    Hello everyone - are you still there? Missing you! (Except the lovely Maty who stops by for a virtual cuppa from time to time).

    Mike, how's the house looking with the first of the spring sunshine on it?

    Hi Miggy!

    Just you and me here, I think...

    Tidied up the garden yesterday for spring, and hope to find a source of cheap flowers and plants. The roundabout on the A27 looks pretty...

    Hello,

    It will be lovely to get into the garden - roundabout picking is a good source of flowers! Or you could try Pippilongstockings thread, she is a gardener extraordinaire(sp?) and I think she swaps/sells plants and seeds all the way from Orkney!!!

    Loving the sunshine and I bet everybody starts to come out of hibernation now. Will you be doing any sailing Mike?

  • Funnily enough someone at work asked me yesterday if I was still in contact with you Mike!

    I'm still here but no internet access at home yet so takes me ages to write any messages. Hope all is well with everyone? My new house is lovely and warm and undamp, and MrS is lovely as always. Have an interview next month at work for cabin manager and a meeting with a credit union on monday to discuss a cheaper rate for my debt.

    Hope you are enjoying the sunshine xx

    11pm? I'm just waking up by then! (Hoping that's true - am going to be working nights for a couple of weeks, LOL).

    Mike, you could try admiring your friends' gardens loudly and asking where they get their (most voluminous) plants. Gardeners being what they are, you are sure to be inundated with offers!

    Meanwhile we will keep a lookout for reports of mystery blight wiping out all plants on A27 roundabouts...

  • If you run out of local roundabouts on the A27 - there's always Chichester - I think there're 11! (Not sure if any of them have flowers that you would choose to "relocate" though :))
