Lily P - my son used to do business with China - they seerm to have a totally different understanding of procedures to everyone else - in the end he just gave up I'm sure your family will get it all sorted eventually, but it will have to be done the way the Chinese want (and may, in our experience, cost more money ).
Russians in general seem far more pragmatic and reasonable. (His ex is Russian and he's done a lot of travelling there.)
KEF, sorry you didn't enjoy your day - you should've come down to Cromer
Panda - I admire your determination
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
SGL is a Ross-ette too, so she's got to be on the Poldark express. Didn't know TOPBIRD and DOve were fans as well, have to book a bigger venue. Anyone else climb aboard.......so to speak =

Oh, from the beginning, but I just smoulder quietly

Dove's Cromer day out sounds great, just the sort of day I like.
DD, I'm sure you can come and meet Matty. Glad you're coming to the Strawberry Tea. Will Charlie be coming? Most of us are on the elderly side, if he doesn't mind he'll be welcome!
I hope it can all be sorted Lily P, how worrying.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good luck to Mrs Edd, if it is exams for her. Our household starts them next week ....the tension is building. Roll on 15th June, when all will be over
Morning Peeps ....4 day week .....but a busy one - might not be round much. Keep gardening for me
Good morning all We've just had our first night over 10C and its raining and raining and raining - hopefully the pond will begin to fill up. Mind you, the rain doesn't seem to put the robin off - he was waiting under the table on the terrace for me to appear with the mealworms this morning.

Liriodendron thank you, that helps, the problems all seem to have been at the Chinese end.
Russian end had no problem with the pets.
Matty thank you also, the Chinese eat black dogs and the dogs are black!
hope you have a lovely break
4th Panda officialdom gone too far. None of them have left and are hoping to sort tomorrow when some "officials" are available. Disaster

What a mess LilyP
They just don't get it!
Can't wait for them to give up Chicky

Runny, Dove's OH has a look of Poldark . . . . or so she says
Lizzie, if Runny runs away, all the more for the rest of us
Hi all ( if any still up) probably Gazza for me too, unexpected guests arrived and drank copious amounts of wine.
BL - hope we can pass Charlie onto someone else for the afternoon, but he does appreciate gardening if a little over enthusiastic.
Matty will be lovely to meet you and cake always a good icebreaker.
Fed up with weeds, been digging all day at them.
Still working on rockery, way bigger project than I first thought - ever onwards.
