Ndg, happy birthday. Are you getting younger? We seem to be getting closer in age . Maybe I am just ageing faster. Or have got my birthdate wrong again.

I used to live near a Hell. It was aptly named tbh.

Not too sure if there is any difference zag. :beer:

That was my feeling about Christmas anyway. It's grown into a major institution. Less sure that Hogmanay or New Year has caught on in such a big way in England but I'm never there to see it.

I was born not far from this town, (namechecked in the West Wing) whose natives were predictably known as Crojans. No wooden horses ther though.

Wha?! You still haven't bought anything new yet? I am sure you started it in early 2010?

Nope. I gave in though. I ordered the sweatshirt.
I thought it was 2008 or 2009?

Great to have you back NDG and we've all missed you :hello:

Don't worry about 35. By the time your 40 you'll realise that your still a young chic :beer:

I feel old, and I'm 30 years, so don't worry too much!

I don't think we met NDG, so hi, I'm CK :wave:

By the way, we still have a lot of snow still on the ground.

Starting to wonder if I'll get to do any planting this year!

Wow, that's impressive. Yesterday afternoon was quite warm here I am told. Today was cold again, but perhaps not as bad as it has been. The sun came out on its way down. Honestly, I had almost forgotten what spring sun could look like.

As it has sunk dh and I have been loving watching the light change. Between us and the big hill we can almost see the very air, a sort of a barely there hazy mauve ness, while the sky is almost electric in its blueness as it has deepened. It's been a very beautiful evening indeed.

I was born in Hemel Hempstead. Was it Morcambe and Wise who said, "If people from Poland have Polaroids, do people from Hemel Hempstead have...."? I can say the answer is no..
