Morning, bright and fresh today. I am off out with the boss so I had better be on my best behaviour 
Clear and a bit parky 'ere, the sun is up there thinking about getting out of bed but it's a bit early from 'im and he keeps pulling up the bedclothes and going back to sleep.
Have a good day folks, whether it be tuesday or Tuesday.

Was thinkin the same myself, Daffs are all out and the sun is shining, ordering plants from local scout group as we speak
My Camellia is looking good although the frost has got to some of the flowers. It is a real promise of Spring.
Yes it looks lovely, its a shame that a hard frost now would ruin it.My Camellia is looking good although the frost has got to some of the flowers. It is a real promise of Spring.

I agree although it has done well so far after three nights of frost. I can never understand why it chooses to come into flower so early.Yes it looks lovely, its a shame that a hard frost now would ruin it.
Ten liks to 20k.

A few more welcome Spring delights -
Another Camellia which was a cutting from the other one about 5 yrs ago.
Living in harmony are the Cowslips and the Primroses
And some Pulmonaria.
The Lenten Helleborus are enjoying the shelter of the 'Hedgehog' Holly bush.
This is a delightful winter-flowering Heather which tumbles down the edge from the upper to the lower level of the garden.
The whole garden is very much planted with Evergreens so that it does not look 'dead' during the winter when the Oak trees have shed their leaves

Lovely indeed. There seems to be a shaggy carpet walking into some of the shots.
Sitting there is more accurate! Wherever I am - he is.Lovely indeed. There seems to be a shaggy carpet walking into some of the shots.
You might see that much of the planted areas are covered in plant shreddings/mulch to try to keep the wet soil from sticking to him and then being transfered inside the bungalow. The other one is not far away but then he is always outside, with or without me.
Good to see the papers reporting that the UK will seek to get 25% of electricity from new Nuclear power stations and that this will be a mix of both large and small installations.
If recent events have brought the energy self-sufficiency and security question into focus that's a good thing. Successive government have been kicking this issue into the long grass for too long.
A flagrant dereliction of duty in my opinion.

I saw somewhere that Rolls Royce were looking at "pocket nuke stations"?

Yes, they are in a consortium and selling Small Modular reactors as a concept.
When you think that a tiny reactor like on a Yank carrier has enough juice to power a small city then smaller distributed reactors all over the UK isn't a bad concept.
Lose 1 at a time for regular maintenance is a lot less of an impact than taking out one of the GigaWatt Nuclear reactor sites.
