My Mum and Dad travelled lots when they retired - did a similar South African trip and raved about it. Cape Town is meant to be the nicest of their cities. And Dad still talks about Proteus and the Kirstenbosch
I sometimes find that when there are a lot of photos the thread blocks, has happened on Marion's photo threads and on Garden Gallery, especially when the photos are big. Don't know whether it's my lap top or the site. Usually find that when others have posted and a new page is started it's OK again.
Morning all. Only 37 years til retirement for me so I guess I ought think about getting up! Enjoy retirement Dove, but don't be like my future mother in law who upon retiring has volunteered for so much you wonder whether she ever sits down!
I'm starting to think that's what I've done!
Stacey mentioning ski ing. Spending kid's inheritance. Something I never understand is why is the money the parents have spent their lives working for and saving up (which they often use to help their children anyway) for their retirement, the children's inheritance?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Because children are ungrateful buggers who fail to see that once they're educated (and parents have helped with uni fees), living in their own home (cheers for the help on the deposit), and deciding that their parents idea of how to bring up a child is COMPLETELY wrong (but I may call you at 03:00 because he wont stop crying and can you babysit free of charge every Wednesday night?) That their parents get to have their own lives back at some point!
David - it's being looked at now - don't know if they'll contact you by PM as PMs are a bit funny at the moment too - I have to scroll through all of mine looking for recent dates. That's another thing that they've got on the list but these things take longer than one would think - I'm sure you know that.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Well I am feeling really pathetic now. Went outside with plans to do a few hours in garden. Wandered around a bit checked greenhouse, decided it was too dull, wet and cold and came back in.
Got to read through the agenda for a meeting tomorrow and then might do some garden planning for next year.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

David - I'm getting the same as Dove for your camera thread.
Many thanks, Dove xx.....this forum does seem to have more than its fair share of quirks and I suppose this is just another.
The thread is still locked-up and despite my best efforts, I can't view most recent posts or have a reply box.
