    None of those, not as exciting, but now I want lots of day trips and we just don't have the time :(.


    I really need to collate the links to places or mentions you make to get round them all....if I DO get surgery there will be no gardening for a bit, so maybe I can have shopping day trips for things for hues and garden.

    Hmm, could get expensive!

    I don't remember it!

    We're hoping to spend some money and buy a pretty big tree that DH wants. He's chatting to people about it this week Problem might be finding a tub big enough that we both like and can afford. :o ( has to be in a pot/ planter). It might sit in the plastic tub it comes in for a couple of years,

    I've just bought some large black plastic pots to take our box trees, as they're growing out of their 10 litre pots and we can't afford about £45 each for fake lead planters. :(

    Maybe one day.....:o
