It was the in thing Tina in the eighties - ex partner had a lovely floral 'vine' round the bedroom which his ex wife had done.....had to show him the error of his ways in keeping it for 6 or 7 years after she'd gone!
Mind you, it wasn't as bad as having to look at the nice family photo of them both on the bedroom wall...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Pennies sorry if i have offended you. I have a rather infantile sense of humour. Now to Cannas. My favourites are Durban [ dark and stripy sometimes sold as Phasion ] look wonderful with sun behind them. Also love Pretoria and General Eisenhour.
BL love your description of January. Red wine then whisky for me followed by day in bed.
I feel some seed ordering coming on.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Goodness me!!!! Was it as far back as that FG? Just put my thinking cap on and it had to be done late 1990's. I'm always lagging behind. I should add that the bathroom is decorated, well emulsioned/painted, regularly. Just needs a little facelift - like me.
Don't think anything you said could have offended anyone Punkdoc
Posts from Pennies were rather enigmatic - not sure what it was all about, but given that it was only polite to respond to a newcomer I think we did well in the circumstances - it's hard to know what to reply to vaguely religious references
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Pennies is busy talking to her/himself on other thread.
Panda, so sorry. Forgot to wish you a speedy recovery. It's all these viruses you know.
Puncdoc, you certainly were offensive until you mentioned Cannas. Bought two earlier in the year and slowly they died. Have one 'leaf' left. Will stick to what I know next year.
Hooray - my bulb order has arrived - hopefully will be planting tomorrow - alliums (white) various tulips, pots are waiting, and some large flower head daffs for the family border, Remembrance of my old dad.
Have just re-boiled a batch of pear and vanilla jam as it was more like a sauce - seems thicker now, if it doesn't set it'll be for icecream/yoghurt treats

That photo would have been the first thing to go FG!
I know MsB!!! Don't worry - it went quite soon after I became the regular girlfriend

Will let you know if my ruse works Panda.

Frustrating when you forget to say something and can't go back to first post
Panda hope you soon begin to feel better.
Tina- think you meant to say 'you weren't offensive' to punkdoc!!!
Yes - hope you're feeling better soon Panda. It's all that bamboo you're eating...
