Things That Gladden The Heart

[Foxholer]

Is that what they are? I don't like them as they're all stringy leaves and not much flower. Should I pull the bulbs up?

Just googled how they spread...I'll be removing today

It can take years to actually eliminate them! Better, imo, to simply 'restrict' them and avoid the frustration of failure to eliminate imo. They can/do brighten up open soil areas under shrubs though, so, for me, not true 'weeds' like some. A hoe is probably the best and simplest tool to keep them 'under control', but better to appreciate their prettiness than get frustrated with disliking them.

After two years of not being in church for Easter Day it was lovely to be there today, in the choir singing glorious hymns and to finish with the choir singing - unrehearsed - Handels’s Hallelujah Chorus - with our Victorian church organ thundering it out with us. Magnificent.

it’s been nice sitting outside the caravan listening to the church bells ringing this morning

A wander into the village for the Easter parade, then lunch outside our fav bar. And then…34*C in the sun

@Hobbit

Do you have the water unheated in that? Surely it would be too warm to have a hot tub in 34c?

The hot tub is set to 32*C, and is used at least 10 months of the year - great massage with the jets and blowers on. Sadly at least 10 paces from the beer fridge.

Poor planning.....

The ball marker on your hat (a la LPGA) is a nice touch

@bobmac - all gone. Got most of the bulbs out and made sure no purple grapes around. I doubt it will spread as much as the couch grass but thanks for the heads up.

Spoke to the wife of a past captain who was in recently for second operation for cancer. Apparently the surgery went well and awaiting the biopsy results but he is up and back home and hopefully going to play soon. He's a bit nervous about being out at the moment with his immune system compromised and the high infection rates but it will be good to see him when he does come back. Been a tough fight. Almost as hard as being a Newcastle fan as he is

The result today will have put a smile on his face!

We're flying out tomorrow for 3 weeks.
Hope you have slightly more clothes on if we meet you in Solare ...

Beautiful day out, shorts out.. nice hour long walk so these two could have a decent nap as they wake themselves up ATM.

Got to love nice weather

Jordan Spieth - should be used as a template as to how to conduct yourself around fans etc at the end of the round

Late afternoon yesterday watching a dozen (at least) excited and very enthusiastic junior academy members - most under 10yrs old - head off up the 1st with two of our Ass Pros to play to the 1st green. Great stuff.

You're welcome. You might want to try some Alstroemeria, beautiful and flowers for months

Watch out for their return next - and subsequent - years though! Hardy and persistent!

After a couple of years off, we hosted our annual Easter Party on Sunday, it forced me to sort the garden, the kids had a great time, and both the climbing frame and trampoline I installed during lockdown are still operational.
