    Good evening all. Just got through the multitude of posts on here - you 've all been busy. Got back about 6 and just having a chill now . Sorry about your toms Becks - I've never grown them but going to have a go next year. Flo - Pepper dog doesn't look like a naughty dog - he looks far too laid back.

    And Dean - maybe he's a man that can !

    It teamed down here when we left but E. Yorkshire was really sunny and we brought it back with us - been a lovely evening here. Hope it's decent tomorrow - I have pygmies living in my lawn and probally a whole host of other wildlife that I can't see.

    Dean, why did you need the AA man to change the tyre. I thought you blokes did that yourselves.



    Flo, perhaps Pepper behaved because he doesn't like performing in public, he must be shy.



    Jean, pygmies? Do you have a blow pipe handy?

    .
    Indeed Penninepetal from a very early age. Mother and Father were competition dancers and I went with them to the local hall when the Baby sitter said I was evil.
    Sit there don't move I did not need be told that I was mesmerised, the lights music and the smoothly gliding dancers. Being tall there was always some lady would get me up between the main dancing so by age 14 i was the MC at the Cadet dances and leading them off as we did back then.
    Danced all over the place, met my late wife at a dance as we all did, the Palais Glide was one of those wartime dances allowing none dancers to dance in line to a simple set of repeat steps.
    Danced the Waltz in Vienna on an empty floor surrounded by a milling crowd, I can only think they thought Joan and I part of the cabaret, we got applauded so must have looked OK.
    Only dancing I do now is hopping around on one foot using unfamiliar bad language.

    Frank.

    Jean, the forecast looks a bit dire for tomorrow, your pygmies may survive another day.

    Dean :- D I'm sure your man's taking it one day at a time.

    Pepper dog is only laid back and good when he's getting his own way. I think he quickly got over any shyness, Glyn, he kept sitting up like a meerkat, waving his front paws about and barking for attention! Anyway, he's very tired after all the excitement.

    I am just back in from snailing, not that many tonight but I did find 3 pairs of mating vine weevilsimage getting a little chilly out there now.

    Flo was there not a cutest dog class for Pepper?

    Dean do not mention the AA to me I broke down on the M25 and he drove past me because one letter did not match on the registrationimage have you ever tried to give your registration stood on the hard shoulderimage it took him 40 minutes to come off at the next junction and get back to me. By this time it was dark and wet and I was getting very annoyed.

    Pygmies, tell us more?

    Oh Frank what lovely memories. I met my husband learning to salsa ......still can't salsa though! He was brought in by my friend to partner me and I wasn't impressed on first sight. Now 11 years later .....

    They were all on a cornus, they were quite acrobatic, I suppose it is a good last memoryimage

    Oh Vienna! If Jim could have fixed it for me, I would have liked to have glided down a sweeping staircase in Vienna, to be whisked around the floor by a dashing hussar.
