A mixture of sunshine,hail and rain again here today,not a day for a stroll so I am cabined up. At least I managed a trip to town yesterday for pipe fodder and a trip to the butchers. I spied something in there I hadn't had in many a year,Barnsley chops. They are a sort of double lamb loin chop,larger than the normal loin and very tasty,we have just polished a couple off for dinner.
More colour in the tubs,this is just one of around 15 Croci popping through.

There is a choice of plurals for Crocus, Croci or Crocuses in case you think I got it wrong They should make a good show in a little while. The tubs are proving a success at this early stage so I am hopeful of plenty of colour as the year goes on.
