OL - read one of Santa M's books last summer, and enjoyed it - did you know she was Tara Palmer Tomkinson's sister ??
Busy day on here - taken me ages to catch up - lots of gardening, lots of cake, and a few units of alcohol too. Welcome newbies - great to have you here. Love Caral's OH comment - flowers always appear by magic - a bit like clean houses and fresh laundry.
Been bracken bashing in the meadow - making progress. Could do with some more rain here but none forecast - might have to get the hose out soon.
need to get all my rudbeckias and dahlias in the garden this weekend. Task no. 1 on the list and its only Tuesday. Don't know where the time goes.
Got a dreaded team building day tomorrow, swinging through tree tops (madness). Last time i tried it was about a decade ago, when i accompanied littlest chicklet. I was so worried that she would fall that i lost my nerve completely .... Turned into a gibbering wreck...... Tomorrow will be a test of whether it really was her i was worried about, or just a phobia of my own. Unfortunately, i would rather not put it to the test in front of colleagues (none of whom are ever likely to be friends). Do you think i could pull a sickie.
I have only done a high ropes (tree tops) thing once before. Have done abseiling etc before so thought I would be ok. Turns out I was a total gibbering wreck. Gibbered my way round. Not cool.

Missed your little girl Lizzie - shes soooooo pretty
Yeah, pull a sickie chicky.
In the sticks near Peterborough
...... So tempted ......
No I didn't know that Chicky, I hadn't heard of her until the other day which is surprising as she has written loads of books.
Beautiful lady Lizzie
She has a sweet nature too, but other horses tend to boss her about, she's always lowest in the pecking order.
Def pull a sicky Chicky

But daughter said she was proud of me for having a go.
