My dad is so awesome! He's popped in again today bearing gifts. A huge Strawberry and cream cake that his wife made, loads of wood for my raised beds/coldframe and he's bought me a new plastic mini greenhouse/tomato house!! It's great! Tell me where I position it?
Dean, you had better tell us that story now you've teased us!
Becks, my Dad was just the same. He always had just the bit of wood or random item that you needed and would come and help - even if you were 100+ miles away! He had 5 girlies to look after!
Glyn, we went to Bournemouth Air Festival today hence the trudging. Wish I'd thought to put a sandwich board on OH advertising Found Kitten. Actually I'm hoping he's not claimed for a few more days as I have my niece for two Teacher Training days next week and I know she'll just love him.
Good evening all , I can't keep up with all these postings - thats what I get for going A.W.O.L. Well, daughter and boys have arrived in Dawlish albeit later than planned - she got caught up in big traffic jam . I can now breathe again .
We've had the most glorious day here , really warm and sunny so hubby and I have been in garden all day. Weeding , hoeing, planting, fence painting - you name it , we've done it. Really pleased to see it looking so good and the good news is the nice weather is here for about 3 days. Hurray ! Went to Poundland early this morning and got 15 fritillaria meleagris and a hardy fuschia in Home annd Bargain - 99p . Planted them and some other bulbs to fill a few gaps . Starting pots tomorrow.
Becks - you seem to attract creepy crawlies ! Hope your bloke is ok, Figrat , glad your eye is ok Dan . Pam- forgot , I've been doing cuttings today as well - mainly Dianthus, Flo , any news on kitten, Lyn ,glad you had a good day out and Hi Kate, Hi Glyn and PHEW............
Oh no kate! I will find a way to anchor it down at the bottom.
I'll be building it Glyn. I'm not afraid if a bit of DIY. It may be afraid of me though.
Flo, I think he forgets I'm a 40 year old woman now, and I also think he feels a bit sorry for me, being a single mum and all, when my other 2 sisters are happily married and have men in their lives! I personally wouldn't have it any other way.
Unfortunately! My best buddy who as grown up with me as young as eight years old! n we both met our partners in the same night club nearly twenty five years since as been diagnosed with the big C! n she as taken the natural route for return rather than Chemo!! n I have provided as much natural grown stuff as possible!! Now I ain't seen her for a while! She turned up today n was glowing! Am telling ya! Seen that Chemo shit with my old dear! It's poison!!!!
Dean, really wasn't expecting a story like that. I thought you were going to tell us something about your method of growing, or some disaster you'd had.
It just goes to show doesn't it, that sometimes, the medical route is took all to often as standard. Good luck to her. And very brave!
Dean, there is a lot to be said on that subject , the guy next door to me had bowel cancer , shunned all treatment and changed his diet and is now totally clear. He went to India for a month as well to meditate - makes you wonder. Glad about your friend.

Becks I can only tell you one thing about the plastic mini greenhouse secure it very tightly, mine blew over last winter
Cake sounds nice.
