Rosehip Apr 2017 5:23pm, 4 Apr 2017 8,512 posts	0 Rosehip I love tulips - but that's because mum is from near Spalding and they were a big thing when I was growing up. Fields and fields of them spaldingnet.com and in finding that link I see they stopped the parade in 2013

Sharkie Apr 2017 5:58pm, 4 Apr 2017 11,234 posts	0 Sharkie I hung on for nearly two days, Dio - it really doesn't matter. And a lot of people post in the evening anyway. Or early tomorrow. I'm sadly newt free at the moment.

halfpint Apr 2017 6:13pm, 4 Apr 2017 22,858 posts	0 halfpint I saw my first proper crop/group/gathering of daffodils just the other day. I love it when everything turns yellow - daffs, oil seed rape, broom, gorse.

I do have a newt! For the first time, I got access to a patient's sheltered housing complex by knocking on her window and getting her to pass her keys out to me. The keypad and bell are out of action after a burglary, and she doesn't use the 'phone.

That's a newt. And as I do intervals about four times a year, less if I don't run with Fleecy, then intervals are sort-of a newt too. And I got invited to my PhD graduation. That's definitely a newt
halfpint Apr 2017 6:31pm, 4 Apr 2017 22,860 posts	0 halfpint PhD graduation is a good newt Linds. I have had smoked haddock and egg poached in milk. It's not a first but first in a long time. The fish was from a supermarket counter and was good - this is a newt!
