Yours too - I just nipped over to have a look and - coincidence - enjoyed the pic of your new bulb, cos I'm planning to post one of mine - exactly the same by the look of it - tomorrow. It arrived this morning from Watkins and Doncaster and is now glowing in the garden. But I mustn't say too much or I'll be repeating myself tomorrow.

I was in Calderdale yesterday and the steep valley sides were ablaze with daffodils. I'm greatly looking forward to getting the light going, specially as I'll be three weeks earlier than last year so maybe there'll be some new arrivals.

I'm eternally grateful to commentors such as yourself for putting me right. However hard I try my visual skills are such that the police would dread having me for a witness in a court case.

I'm enjoying your Country Diary in the Guardian as ever - the mossy one reminded me of a great job some years ago in Derbyshire where we were taken with great care by conservationists to examine a v rare moss. <br />That's a great story about the box Brownie. I'm hoping to find more corpses to keep things going til the bulbs arrive.

Every one had a dark shape in the bottom left-hand corner. When she died and my mother was clearing out her things she found her old box Browney and solved the mystery: dead clothes moth, jammed in the shutter.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609107148344256875noreply@blogger.com
