Its Crush A Grape (with love) Day!

[FionaH]

May I crush Selfraising who has just offered me piping to cover my raised beds!!!!

This will avert countless arguments with MrH who wanted to turn the whole thing into an engineering project

[jacob marley]

I love you all Thanks for being there to keep me company

That's the one i will second that......jacob

[SarzWix]

Right, this is the last one... Thank you all for listening

For Lynda66, who joined the Vine and jumped straight in. Always cheerful, despite huge amounts of crappola in her life, a lot of which goes unmentioned here, or is made light of. She rarely shows a 'down' face to the world, and cheers everybody up along the way. She did a fabulous job of organising the Secret Santa, Tricky's seed present, and all the fab cards and gifts for me when I broke my ankle. And then she came all the way to visit me and deliver them. What a lady! Big ((((((((((Hugs)))))))))) for her.

For Auntie Mo, who put herself out to drive Lynda to mine after I broke my ankle. She's a proper star, and I'd love to meet her again. When I'm driving again I hope. Big ((((((((((Hugs)))))))))) for her too.


For ma MSN girls - BrideXIII and FionaH and Andi&Di. Bride who listens to my late night waffles, never judges, gives great advice and makes me laugh. And Fi's early morning chats, equally great advice, and laughs. And all 3, plus Lynda, for some hilarious 5 way chats. Love you guys. Di, we miss you, haven't you got MSN working yet?
((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

For PigletWillie, you are a very lovely man indeed. It's going to be strawberry runners I think One day I'll pluck up the courage to visit you, and give you a very large hug indeed. Kazzi is a lucky lass. ((((((((((Hugs))))))))))


Tammy, another Big squeeze for being a lovely girl and doing this.

[MrsC]

Sorry guys but can't do this!!!!!! Can't pick out a selected few and give reasons, there are too many, so will have to give you all a crush or squeeze or a hug! ((((((((((((((((((((((xxxxxxx))))))))))))))))))

[Hashette]

Loads of you for being fab and making me laugh when I needed it, and for all your advice and help and support

But above all

(((((Kirsty B)))))

for providing the roof that is now over my chooks' heads. You didn't know me from Adam, I'd posted on here about a dozen times, and you just gave me a chicken coop. I'm still blown away by it when I think about it, it's worth several hundred quid, and it was amazingly lovely of you xxxxx

[maytreefrannie]

So much good advice...
So many creative ideas...
So much generosity...

Can I just crush everyone on the vine with some really big

<<<<<<<hugs>>>>>>>

[Finedon.Dandy]

Can we feel the love yet? I can! The neighbours have just been to ask why the house is glowing - its my computer thats glowing from the lovely warm feeling created by you guys. We still have another 3 or so hours left of this very special day so I am going to put in my last little lot of crushes before I disolve in a eshausted heap!

Zazen - you have been a wonderful pal, sent me lots of seeds at the drop of a hat and have been having lots of cups of coffee for me the last couple of weeks.

Nicos - My very special friend over t' water who has been such a good shoulder to cry on through my recent rough times

Headfry - Miss you gal - You helped break the news of yet more sadness in my recent very trying times.

Kirsty B - For being one of my newest and special friends on here.

StacySteve - for offering the use of a shawl should I need it.

Heywayne - for being like a big brother that I always wanted with lots of advice and treating all my down times with the humor it needed to bring me back on track.

Hayden - for being such a little cutie pie - we love you special little bean.

Ladywayne - for being such a star and bring little H into the world.

Jackie J - For being another Mum to me down the vine and wishing she could babysit or be here for me, if only she wasnt so far away.

Pigletwillie - For being a wonderful mod, generous of heart to offer up his home to local grapes for a gettogether lunch.

Seahorse - for being there with kind words and advice when I really needed it and being a first class mod.

Allotment Lady - for having the conviction in that my handmade stuff is good enough to register on my store page. There was another grape who too offered to be a cust and I feel really bad that my brain wont remind me who but thanks.

Percy Charlie - for sharing your pregnancy with me - I just wish I could keep up with replies to all your wonderfull encouraging messages.

Snadger - for being a brill dad to us all - his advice uis 2nd to none.

Fiona H - for being a wonderful buddy with brilliant advice.

Farmer Gyles - for not realising what friends are.

Bride - For helping me name Neve

Lynda66 - For sharing the chicks progress with us

Hayley B - For bringing a smile to my face

Beefy - for being beefy.

Bubblewrap - for making me smile and I think his avatar is brill

Ailsasyl - For bringing Happy Bunny to the vine

There are countless others, please dont feel sad if I havent included you - you are all always in my thoughts and when things get tough you are always named in my prayers.

I LOVE YOU ALL

[Hilary B]

I'm gonna cheat. While I love you all (I want to thank you for watching me, and my little show<g>) my special love and hugs go to a recent grape who probably won't read the thread, Corax Aurata, who just happens to be my baby girl (even if she is all growed up, she will ALWAYS be my baby girl)

[scarey55]

Can I add a couple more grapes that I would like to give a big hug to.

The lovely Wellie who came to my house and made the most wonderful meals and did the ironing and knitted her way to Milleau with me. Love you sweets xx

Trousers for coming from my old stamping ground and remembering fun nights at the Top Rank disco in Reading and for being the best thing for Wellie since sliced bread.

My dear Auntie Flummery who is just the bestest poppett in all of Gapevineland and 'specially for thinking of me when dishing out all sorts of goodies.

How dare I forget Piskie in boots and the lovely Mr In boots who came all the way over here for a 10 litre box of Merlot

Nicos en France - I will get those seeds off to you soon and WATCH OUT - I will visit you one day

Hey and Lady Wayne and Bean - thank you for all the excitement and fun.

The fabulous Mods who keep us all in check and do loads of things behind the scenes that we never hear about.

There are so many peeps who I have failed to mention but a couple of others for me would be;

Lynda for the secret Santa
My secret Santa
All those lovely peeps who have exchanged seeds with me and all those who will in the future.
Everyone who is struggling with their garden - I know how you are feeling
and ... well, just about everyone on here.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[di]

As it's late & mine mind is tired I'm afraid I'm also gonna cheat & give you all a (((((crush))))
Despite the fact that I hold you all to blame for my recent downward spiral in the art of keeping a tidy house you've all helped to keep me sane now that both my little ones have started school,leaving me an often bored mummy home alone!!!Some of you guarantee bringing a few smiles to my day,others make me realise what I've got to be Thankfull for....& there's even a few I've had a good dose of gardening/chook advice from!!
I'm almost ashamed to admit that a year ago(pre~computer days) I'd have probably found you all sad for considering online aquaintances as friends...Jeez what did I know!!???Guess I'm now officially sad also!!!You're a great bunch & assuming none of you are axe weilding maniacs posing as friendly gardeners consider yourselves squeezed also by me!!xxx

[stephenwithap]
