Thought it might be Stokes - might be in town on Friday. Thanks.

Buy them quickly: they're in short supply and expensive this year.

I'll be on the lookout round here then.
Howard's a bit down about being back in work and the prospect of marmalade making will cheer him up.
(He saw an article on the marmalade festival in Cumbria, so we might be heading to the Lakes in February rather than the Midlands for Potato Day and Ashwoods' Helebores as I'd had planned)

Oh Lynne, don't miss the hellebore day: it's wonderful! If I remember though, it's held over a weekend so you could, perhaps, go on the way to or from the lakes? It's not just hellebores: allsorts of lovely winter flowering stuff.

I know - went there two years ago. I want to get another primrose yellow hellebore, so if the middle class grannies at the London RHS Show (literally)beat me to my plant of choice, I can choose one at the nursery.
Wow: really cheap, Cab! They were £1:00 per k here 2 years ago. Now £1:50
Usually I'd have thought that was 'cos there are several stalls all selling the same thing on the market, its only one stall has 'em today though, so its an exceptionally good price.

OK, I confess: I bought some hot cross buns yesterday
