Virtual Gardeners Advent Calender

Apparently OH went scrumpying as a kid and then tried to sell them to his mum. Not sure he's progressed much sometimes!

Scrumping

Don't know if it really counts, but we got three buckets of apples from a tree outside a school in the nearby village. Posh people don't like free food it seems and the apples just rot. Have had various pies and two gallons of wine on the go. Free food always tastes better

OK Here's today's pressie! It's a voucher that makes sure the miserable weather is confined to when you're working at your paid job, and the good weather arrives when you have time to go to the lottie.

That a real cracker, if you'll pardon the pun.
Couldn't help myself.

Camelot

makes me think of (not the lottery) the musical - that song when it only rains at night. Perfect

12th December

You open todays window and find..................

A smiling garden gnome (no, not one of those pesky ornaments, but a real live garden gnome) who loves to dig and will double dig all your beds and use his little red wheelbarrow to get compost and put it onto your beds for you anytime you want him to!

[madderbat]

It's not one of the farty gnomes out of the panto is it?

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol MB!! I thought they were Farty Dwarves, not gnomes! lol!

[madderbat]

Oh yes, I do get confused these days. Doesn't take much, but I racked the blackberry wine today so my cheeks are a little aglow! oops, there I go again!

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol MB! I could do with some of that over here! Methinks the brewing stuff will have to be put to good use in the near future!

[madderbat]

I'm certainly hoping to sleep well tonight. have been full of cold since Sun, hope the vit c in the wine may cure it (together with the whiskey and lemon in a bit)! I must ease up after New Year, but for now am chuffed to bits and enjoying it all.

[yoanbob]

thats brill mrs D just what i needed.

13th DECEMBER:
a huge box of magic seeds, they never go out of date, and everytime you put your hand in you get what you needed, they allways grow well and pests dont like them.
enjoy

[Earthbabe]

Wow, I'm going to need a hat that says supervisor at this rate and I'll have to sort the kettle for tea making.

[Lesley Jay]

No need for the kettle Earthbabe we all have magic mugs that refill themselves with a lovely hot brew.

[Earthbabe]

Of course, forgot that LJ. Thanks for reminding me.
