I've received a few messages asking to continue the 1000 words thread. It has obviously given many people pleasure and some positivity. For anyone who doesn't know, posters come on with their photographs of pretty much anything and we take it from there. Nature is always a good one.

Australian echidnas -thanks nanny8! New to me. What a tonic all these photos are.

Wonderful old trees in a nearby National Trust garden. Caught this dainty-flowered magnolia before today’s snow (must have browned all the flowers now)

Greyduster Paul Hollywood tells you to put them in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. Apparently that gives an even rise, though one or two are a bit wonky!

Ooh my goodness! I have scone envy! How d’you get them to rise like that?

Some very strange weather today. Sunshine and bright blue skies, mingled in with snow flurries and a bitter wind.

Ellianne Sat 10-Apr-21 15:08:12

Cold today, but a sense of calm.
Certainly no signs of lots of day visitors.

Lovely collage Lisagran. Were these all from your garden?

Yes, all in the garden - in pots. Only a small garden, but I pack stuff in! (This pic from last year)

More wind bent daffs confined to a vase, along with some hellebores. However, the next day the hellebores had wilted considerably. Does anyone know if this is the norm? I have never used them as a cut flower before.

Ellianne Mon 05-Apr-21 11:01:11

So pretty. Pink will always be my favourite colour.

These guys lived in my GDs bedroom over the school holidays during lockdown.
