You have lost me on the dahlias, I'm afraid. Probably senility breaking through, as I don't do well recalling earlier conversations, but if we could breed a black & white one.....well, we'd have more than enough to fix our particular shack on the edge of nowhere in particular!

There have been a few nightmares, even an attempt at gazumping, but I'm hopeful that by Friday those fingers can be uncrossed.;)

Apparently tonights episode is from the "other side of life" with a how shall we say, unconventional couple from Aberdeen changing a perfectly normal semi into what looks like a bordello. Dr. Hamish and 'Mitchy'. his bride to be, are convinced that sex sells.

Sarah does her best to dissuade them, by meeting a seemingly endless parade of dour unimpressed Scotsmen, but the couple persist. According to Mad McTavish (oh yes, it's him), the property market in Aberdeen cannot crash, and with his nous and Mitchy's talent for interior design they are set to make a wee fortune.

Let's see.

Oh, the Gardening Show at the Bath & West Showground, which has the big dahlia display. Right......

Err no, we went two years ago and decided the dahlias were rather vulgar, especially some of those huge show varieties.

Actually, the dahlia I bred, which is possibly going commercial soon is also a bit vulgar, being bright orange, and very hard to place, except it's doing OK alongside some very blue agapanthus ATM. I'd rather have bred something tasteful, like the one I got recently called 'Pumpkin Pie.'

On topic; I believe the people on tonight's programme may lose a few bob.

Off topic again; it's the bloke who's holding things up, now we've sorted the carp legals!

Oh, thats pretty, isn't it? I also love pumkin pie, oh goodness, I'm no good with them, but maybe we should try again. Garden here now lacks the wow that it has early in summer, walking around garden cntres to get ides of what's out now, but keep being distractedby annuals. (I learned something new, that you get annual pinks!, so pretty, but presumably no way to take cuttings for next year )

On topic: they always lose money

Off topic again: men :rolleyes:
