It helps towards the upkeep too.<br />You will love showing off your lovely home, won't you?<br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-54685492878009915282018-04-13T08:40:52.607+01:002018-04-13T08:40:52.607+01:00I do a lot of 'coffee socialising' as well...I do a lot of 'coffee socialising' as well but usually I am the visitor or we meet in a cafe.

I know it sounds daft but I like to get plants from 'special places' that I have visited, like Hyde Hall, etc. They are more expensive but when I see them each year, I remember the good time. I never need loads anyway, with such a small garden.<br />I love the sound of your projects!<br /><br />J xJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-84951103407802313292018-04-13T07:19:44.499+01:002018-04-13T07:19:44.499+01:00Well, this reasonably-early bird almost caught the...Well, this reasonably-early bird almost caught the worm this morning ... I was up an hour ago when you wrote today's post, Joy, but I was reading comments on my own blog and making coffee, too. <br />Best of luck for the blood test, the day draws ever closer when the offending gall bladder will be removed and you will eventually feel much better. <br />How nice to have a friend around for coffee and a chat. This is always fun, I think. Not a grand occasion but just sharing day to day doings with friends. I hope the weather stays fine and you will be able to minister to your allotment. Husband was in our garden yesterday, continuing the post-winter tidy-up. It was, however, too cold for me, but I opened the summerhouse and we had mugs of Bovril in there, out of the chill wind. We have some plants to go in ... four lupins we bought a few weeks ago in B&Q (excellent plants) and a hellebore. And a new arch to erect and then the fun of choosing a climbing rose to plant close to it. <br />Margaret P<br />www.margaretpowling.com galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.com
