Its Crush A Grape (with love) Day!

[Finedon.Dandy]

The first grape I would like to crush is FLUMMERY or Mum Flum as I like to call her.

She was the first grape who ever did anything for me by sending me some lentern (sp?) rose seedlings last April, which was when I started to post regulary. She had always been ready with some kind words for me and has been a real support. I think she shows some real wit and wisdom on here and the vine wouldnt be the same without her. So are you ready for your crushing hug Mum Flum? Here it comes.....


(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((CRUSH)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))


I am sure some of you more pooter technical peeps on here will find an even better way of crushing but thats my attempt!

I will be back later to crush another grape - lots of contenders out there but I dont want to be the only one showing some love on our first ever "Crush A Grape (with love) Day" so I hope everyone will join me by crushing a grape or two, or three, or four, or five!.........................

I would love to crush all of you, but especially those lovely Grapes who have sent us so many herb seeds and kind wishes for our school fundraising - they've made the children excited and enthused about their project and will instill a love of gardening in another generation!

THANK YOU

My first crush would be for the lovely Hazel at the Hill. She was the first to welcome me to the Vine when I plucked up courage to ask my first question on here and has always been completely lovely to me. Her blog is an inspiration to me and she makes her own wine - what more can I say

I love you Haze baby ((((((((((((((((((((((( Big fat bear hug/crush ))))))))))))))))))))))) XXXX

[Flummery]

Well guys and gals, wasn't expecting to be here today - should have been building the hen-run but the stuff is still in transit!

So, now I can breathe again, I'll pass on a few crushes of my own.

Tammy - for starting the thread - nice one kid!

Pigletwillie, Hazel, Quark, Birdie Wife, Phreddy, Alice, Seahorse, Red Thorn, Lancashire Lad and so many more I can't just recall - for generous seed giving and swapping!

All the people who give me a laugh - and over the last couple of years, that's been LOTS of you.

To Aunty Mo, Nicos (and others) for the hen-wife knowledge so generously shared. I've learnt a lot from you.

To Snadger - for being so annoyingly right so often - a great gardening inspiration!

(((((((((((((((((((( crush)))))))))))))))))))

And to all those I haven't mentioned by name - the vine would be a poorer place without you all.

[SarzWix]

For Piskieinboots for not freaking out at the first PM I ever sent her. For her unswerving support last October and keeping me updated when I was away from the Vine, for being the go-between when I broke my ankle, and just generally being a lovely lady.
((((((((((Hug))))))))))

Also to Wellie, Shirlthegirl, Yoanbob, Shortie, Seahorse, Nicos, PigletWillie, HeyWayne, Andi&Di, Lynda66 for their support by phone letter, text & PM in October, and, all the people who contributed to the 'Get Well Soon' thread, you should all be proud of your understanding and tolerance.
((((((((((Hug))))))))))


There's still more.... Back shortly
