    Well done all winners and hello katie - sending everyone hugs and warm wishes. :A:A

    Yes ff - the turning over the the beds was a no no - like you say, we gotta wait a while, the soil is far too difficult to turn over :) xxx

    Managed to do some flower borders tho, just tickling the top of the soil - removing weeds that hadn't gone too deep! Lazy I know but it looks ok at the mo. :o

    Lol Wingo!!! I is being very careful ...... I think ...... been doing low level gardening on me hands and knees - can just about get upright when i'v done!!! :D :rotfl::rotfl:

    Saw neighbour when out walking this morning, who has had hip replacement and she was out with step ladders :eek::eek:

    I will stay low level for a while and am looking to order them long hand held clippers so I can prune while keeping my feet firmly on the ground. :D

    May go out again to the garden for a wee while, then must do hoovering and ironing - long overdue :o. xxxxxxxx

    Hi everyone,



    I am back. Had a lovely time in Arran and Ayr, was doing a little Robert Burns tour today. Went to see the Centre and his cottage (won tickets to them a while ago). Had seen his cottage before when I was a child but everything is in the Centre now. It is worth seeing. Also went to see the ruined church and bridge that are associated with the poem "Tam O' Shanter". Also had my photo taken with a life size model of a "moose" from the poem "Tae a moose"
    It was a lovely sunny day but we did have to wrap up.
    Stayed in a great little B&B, if anyone ever going to Ayr give me a shout and I'll give you their number. Its score on Trip Advisor was 9.8 which was why I booked them. Managed to get us both for £45 and got our room upgraded free too!
    Hope everyone is well.

    Well done to all the winners.

    Summer in Greece would be great elle infact I would be happy with 2 weeks. Still not sure whether to go abroad this year, really don't want to bother my parents with watching the kids. Might try for something in Sep/Oct if all our short breaks work OK.
    Must get some comps done now.

    Sounds smashing sheils! Nice little upgrade too! I love it when things like that happen and you're not expecting it.

    I had that when I was in Fiji in December. A family wanted to stay in my beach front room and the owner asked if it was ok to move me. Turns out they moved me to the most expensive suite on the island that was also on the beach- totally free plus a free mini bar! Made a once in a lifetime trip that much lovelier (although I do want to go back because it was heaven!)

    Anyway, enough daydreaming, more comping! Congrats on the win wingo :)

    Tried to load some to FB earlier Sylvia but it wasn't working - will try later. Arran was looking lovely with snow capped mountains so took quite a few!;)
