Sorry to interrupt but i have only just seen this thread. My name is heavy with irony. First bit is where I live. Second part mysteriously appeared late at night after trip to local hostelry. Beware!
Love the way names are abbreviated, and "Woody" and WW are certainly quicker to type. ( not to be confused with "Woodsie" who has appeared elsewhere on this site).
Definitely more shy than name would suggest, Someone once said there was an extrovert in there somewhere struggling to get out. About right.
Now then Orchid Lady, professional Waltz dancers are the staid ones who do the one two three exactly to the dot. You are being asked to dance by the lad who with his wife managed to dance the whole waltz in the Strauss Dance Halle Vienna on an empty floor when the room was sardine packed. Did they think us part of the show? we were dolled up, or was it the style? Imagine English Hussar in full flow with his lady, we got well and truly applauded when we finished.
Because of the mad rush of Hospital tests the last three weeks my Piano lid has stayed closed, when this is all over I will be back playing and so will you when you get the time, it will come.
How wonderful to find this thread! As a newcomer here I've been a bit tentative, afraid of butting in to a forum where lots of you seem already to be friends. But now I've been able to find a bit about some of you, and feel as if I might be able to be part of the family... Sorry about Liriodendron. Sounds a bit poncy... wanted a tree name, because I love 'em - happiest when in a wood, or sitting with my back against a tree. (On my own, preferably... not that I dislike people, but I need my own space.) But all the common tree names were taken, so I chose one I thought nobody would have thought of...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Now this is why I try not to look at he forum when I'm supposed to be working ....
Have had to divert to the RHS site to find out what a Liriodendron tree looks like - then had to have a look at something else on there - which led to something else - which.... so 30 mins later I can now say - lovely choice for a for a forum name Liri !!!!
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
I like Liri. Was considering changing my name but perhaps I won't... Thank you all for your welcome, much appreciated. No, Beaus Mum, a boringly English lass I'm afraid (if I can still be called a lass now I've retired!) Great to be able to share gardening ideas with like-minded folk. I was feeling withdrawal symptoms following retirement from the garden centre, where on Customer Services I'd frequently be presented with holey leaves & have to advise on treatment, etc. (My favourite customer was one who came up to me with a big smile and said "Hello, can you help me please? I want a plant." Couldn't resist saying "well, you've come to the right place...")

My forum name is my location and not an occupation. Don't think I could work with trees as I hate them being chopped down. Ever since I was about three or four when my parents took me for walks in the woods and they were felling trees I get upset - almost like they are being killed (well I suppose they are actually).
