David,
I'm making a four day trip in the UK from Thursday onwards (Wisley - Pershore - Ashwood nurseries - Aberconwy - etc... ) I hope you're saving some sunshine for then...  ;D ;D

Have a magnificent tour, Luc ... please pass on my best regards to Keith, Rachel and Tim at Aberconwy (only saw them on Saturday at Southport Show, but never mind  :D) ... please remember to bring at least two huge empty cases with you.   ;D

Not a good forecast Luc, you could get heavy showers most days but you might just get lucky and miss them. We are visiting friends in Norwich from Thursday onwards so it's certain to be pretty poor in Eastern England and it wouldn't surprise us if the sun was 'cracking the flags' here in the South West. Now, that's a new phrase for you!

Thanks Cliff !
Don't worry about the empty cases... everything is taken care off..  ;D ;D
I'll definitely bring your message to the Levers !
Too bad Lancashire is not exactly "on route..."   ;)

David,
If I see any "suncracked" flags I'll let you know..  ;D
Thanks for the new expression - I'm always eager to learn ! :D

Yeah, yeah.... you mean the child is being used as an excuse for you and Sue to have a bucket and spade holiday? I get it!  ;)

Just to complete your education Luc, it's very much a Northern England expression, maybe just Yorkshire. It comes from the days when in the industrial parts of the North there was row after row of houses in terraces all without gardens and the frontages of the houses were paved with millstone grit paving slabs (flag stones-flags).

Have a great trip Luc and may your only problem be how to get all your new plants in the car boot.

Just catching up. We had very bad hail two weeks ago. In my garden it destroyed all the tulips, Trilliums and Hostas. The latter two had their leaves shredded
