I don't know if 'barky ladlie' is a good thing or not, CL. Still, it's lovely to have a bright day. The bulbs will soon be making an appearance. I love Springtime.

You're right, tig, and good gardening weather too. Our shed got blown over in the gales so now upright once more. Thank heavens because I was worried that folk at the allotment wouldn't be able to get past with their barrows and those barrows will be busy soon.perfect walking weather this, before it gets too hot and theres beasties everywhere
I've got some lovely primula on the balcony but the winter pansies are very shy.

What a beautiful day. I had a lovely wander on Byres Road and did a bit of shopping in the wee independents - George Mewes' fabulous cheese shop and Rogers butchers. Then checked out the new show shop. I also had a nice coffee and blether outside The Chip. Isn't it a lovely day.

Meant to say shoe not show. It's where Sandalwood was. I've forgotten the name. Nice but expensive. If you see the name remind me please, lynnski.

Well as usual this time of year is pretty dramatic weather wise in this part of the world. We had 4 days a week ago of 35 degrees followed by the dumpimg of a quarter of our average yearly rainfall over the next week so many towns in Victoria are flooded now. The sun made an appearance today so all is better with me now! I am wimpy Aussie and can't cope with more than a few days of incessant rain. The mud! The dampness! I'm over it

A few days rain and you're in trouble. Try four months, Gayle. Anyway we definitely appreciate the glimmer of sunshine we've seen this week-end.Well as usual this time of year is pretty dramatic weather wise in this part of the world.
