  • Eight plants is not enough really - could my less intelligent, rather ugly, non-identical twin sister of the same name, also have a go at this?  image

    Seven fir trees, and one palm......

    ...then I could cut 'em up and make a raft to get the hell out of there.... the palm would provide the means to lash them together   image

    Of course, the luxury item would have to be an axe or a saw.... image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    What a practical person you must be Fairygirl! My choices were pretty flowers and a romantic novel. Fat lot of use they would be!

    I could choose those and we could sail off together!

    How good are you at rowing? I'd be rubbish - we'd be going round in circles image

  • Gosh Fairygirl, I'm stuffing myself with chocolate and you're building a raft.   I don't want to give up my chocolate, could you and Ray Mears please set up home on a neighbouring island, ( within shouting distance) in case I need you.image

    The other problem is - I can't swim, so it'll need to be a very big raft!   

    I like my feet on terra firma image

    I used to be quite good at rowing when I was younger. I think if birdyboots has lots of chocolate we should invite her to join us if she doesn't mind sharing.image  We'll need to keep up our energy!
