    I like to crochet, and I'm enjoying restringing necklaces from gemstones, pearls and czech glass beads. Some vintage. This is branch coral, re-strung from a broken necklace and re-designed as a graduated necklace.

    I only shop at a supermarket and a local independent garden centre, prices are very reasonable and I get some lovely plants. I've tried other larger garden centres and the prices are just nowhere near the supermarket prices. OK, so you may get a larger plant for your money, but in a lot of...

    I did lots in the garden yesterday. It was a fabulous day. Raining today! Potted bulbs are a first for me this year. I've really enjoyed them. I've read up on them but it's nice to ask, so could you help me out? I've cut the dead flowers off and left the foilage to die back? Bit can I move...

    Sounds interesting to watch Alberta. Very nice day today. No gardening for me today, I was in Brum, Dudley Road hospital. But the weather was lovely. I bought a pink Camelia today, I have a red one. They are so colorful and cheery. Hopefully you have all had a good day in your gardens.

    Mw0njm, sorry to hear you have been having issues. I've been having problems since October, I went on Monday and I was diagnosed with blepharitis. I was prescribed with medication from January, which helped. What I'm trying to say is hang in there, I know the NHS have their issues, but they...

    Good progress for most people since the last time I tuned in, shame about weather damage, I find that distressing, unfortunately it's unavoidable.

    Ooh, I hope you find out what it is! Raining on and off here, just like yesterday. I'm sure it's early April showers. I will stick to indoor jobs. Luckily I got my car cleaned yesterday, in-between the showers. Looking forward to seeing my bulbs come up that I purchased from the supermarket.
