The Retirement Thread

[Chief Broom]

Hope they're something decent. Nice eating apples or Victoria plums? My dad loved experimenting with his apple trees and had some that had two or three different varieties on one tree as he grafted different ones on.

Morning Mo, theres 2 apple trees, 1 pear and 2 supposedly dwarf hazels. The hazels will have to go as there isnt the space for them. Quite a few pots of herbs- sage, parsley, thyme etc and a bay tree bush which will come in handy. A small garden but has potential
* Think i'll grow a few climbing roses like Dublin Bay which i had in my last garden

A quick good morning.
It has been lashing down all yesterday, overnight and is still at it**. Never seen the garden flooded like it is, makes you realise how vulnerable we are.
**and the wind of course.
Fortunately no reason to wander out today.

Failed miserably on the quordle, didn't even get the first word.

The first word was a real pain. I had seven choices and six goes. Failed. It is a word but I wasn't pleased to see it's use.

@Dave7 how did the family celebrations go? Everyone have fun?

The sun is coming in so I have angled the blinds so it's on Molly's bed so she is curled up happily. 🐱

M6 closed junction 27/28
M60 closed junction 10/11
M65/61 intersection crash and chaos
A6 London Road, Preston tree fallen

Probably best to stay indoors......

We'll be through the named storm alphabet before long!

We are currently quite far from home, Suffolk, near Ipswich, in our motorhome. There has been a howling gale blowing all night. The annoying thing is, looking on our security camera, at home, it is calm and sunny!

Fantastic, thanks Paul.
Food was excellent (everyone got stuck in). Staff were good.
Everyone came back here and stayed till 2100ish.

Back from my walk. I had to change my route as it was already getting slippy at the foot of the hill climb so changed my mind and went a different way. It wasn't slippy but the track was running like a river so got my feet soaked through instead as I only had trainers on.

Too early for brekkie yet so a cuppa to keep me going.

Have you got any flexible spikes?
