Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's mild again.
My foraging expedition was informative and fun but the only edibles I foraged were from my DF greenhouse.
Our art group exhibition opens this afternoon so I baked a cake last night after setting up my section.
Quaker Meeting here this morning so I'll need to make a soup for the lunch after.
One of our number, a dear person, is now in terminal care. I have to be the bearer of sad news.
Sorry about your ds Bonny. Did we meet her at one of our meetups in Edinburgh, years ago?
Lovely photos again. Here is mine of "wax caps" and "plums and custard"
Hope everyone has some joy today.
Morning Mick, morning All. Another grey, mild day ahead for our corner of Somerset.
Chores tackled yesterday morning we enjoyed a tasty lunch at our favourite cafe. Added to our battery garden light stash. Mr C wasted no time installing them, it cheered us both to see lights out there last night.
More faffing around today. Mr C has promised to dig out a too vigorous for the space plant as it’s garden waste collection day tomorrow. I’ll supervise - best to avoid the wrong plant disappearing - make up the guest bed and try to turn what has become a dumping ground back into a room.
We’re all worried about you Mick, please do seek advice tomorrow. Pleased to hear your progress holly. You must just be worried bonnybanko 
. Go steadily with that allotment karma, an exciting challenge for you.
Have the best as you can everyone.
Good (late) morning from a grey N Bucks.
Kennel living must have exhausted poor Rosie, she slept through until 9 o clock too!
I second, third and fourth the opinion that Mick should seek advice. Ignoring symptoms is rarely the right thing to do, particularly with a background of bowel illness.
Karma I wish you well with your allotment, may it bring you much joy because it certainly isn’t going to save you any money with the financial outlay you describe! 
We applied for an allotment when we came to the village 40 yeas ago and were offered (but turned down) one without water or storage a good half mile walk out of the village. A very short time after we had a second offer, the large vegetable garden of a council house barely 100 yards up the road, belonging to an elderly lady who had recently lost her keen gardener husband.
Of course there was storage for tools (even some tools themselves!) water, and also even occasional cups of tea and a chat. It was perfect and paw took great pride in producing unusual veg , heritage carrots and quantities of courgettes and beans you couldn’t give away! But the pleasure was in the producing.
I have no plans for today but wish you all a safe and peaceful one with hopes of good news of all who are poorly.
