I've been led to believe that the former does not need treatment Penny. Let us hope that is what it turns out to be.

Thanks, Carole and Stymie. I'll tell Billy you'll be thinking of her. 
The haemangioma is, in basic terms, a pocket of blood formed from broken blood vessels and could be dealt with relatively easiy, so, yes, lets hope that's what it is. The cytoma would mean removal of the spleen and hoping that there aren't tumours anywhere else, e.g. in her liver. She's in good health, otherwise, eating and exercising, so she has that in her favour.
I'll be able to walk her to the surgery, which is on the outskirts of town and a friend will bring us home in the evening.
I took this photo of her the other evening.

I wouldn't worry about it, Kath. What's the time matter when you're having fun! Cheers Carol

A lovely, sunny day after a frost overnight. The birds' water outside was frozen. Saw two thrushes in the garden this morning - quite a sight. If I'd looked out of the window a minute later, I would have missed them.
I did some work at the nursery today, removing moss and weeds from potted climbing roses, taking off the top inch of soil and replacing it, adding a feed pellet.
Then watched the rugby and didn't get anything done in my own garden.
I did plant spring onion and spinach seeds in trays at the nursery and have them in one of the big polytunnels. Once they're grown, I'll transplant them to my garden.
I walked to look at the buckthorn I planted a few months ago over my little dog's grave. It's settled well and has buds. The new twigs are dark and the buds almost black - a very dark brown.
I went to U3A Gardening Group on Wednesday. We had a talk by the assistant head gardener from Stourhead. Very interesting. They're the only National Trust Garden to have their own tree surgeions, the gardeners having trained as such. Only six gardeners for the huge estate - with approximately 16 volunteers who help as they can. The Group has varioius trips arranged for the coming season, one to Bristol University Botanical Gardens, which sounds interesting.
Hope you were able to get out and enjoy your gardens.

I've been watching Monty Don in India tonight. I thought that I'd be sharing it with you Penny because you watch the series. What about the garden constructed from rubbish eh?
