Thank you. OH and I have been out for a lovely lunch and then a raid on 2 nurseries where I found 6 of the shrubs on my wishlist and 2 more at prices I wasn't prepared to pay. 60€ is a bit much - this side of winter they can take the risk and I'll look for something smaller in spring.
The promised storms and rain have not materialised and we've had a sunny 18C. Maybe some rain tonight.
