        What cats always think. "Is it worth getting up to see whether there's food or something to chase? Or do I just have a sleep?"

          Or "is there any plants I can walk on or knock over in there?" All 3 think that when they come through the window.. I'm sure!
          Nipped to tesco for coffee and tea yesterday, was very well behaved and only came out with a red hot poker and a peony. 1457178243394-122620693.jpg

                    Hi @BeeHappy, I don't think my wife would have been to impressed if I'd have come back without the duck.
                    Will try and do some cuttings it hasn't got PBR on it. It was only £12.00

                      No photo (as yet) but today, in Morri's, I bought:

                      1x clematis "Voluceau" - £1.77
                      1x Escallonia "Apple Blossom" - £2
                      1x Escallonia "Donard Seedling" - £2

                      I had E. Apple Blossom in one of my previous gardens and I loved it. Then, the year before we moved, I bought E. Apple Blossom and E. Donard Seedling which I planted but never got to take any cuttings. So, I'm thrilled to bits with today's purchases.

                            I was a bit bored as it was pishing down but not hard enough to deter me from a drive-by nursery hit and bought:

                            A few Polemonium Caeruleum
                            A few Ajuga reptans Chocolate Chip for newish rockeryish bit I'm doing
                            A few Erysimum Fragrant Sunshine - not needed but seemed so cheery looking on a dreary day
                            Dianthus Stargazer and Dianthus Arctic Star for alpine sink

                            :whistle:

                                I bought this Sinningia (Gloxinia) from Lidl the other weekend for £1.49 or £1.99. It was a bit dry and limp but it has recovered well................
