    Morning all! Having my last cuddles in bed with just the hound and I; will be collecting partner from the train station tonight. I think we're both making the most of it.

    I've a committee meeting today for a club I support so must get up and get my rump in gear to travel across the country. Please be gentle with me M1! It's not going to be an easy meeting so there may be cider going in the fridge in preparation.

    Keep safe everyone.

  • Good morning All, I am still here! I tried to read back from the start of the October thread, but only got to page 4 and have  to get a move on so sorry of (I know I have) missed stuff. image

    So much to tell you all, but really not the time. In essence, all going well but working hours & hours on end. Love it though. image

    Have two additions to the family too, Cupcake & Sprinkles - 2 delightful kittens, birthday presents for Charlie. Adorable. 

    Also, got myself a 'boyfriend' and lost him, all in one go - shame because I was really keen, but he says my life is too complicated with the business and so on. Unfortunately, he is right, not the right moment I suppose, but gosh he made my knees go weak. Shame we didn't get past the meeting for coffee stage. image

    I do hope you are all well, I am going to try and get back on here more often. I've entered into the Open Gardens Scheme next year so going to need lots of help and advice. I did tell them it will be a 'before' garden this year. 

    Best wishes to you all, I 'll try  & get some pics up later so you can se what I've been up too. Loved Clari's felt decorations, will get them organised for next year - maybe. xxx

    The moon was special last night here too, Dove. 

    Lovely to see DD. I’m glad it’s going well. I like the names of the kittens.

    DD super to hear from you.  Looks like your dream is becoming the reality you deserve!

    well done but try not to work too hard, you have to have some "you" time  I am sure the guy you mentioned is just the first of many The fury friends for Charlie sound just the ticket! Hope he is well

    Keep in touch when you can, I am sure I speak for many when I say we all thrilled you have managed to turn your life around and are happy ?

    Morning all/afties Pat - is  it 'that' visitor?  image

    Brilliant that it's all going so well DD. Forget about the men...more trouble than it's worth image

    Seriously - walk befor eyou run - and enjoy all the success. You deserve it xxx

    Stinky day here Joyce. Been wet and windy since last night. Bit warmer than yesterday though. Wouldn't be hard. Four degrees yesterday morning when I hung washing out.

    The moon was lovely the other night. Took some photos but haven't sorted them yet. They might be rubbish. 

    The birds are tucking into the food on the feeders. I watched a little wren yesterday getting stuck into a worm it had got hold of. It couldn't quite manage - and dropped it. It's a little youngster and has been in the garden quite a bit this week image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hello everyone. I've been reading but it's been too long since I posted to go back over everything so I'll just say - hope everyone is well, and those who aren't are on the mend. And great to hear some news from DD image.

    The RHS course is going well. It's pretty full on and we're deep in cells and soil structure at the moment. I love it. I had a birthday, went to Wisley for the day - I'd only been once before and that was 15 years ago, so lots to see and enjoy. And am finally starting to tackle our front garden, which has been an embarrassing weedy mess for years while I focussed on the back. Not quite sure what I'm going to do with it, am just clearing and weeding and clearing and weeding at the moment, but it's good to get started. I've had plants in pots that I've been saving for it for AGES.

    I ought to be studying but I've had a migraine this morning. The drugs are working but I stil feel a bit wiped out - some physical work anf fresh air might be a better idea. Maybe I'll recite cell terminology to myself while I do it... if only I could remember any of the words to recite!

    I concur 100%. image

    I disagree 100%. ggrrr

    To-day's forecast rain has arrived so I think it's time to ditch the tons of remaining tomatoes. We've used tons and given tons more away. 

    Have a good weekend one and all.

    Dove, the parcel arrived. Many thanks. xx
