it's so sad to read some of the recent work related comments on here - but I admire all of your stoicism to the nth degree!!! I feel the same as nutcutlet in that I got to retirement age just in time! I worked in the probation service as an administrator & the changes that have gone on there recently are quite scary! I was lucky to work in a brilliantly supportive team environment but not all my colleagues were so fortunate.
Looking forwards to the Conwy food festival this weekend - loads of talks & demonstrations to take in. I fancy the beekeeping one & chickens in a small garden!!! They've got various gardening talks this year too - hope the marquees dont blow away while I'm in one!!!!!
Didn't get chance to read any threads before work this morning and just got back. Have read through threads, they made me quite sad. Dove what a lovely person you are.
The work place in general is no longer a fun place to be. There's less staff with just as much if not more work to do for rubbish money. And not much appreciation.
Ok, time for a picture of my new GH, with my work bench and table.
its not very full yet, and is a bit tricky as it is made to suspend seed trays in the racks, but I'll get OH to put shelves in instead. Everything is perched quite precariously.
KEF. Really glad you said that about catalogues. I had started to think it was just another thing that marked me down as odd. This afternno still feeling very poorly I have been flicking through the RHS mag. thinking ooh I will have that from that page and so on. The next job! is to plan where I would put all these plants.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
