In case anyone is interested I have scanned the article from COUNTRY LIVING about the Garden House.  I am not an expert scanner but it is readable and up the right way!  If anyone wants me to mail them a copy please PM me with an email address.

Thick snow & icy roads today down my country lane - not worth going out of the door except to feed the birds.  I always resort to baking in this sort of weather and am now going to make a start on one of my favourites - Delia Smith's Ultimate Carrot Cake with Mascarpone & Fromage Frais topping and infused with an orange & lemon syrup - yum

In my book that is expert enough!  The birds are getting through a feeder and a half of sunflower hearts and three quarters of a feeder of peanuts a day here so whatever else they get their breakfast after us or I would feel guilty.  Send us a slice of cake it sounds lovely

Anything unusual in your garden, Brian

Anything unusual in your garden, Brian

Yes, snow. 


Nothing in the way of unusual birds, just the normal tits, goldfinches by the dozen, robins, doves and pigeons, the woodpeckers seem to have disappeared, I thought they would have been on the peanuts.

I have scanned the Country Life 4 page article on yellow snowdrops. If anyone would like a copy please PM me with an email address. It's about 2.4M in size. I can send in two emails if one would be too big. Please let me know.

After just over two weeks of freezing nights and barely thawing days, we may have temperatures above freezing tuesday. Seems we are all sharing the cold in the Northern hemisphere.

 Edit by maggi: Jim has kindly sent me  the files and I have combined them into one at  1.2 MB file

[KentGardener]

Many thanks for sending the scan Jim (and also Jennie).

Much needed reading on delayed UK train journeys at the moment.

[Maggi Young]

Thanks Jim!

I've made a smaller file and sent it to Jim so a single 1.2Mb file can be sent

I saw this yesterday evening and was a bit shocked. I though the snowdrop boys were against selling snowdrops on Ebay and didnt agree with what Joe was doing.

Have I made a label mistake? I have a Fly Fishing and a Gone Fishing
