Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024

Good morning all.

If I look like an early riser I'm not really. I'm in France and it's an hour ahead of the UK. Hello @redstar thank you for starting this thread all those years ago. As you are in the USA it probably isn't morning for you. I saw @PatE from Australia has just joined.

I slept very well last night, after 2 bad nights because of travelling and a bad back. Back is a lot better too. Did it while gardening. There is a lot of gardening to do at my French home, roses to plant too. It's been very wet here this winter, like in the UK.

The fatball bird feeders are full of blue tits. I left 2 big boxes with my handyman when we went to England in January and they've all gone. We got back to France on Thursday.

 

@Busy-Lizzie I had a text from my sister yesterday around lunchtime as she and her OH were just passing Chalon on their way to Lyon for the rugby today. She sent pictures and the weather looked quite nice. Not brilliant at French geography and I am not sure where your home is but hope the decent weather gets to you soon.

 

Good morning everyone! It looks a fine day here on the border of Cambs/Norfolk for pottering around the garden, getting lost in pleasant gardening thoughts. I'm looking forward to getting 'in front' for a change, the weather's been either too wet or cold to do too much, and when there has been opportunities, I've had to be elsewhere.

I'm in awe of the kind Members and Administrators on Gardeners Corner for welcoming such an influx from GW. I believe most 'refugees' from GW want nothing else but to blend in and positively contribute. How should we help those GW peeps who feel overawed with learning how GC's forum ticks? No one should be left behind, unless it's what they want.

It's said that 'The best software is the one that we know'!

 

Thank you @Fat Controller , that's kind of you. I think all the photos that I've ever posted on GW are on my Laptop.

Is there a thread for photos of your gardens?

 

Morning all. It is going to be a warm one here in Algarve, going to 23c. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

You can put your own garden up here ...

Good morning everyone.

Thanks for the helpful advice @Fat Controller.

An exciting day for you @Dovefromabove, I hope your new car is easy to get used to.
It’s turned into a bright, sunny morning here, after a touch of frost - I hope that hasn’t caught anyone out. I have to say how pretty my borders and my neighbours borders are looking with all the beautiful spring flowers on show or almost on show, and they seem so vibrant against the blue sky.

Well, I’d better get on, my tea needs drinking and breakfast is calling.

 

Good morning to all. The sun is shining and the sky is blue, the garden beckons! Hope you all have a good day.

 

Also in 'Members Gallery e.g. I started a thread where I record big changes to my garden. I called it Mike's evolving garden (I didn't want my posts to get 'lost' among other ones - not that I think the other ones are unimportant but I thought it would be better for me personally to keep mine all together, for my own benefit)
Also @Victoria has a thread called An Algarve garden, and there are others as well.

I also put photos in the other threads such as What's looking good in whatever month it is, and there's a thread called cacti and succulents which I often post photos on.
etc .

Just to say as well, I don't do much chatting so you won't find me on this thread often, or the other 'chatty' ones ... because I'm a miserable bug*er

 

Thank you, @Fat Controller @JWK and @Victoria - you're all so helpful, and I'm beginning to feel much more at home here.

 

Thank you @Fat Controller for your lovely response. Hope you don't mind, I've copied it to the GW forum..... NO MAN OR WOMAN SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND

 

OK Busy, Dove et al, PatE's long suffering hubby here as it seems we need to undertake a training session before she is let loose on the pageLooks like a busy night coming up but at least we have moved her across to this site.
