ees.

How much are the rest of you growing and what do you do with the surplus?

We don't grow too much. I grow stuff that's nice to eat and I often am too busy with work to sow a glut. We can eat lots of strawberries and raspberries so it doesn't matter how much i grow.


The rest get frozen and made into jams/chutneys.


Especially for fc: just been out to brighton for meal at fishy fishy. was really good. v surprised at how few proper restaurants there are. it's turned into lots of chains

That's the one owned by the famous presenter. I took my Canadian cousin there during the snow when he visited.

A few really really good indies in that area closed in the past 4 years.....and the big 241 chains just sit there mopping up the trade with their boil in a bag tat....and pay a lot less rent too.

Hope it helped.

Feel a little bit , but also by your compliment.

ooooo. i didn't realise it had a famous connection.

It felt really weird that most of them were chains serving the same food from one place to another

Dermot http://www.fishyfishy.co.uk He had something to do with Pop idol I think. Looks like they have a lot of £££ behind them. You know the areas at the front they use in the summer? Council charge them only £1000 pa rent, £20 pwk.

Peace reigns at the moment...middle son is giving the keyboard a rest at last. Thank goodness for that!

Eldest is ploughing his way through his exams, he enjoyed (yes enjoyed, weird child), his English exams but has not been too keen on the even earlier starts in the morning - paranoid parent here who insists he leaves earlier in the morning to make sure he is not late for the 8.30 exams.

He also sort of has a job working along the sea front....it's not confirmed but could be a def during the summer holidays when we have all the holiday makers here and all the attractions along the sea front are busy busy busy. He went down last Sunday but as the weather was overcast and it was the end of half term, they didn't need him.

Veggie/flower watch - Erm, things are nice and green, nice and colourful and nice and budding/growing. What things they are, I have not a clue!

And to the person who offered champagne - Yes please! My absolute favourite drink...which I very rarely have.

Why thank you lir, but the reality is that I'm removed from the problem and had a vague idea of what makes a certain type of person tick.
