  • Oh yes Verdun,  I see what you mean. Perhaps Runny can make another image

    Verdun? You sailed too close to Sirenium Scopula and heard the Seireine song of the Greek Sirens dripping doughnuts. As a man from Corwall who like us in the NE you should have brine instead of blood resisting the wiles of those dangerous females. You return as I prepare to leave, a birthday at the weekend one it never even entered my head I would ever see makes me realise my type of old hat gardening has gone, quick and easy is not my way, the truth brutal, back off there are plenty of moderns on here.

  • Surely you're not planning to leave the forum, Frank?  It wouldn't be the same without your reminiscences and little rhymes.  Please stay!  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
  • Frank - there's still plenty of value in the more traditional gardening methods - and sometimes the quick and easy way will fail, and we need to know how to get back to basics.

    You have a lot of valuable knowledge - I would miss your contributions. image

    Frank, I need your weather reports apart from your interesting tales.  Remember that others are  getting a bit long in the tooth as wellimage

    Frank, get your ganzie on and a woollen  hat, if it's cold or you're getting a wee bitty thin on top and sit yerself down.  Social history is required from your good self along with tales of the East (both Far and local)

    Your good daughters will not object to sharing you......they know you are safe with usimage

    Ok lay off, my back is sore from all this slapping, it will be a short break owing to the time of year. I lost Joan four days after my birthday six years ago this month after sixty years of love fun dancing and at times a little too much excitement, raising a strong loving family as well. They want to make a fuss and I know it will go over my head as memories come from nowhere to make me day dream, you never forget.

    Give it a little time although you will not get answers for quick and easy questions, where it is possible to give useful advice then I will try to answer.

    I do have nearly a full time job on local history as one of the few survivers who remembers Norton as a Village and Stockton in its delapidated condition after years of need war and then austerity, the young budding historians have no idea, some one needs tell it as it was.

    Frank.
