    Afties all. T'Bird. I've had a phone call from Jack in hospital. It was so nice to hear from him. Now I've got his number I can phone him every day. They are pleased with his progress but think it will be another 7-10 days until they are quite happy with him and will allow him home.
    Pleased that you didn't need any dental treatment Rosie, now 'fess up as to what you bought at the bakery.

    Hello everyone. I'm afraid that I have some really sad news to pass on to you all. I've just had a phone call from Sameena, Joyce's daughter telling me that Joyce was found dead in her home this morning. She asked me to pass this onto the forum. I'm signing out now as this news has really shocked me. Rest in peace our dear friend.

    What very, very sad news.

    As someone who had the pleasure of meeting Joyce about 18 months ago, I can tell you  that she was as lovely in real life as she seemed on the forum and her garden was every bit as beautiful as it looked on the photos she posted.

    Always generous with her advice and kind words she will be sorely missed. RIP my friend.

    thank you dear ladybird and topbird for passing this such sad news on. Not a nice thing to have to do. Joyce was a wonderful lady.  We had chatted and swapped plants over the years. I can’t believe she is gone. Love to her daughter and family xx
