What a lovely comment Frank! Glad you're happy . I was afraid we might lose your wealth of knowledge and experience, not to mention your sense of humour. Although we didn't communicate much directly on the other boards, I have browsed quite a few of your posts, and come across one or two old war stories! (or was it three?)
Hello Lorea not my war stories they were written for the Panto we once had years back tongue in cheek but probably a grain of truth in there somewhere. With long army service it is surprising what humorous events occur and I always saw the funny side of things, well you had to or sink. It is a good site glad I came and happy to meet so many good gardening virtual friends.
Hi everyone. I was boozysuzy on the BBC site but decided a name change was in order - I'm not really so boozy these days! Thanks to Gardeners' World for being so welcoming.
Hi folks, just arrived from the BBC site, can I come in??
Wow, I hadn't realised that I "virtually" knew so many posters - and they're all here. I hope that the "locals" on here are friendly with so many of us arriving en masse - we don't want to be cliquey!
It will take me a while to get used to this site, being somewhat technologically inept, however I did manage to add a geranium photo which I took a while ago. (Smugsmiley).
Jean you made it over and welcome. You will find it best to read along the top of the pages and clicking on to latest posts hot threads or newest topics. Down the left side there are discussions that are going on so it becomes quite easy to find what you want. You did better than me I have not tried to put a photo on yet not knowing how, some one will tell me.

I love this site and managed a few answers to queries, what is normal practice to us oldies is all new to the young ones, I hope I can keep helping.

Home from home, there's even a weather thread. Recognised the chickens, Geoff, your identity was never going to be a secret for long.
Agree the smilies are a tab bit scary but good news about posting pics

Hi Jeannie and welcome! We're all settling in here nicely and starting to find our way around. I'm sure the "locals" are friendly!
