Unknown bush/shrub

[shaneystar2]

We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

Morning all
Snowing here atm and cold .
People being advised to leave their homes in the low lying areas in case it floods and they've got the military and police on alert because of the sea surge tonight.The council obviously don't want to be caught with their pants down after the last disaster so they're dishing out plenty of sandbags.
Hope you're all ok .Keep warm and safe .

it's snowing here but the wind's so gusty, more of it is going up than coming down.

Sunny here but chilly. I went out dressed like an Eskimo and sweated like a pig! Mind you everyone else was the same!
Take care all you with snow and no slipping!!

the sun came out in the end, nothing settled, what a letdown. Can I sue Michael Fish?

cold cold cold here but no snow

[shaneystar2]

We had a good layer of snow but all gone now when it turned to sleet.
The wind has really got wild though .High tide is 9.15 tonight .Let's hope it's not as high as predicted. They've closed off the roads by the river and warned people not to go on the pier but there are always idiots who take no notice.

[shaneystar2]

All's well .The wind dropped suddenly and although the tide was very high there was no significant flooding. Bit of water washing over the riverside and seafront but nothing as drastic as 2013. Bit worse up the coast towards North Norfolk but nowhere near as bad as forecast.
Of course some bf had to jump in the river but they hauled him out pdq and arrested him for being a public nuisance..lol.
It's snowing again now and very cold .Hope you all have a peaceful night .

I am glad all is well Shaney. Its been really cold here but the wind has dropped.

Morning...cold and grey now, there was a beautiful pink sky earlier although that might not be such a good sign. Yesterday turned out to be very sunny but very cold.

Pleased you're safe over there shaney, hope it stays that way. I've got a cousin in Lowestoft but I'm not sure of his exact location. They often have a rough time.

In theory I'm having a post xmas clear out...in practise I'm just looking at things and finding some I'd forgotten I had.

Morning all! Glad you are safe and sound Shaney! Red cross here and preparing to help the homeless as we are expecting icy if not snowy weather! Tis very cold! Am in a cafe in Ibiza town having g brekkie!

all grey here but the temperature seems okayish. Just realised it's the weekend.

still blooming cold here

[netibiza]

Well Mr N has given up golfing so he is doing a few odd jobs at last! Or should i say was, he's beggered off in his van somewhere and I guess I won't see him for a while!!
Very sunny here and even though the temps say 12° we none of us believe it as it is very cold! Nice day to dry washing though.

[shaneystar2]

Freezing cold here and a good layer of snow this morning .That soon went but it's been sleeting on and off all day.What slushy bits were left have frozen over as I found out when I skated towards the wheelie bin.
Yes huge relief about the flooding but there are some moaning it was an overreaction from the council.Had it flooded and nothing was in place to prevent it then they would be moaning about that.Some people are never happy.I think the police,fire brigade etc round here did a great job.
Hope you're all ok .Keep warm .

[woofgang]

still cold here. Ocado man has broken down, well the van has so we are in limbo till he turns up...can’t get dinner or nuffink

[netibiza]

Jolly cold here relatively! Was freezing when I went out to get the washing in at 7pm. Mr N has fitted another heater in my (our eventually again) bedroom and itbs lovely and cosy.
Made a lovely dinner of pork medallions in mustard sauce with saute pot, peppers, mushrooms, garlic and onions. It was tasty!
Just watched a programme about the old coaches and coach trips. A lovely bit of reminiscing even though I only did coach trips on the Sunday school outings once a year!

[netibiza]

Good morning all!
Oh dear woody I do hope you have food and drink now!
Very sunny but chilly and getting colder here! Nice!!!

[netibiza]

Sorry woofy that was typed woofy but it changed when I submitted it!!

[jno]

we are going into the leafy south-east to lunch with friends so of course it's raining. At least they will pick us up at their station.

Morning...another wet and grey day in Derby.
Oh dear woofy, hope you're not fading away. Send the boys out to catch a squirrel or something.
I remember the days when you could rely on deliveries
