We've got a dusting of snow here, hills are white, but we have bright sunshine just now.
Been gardening for over 65 years and still learning.
Cold but beautifully sunny here today. And the amazing thing is that, although it is so bright, the moon is clearly visible at this very moment (15.30) in the blue sky.
Our grandson with cancer walked up Pendle Hill today, the fifth hill he has achieved in his aim to go walking as much as possible until his operation at the end of January.

Good to hear your grandson is going strong on his target. ~We wish him well
The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

Icy cold but sunny down here in Dorset. Tried to dig out some roots of black bamboo, for transplanting. No chance! Too tough - so had to be content with scraping back the soil and cutting the stems. I've made about a trillion stem cuttings hoping some will take. Or I could just buy a plant - but where's the fun in that.

My thoughts will be with you OH.
Thank you for all your good wishes for my grandson. Yes. he says the walking is doing him good, not only physically to get as fit as possible before the op but it is clearing his head and helping him to face whatever may come. He is an experienced walker (he used to teach climbing and river kayaking) and next week's challenge will be Pen-y-ghent, the smallest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks (about 2,270 feet), but that will depend on the weather. When he was first diagnosed in November, the GP offered him anti-depressants, but all the outdoor activities have certainly avoided him having to take any. If anybody is interested, he is doing a Youtube vlog "Walking with Sarcoma", showing and talking about his walks.
