    Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Brown paper packages tied up with strings
    These are a few of my favorite things
    Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
    Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
    Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
    These are a few of my favorite things
    Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
    Silver white winters that melt into springs
    These are a few of my favorite things
    When the dog bites
    When the bee stings
    When I'm feeling sad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don't feel so bad

Yorkshire Puddings with Gravy. driving on the other side of the road. okay, that'll do. happy Friday, Lewes. and as always, fondest regards from my side of the pond, deb

    Nice thought. An extra Bank Holiday. Makes up for the fact it's a leap year and you all have to work an extra day for nothing.

    Going to work at the moment is pure joy. I walk into my garden and the thrushes are singing even though it's dark. There's large colonies of blue, great. coal and long tail tits in the shrubs and ive seen evidence of baby foxes around.
    The first reticulated iris has flowered and the crocus are on their way. The Sarcococca (christmas box) and mahonia smell devine as does the winter honeysuckle.
    in a few days, the first frogs will descend on the pond and before long, it willl look like a roman orgy !!!!
    So next time anyone has an issue with things posted on here, go and stand outside for a little while and take in the ambience.

    That sounds wonderful. My delight is my new pond, still slowly filling and currently being populated by mud, ants and vertebrae found in local ponds and streams. I can't wait till it has frogs, snakes, dragonflies etc and I can sit by it and dream.

    Broad beans like frost - I hope. I've planted mine.
    One of the vegetables you have to grow yourself to appreciate!
    And noticed today my crocuses have emerged to join the snowdrops, primroses & violets (and a few roses still out from last year!)

    Yes, it's a tad early for broad beans, unless you planted them late last year (October-ish), see link for planting advice. Now to get back onto the "nice thinking" thread (thanks to Paul!!).
    Nice and mild this morning, birdies are singing and the crocuses (?) are springing up everywhere !

    they are in pots and you can always cover them up. Most broad beans are quite hardy, you plant them early to stop blackfly attacking the tender tips.
    Just waiting for pervy pete to spoil the ambiance.
