I was paid in old money to be quiet! Kept it in a beaded, pink purse and Ernie was my lickle sis' fave single that we played on a portable record player like this:
We had a portable record player that was in a kind of small suitcase thing I had it in my bedroom in the 80's. The one in the living room was like a piece of furniture similar to a sideboard with storage cupboards for all the albums.
Hi guys, just wondered if I'm still counted as a member if my garden is totally neglected but has plans on paper with no time to make them ever come to fruition due to constant work either in my normal job or second job...
another guestion, if my second job is a gardener that has to make Other peoples gardens tidy, am I still welcome? Does it help if I I curse tidy gardens under my breath and take home unwanted self seedlings and stray hulks of bamboo plant?
We got given a dansette record player. With some old Elvis records amongst others. I wondered what a pelmo light was. I've only recently realised it was the pale moonlight.
There was also one that went # put your sweet lips a little clu... a little clu...a little clu...#
Then there was the Scottish soldier with the mucking if Geordie's byre on the other side.
And my two year old brother liked one that went #Judy Judy don't be moody. He worked out how to work the damned record player and knew which side to put it on. It drove us crazy.
Wonky, we're all committed gardeners but we do it for enjoyment, not environmental control. I've made lots of plans but when I get to the garden centre, I get distracted.
I love plants.I like growing them and if they look good together, that's a bonus.
My husband wanted to 'improve' the path, I explained that I didn't want straight edged or municipal planting and if the postman tripped on an uneven slab, the grass between the cracks would lessen the impact
Yup B3! I'm with you! Postman always puts mine through next doors as he can't be bothered to walk down a 20 foot path and open a gate he deserves what he gets! Considerate of you to leave padding to cushion his fall I think!

An eclectic mix.
