Really relaxing Philip - got the music going in the background right now!
The weather here has gotten colder again, around 0C with a very nasty wind going so with the chill factor it feels more like -3C. Can't believe it was so warm on the weekend.
I forgot to mention that I planted three new bare root roses last Friday (Madame Anisette, Alexandrine and Paul Ricard). Not something I would normally do in February but I suppose the nursery thought that seeing as the weather was so mild they would ship earlier than the stated first week of March! I was rather surprised when I got the message to say the least. Thank goodness the weather played along and the ground wasn't frozen. Piled them up with a whole lot of compost and covered the lot with burlap.
And the best of all about the delivery was that it also had my new leather pruning gloves (gauntlets). 'Gold Leaf Tough Touch' and boy are they wonderful!!! Never had anything like them - no more bleeding scratches or pricks for me this pruning season!
