Dull grey start here in north essex.Very windy,and this morning I got up to find the wind in the night had blown my 10ft climbing fuchsia flat to the ground.I am heart brokensad

Oh nannot how depressing. Is it broken right off? If it's just bent you may be able to tie it up again, I have had quite badly damaged plants recover when I've strapped them up. Although I haven't tried a fuchsia.

It's horrible here again today. Mizzley rain and still very windy. We're off to sunny (hopefully) Shropshire early tomorrow for a week in our caravan. Much Wenlock. I'm really looking forward to it as I've not been to that part England before. There seems to be a lot to see and I think we should have planned for longer.

Happy Thursday everyone.

Good morning!

That is sad nannot.

It is another bright sunny day today here in North Leicestershire but I am going to Derby to look after our two eldest GC - that will be lots of trampolining then grin

Enjoy your days everyone! sunshine

Good morning, bright and very breezy here, hope the sun lasts all day. Sad about your fuchsia Nan, and hope it survives. Does anyone have any ideas as to what we might buy my grandson for a graduation gift? Enjoy your days everyone.

Reasonable here in North Devon, but I have woken up to find one side of my face very swollen! sad Just waiting to phone the surgery once they are open

Lovely blue sky here in Manchester - not often I can say that! Fingers crossed for your fuchsia, Nan. If your grandson Printmiss is job hunting or soon starting work, how about if not exactly a briefcase, then an upmarket messenger bag or similar? Students often use decrepit backpacks to tote their stuff around, which may not create the right impression in the workplace.

Heavy clouds and rain at the moment here in N Ireland but the forecast is better for later on. DD`s birthday today so family meal out tonight at local restaurant. Enjoy your day everyone

Yet another glorious, cloudless morning here in Fife - almost too good to be true............

cloudy and very windy here on the South Coast.

Really need to get into the garden as it has grown like mad since the winter rains but I hate the wind.

I am sure your fuchsia will regenerate nannot but so annoying I do agree.

Yes an expensive backpack sounds good for a graduate. My mother bought one for my nephew and he uses it a tremendous amount. Mind you he is still a student as just finishing his MA and will aLmost certainly be applying for a research grant and PHD

Lovely and sunny here, it was rather muggy yesterday but I'm not complaining!
A friend has just phoned and we're meeting for coffee at eleven, so I'd better get a wriggle on!

NfkDumpling do visit Cardingmill valley and Church Stretton if you can! We spend many happy hours there with the littlies and the dog. Gorgeous place.

And drive over Long Mynd! It is quite spectacular! [sunshine[
