla.
My plans have just been kiboshed as we have snow! and it’s still falling. 
Eeeek. Stay warm both.

The naughty deer keep breaking down the walls when they jump in to the woods!
Naked trees are so attractive against the incredibly blue sky.
