What a fantastic picture that is at Cambo Maggi - makes you wonder why we try to grow them in the garden, they are perfect on a bank like that.

Because, more's the pity, I don't have a bank like that in my garden.
Almost in Scotland.

Neither do we Alan but there is a nice (chalky) bank like this in Lorendon Woods nearby which I now include in the compass of our garden! 8) Ralph we are opening for the NGS on Sunday 14th February, 12.00 to 4.00pm - a bit more weeding to do!!

Spring Thing at Monksilver on Saturday March 12th 10am to 4pm

I'm very tempted to go. The air fare is £47 but then I need to hire a car

We are told that all is well for this weekend at Blacksmith's on Sunday which must come as a relief to those who are staying overnight somewhere!

In 2015 the snowdrop day at Blacksmith's Cottage never materialised because the car parking area was too waterlogged.
Almost in Scotland.

What a weekend for Norfolk.  Can't wait. 
Two of the best in Norfolk plant heritage and
Blacksmiths, should be superb.
Better raid my savings accounts.
Have no idea if I'm doing this right Brian!, but my first post.
