When we had the wall removed (see previous post) we had to have a radiator moved.........while doing that the plumber looked at our boiler and discovered that it was in pretty bad shape! As you can see above it looked like some weird rock formation going on inside it. Poor thing is.....or rather was.......21 years old!
Although not in the original renovation plans we took the decision to have it replaced.............so, my studio has looked like this for the last 2 days......the boiler lives in the corner...........will I ever get back in there!!!!??LOL
So, having spent all of yesterday sitting on the sofa I couldn't face another day of that so I headed into the garden. As we all know the weather has been very mild recently.......... (for which I've been glad the last 2 days with no central heating......I do have a gas fire but that's another story......it's in nearly as bad a state as the boiler :( .............
................ I was surprised how many bulbs are coming up..........I just hope that if there is a frost that they don't get nipped...................the ones above are Fritillaria Persica........not grown them before so I hope they survive.
These are..............can't remember! They came free with a bulb order............whatever they are there's lots of them!!
Here are some Aliums peeping out from under some Foxgloves......I'm hoping they will look good together!
And these I THINK are English Bluebells!
Next I decided to get some leaves out of the pond..............and out came this very sleepy frog......put him back quickly so he could go back to sleep!

snap with the boiler troubles - except ours was over THIRTY years old and gave up of its own accord just before Christmas, leaving us without heating or hot water for 2 weeks - not much fun!
all sorted now though :)
hope you get back into your craft room soon!
fingers crossed there's not a frost! We've got bulbs coming up too!!
All will be back to normal soon Sue, plenty going on in the natural world in your garden though !
Yikes, it's one thing after another! Love the pics of your burgeoning garden - hope it stays mild, it would be such a shame if they all got hit by frost now!
Aaaggh! Great plants,( daffs were in full bloom at Dunham Park Winter garden) but that poor frog would be waiting for someone else to shoo him back - I would have been half a mile away ! Hope there isn't a frost although methinks there will be as I heard Fred tonight on TV!
Hi Sue
from the leaves on the mystery plants - could they be violas maybe ? Good luck with the heating !
Poor froggy !
My bulbs are pushing through too. Two flowers have opened on a camellia and I saw a dunnock gathering materials for a nest this morning. All too soon !

I love to see the green bursting thru the earth!! (pipes, no bursting...ha! those look like a funky Halloween decoration you could work with tho!) take care.
