In the bank opposite the garage where the towtruck took the car and myself, primroses in bright bloom/

I know the coloured ones in the garden here have been out a while, but to see the wild ones was a delight.

Dear Marigold, i think wild primrose are one of my favourite flowers, just perfect.....

Glad you have got the car sorted.

Coming back from hospital today with some good news under my belt , Our car was stopped in a lane near our homes by cows being moved down the lane , as we looked to our left the bank was full of snow drops and yellow primroses , look I said to my friend how beutiful.... She replied its natures way of congratulating you.... which was odd as I had been on the Primrose ward

Dear Tigger2shoes, very glad your hospital news was good, what a wonderful feeling that is.....

Thanks! the battle now will be with the landlord to get the driveway properly covered.. these farmers and their mucky lanes! Some days I leave at 4 am for a distant market.. It may well be that getting him ourt of his bed at that time will help; they don't milk here until nearly 10 am.

Meanwhile I am having to start and move the car daily to stop the same happening again, I had not been our for over a week. I did though enjoy the ride in the tow truck! Even more pleasure was my truncated day in Killarney. Beautiful place is Killarney.

Thanks old herb
I also enjoy a ride in a truck or high vehicule if I can get one as the lanes around here are lower then the fields so the headges are so high , you get such a different view if you are high up.

I posted a photo of the primroses on our plot here http://www.kitchengarden.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10292

Indeed so and here in the narrow lanes you dare not take you eyes off the road. This lane has grass growing in the middle.

Well, a working party of three arrived yesterday, tractor, shovels and all. It emerges that there is hardcore under all the mud and grass; it has all been neglected so long of course. They also scraped the middle of the laneway where the grass etc had been scraping the car/They are eager to use weedkiller but no way will that be allowed and they know it.

Gravel is proposed for the lower part of the laneway so I am keeping fingers crossed
