Why would someone send a friend request to me?

All I can say is that on our meet at Wentworth Garden centre I had a lovely slice of cake, swapped preserves and came away with a whole bunch of seeds and additional knowledge. Luckily the ladies have been kind enough not to mention my hunched back, continual drooling or thunderous flatulence! lol I talk to complete strangers everyday with my work, at least the bunch I met were genuinely nice, interesting to speak to and a pleasure to spend an hour with. Still I appreciate it wouldn't be everybodies cup of tea (however nice the cake- hint, hint Ginger!)

When I joined this forum, I never thought I'd have seeds hand delivered to me out of the boot of a car during working hours

No idea what that must have looked like.. boot opens, hand in a big envelope, passed over and quickly stuffed into my pocket!

Yeah, sorry bout that. It did look a little weird!

... if your query was why I didn't know a snappy phrase, I think that's just a lack of depth in my vocab

Now I doubt that very much!

I have made some lovely friends that I have met initially online. I also count some of my online friends as "real" even if I haven't met them in the flesh. ( none of my "real" mates have ever succeeded in teaching me to make pastry) I would have loved to go to Grapestock but I am a complete wuss about motorway driving

I guess it's just horses for courses, a few years ago I was convinced that if you met up with someone from online they would be mad...............hang on, you lot are

[Florence Fennel]

Oi, I 'eard that. How very dare you? Me dear? Mad dear? Well, I suppose if you put it like that, I must be.

You are not mad me dear Flo, you are just a tad eccentric darling!

[Florence Fennel]

Aww that's better, cheers love. Trouble is, not only am I eccentric, but TS says I'm "imaginery". Imagine. How very dare she? I can't comment either or I'd be chatting on the Rant Thread and I wouldn't dream of doing that.

I had noticed the absolute lack of chat over there

[Florence Fennel]

Oops, I had to do it, I had to, really I did.
