It's inherently dangerous territory even before we make inroads as I'm right handed and he's left handed :) Then he fills areas that I've declared as mine etc, etc....

I look look forward to reading more about your snowdrops :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-54843902237986597152015-01-01T15:37:16.810+00:002015-01-01T15:37:16.810+00:00Yes I am most fortunate Annette and try not to for...Yes I am most fortunate Annette and try not to forget it.

I sometimes sneak a piece into one of the Golfer's, but have just ordered myself one of the bookshop jigsaws you showed us last year as I couldn't interest him in that one for himself! Interesting to hear about your snowdrops and how they are doing - I too have been doing a bit of an assessment which i shall probably write about shortly, and yes, I can feel that desire tugging....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-69851325049411449272014-12-31T10:57:32.799+00:002014-12-31T10:57:32.799+00:00Seems you've had the perfect christmas, Anna. ...Seems you've had the perfect christmas, Anna.

I had some snowdrop foliage appear just before Christmas, but it is now buried under a foot of snow!

I also ventilate the greenhouse most days and the pots only come in for the winter. I can understand your reluctance to grow such treasures. Oddly enough the squirrels leave snowdrops planted in the garden alone but then I do not have a Ptomely on the loose:) Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-85030369380151272192014-12-30T11:15:05.677+00:002014-12-30T11:15:05.677+00:00Yes it could well be Brian - all most perturbing a...Yes it could well be Brian - all most perturbing and topsy-turvy to say the least.

Glad the batteries are properly recharged. Is your greenhouse unheated if you are growing snowdrops in it?

I can't say that I can smell snow before it arrives but we were out for a walk on Boxing Day and it was mighty cold so I wasn't surprised when the snow fell later that day. It's a long time since I've done a jigsaw but we've got a few kicking around the house, I may just dig one out and get cracking while we're all still at home this week.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
