  • Sorry been lurking - Please don't compost me!

    Hi All,

    I am sorry but as the title says, I have been lurking about here!

    I have had some big family issues which started Christmas day and have been getting worse by the hour So I just did not feel I had much to add to the posts although a few have made me laugh!

    Anyway I am back and plan to try and catch upp with you all.

    Gardening wise has not had a great start either, greenhouse blow down and frame sheared in several places. The nice manufacturer has now sent a replacement at a reduced cost But it will be April before I can get it built, late start again this year for me.

    Good news: A very nice neighbour offered me her daughter's shed a few weeks back, saying it was virtually new AND last night her Grandson with the help of a flat bed truck and 6 friends delivered it to me!! I didn't ask them to they just did it, it was so kind and really made me think about the positives not the negatives. So I know have a very posh looking double door shed with lots of windows to play in too (when I get it built that is )


    Belated Happy Birthdays etc to you all and I hope to catch up soon.

    Mandy x

    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom

    I've come to take you home."

      Hiya Mandy, glad you're back. Sometimes it's just not the right time to post, but still good to visit the Vine now and again for a bit of 'sanity'.

          Thanks Seahorse & MuckDiva,

          Think I need all the sanity or insanity of the vine

          Happy gardening, the nights are getting shorter

            Good to see you about again mandyballantyne. Sorry to hear of your troubles at home . Hope they sort themselves out soon.
            There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.
