Hi LL. Its a year since you started this and we seem to have lost some of the originals along the way! I wonder whether anything interesting has happened to them during the year Come back and tell us

None here but got a text from a so called 'friend' wishing me a "lovey-dovey romantic day" with my partner.... errrrrr ( I think she sent the same one to everyone on her friends list IYKWIM

Not sure how the cat feels about that, although she does like her cuddles

I think the idea of the thread is good. It is nice to meet people passionate about gardening and everything else. I am going to RHS London Plant Fair on 26th of March, anybody else is going? We all can meet somewhere, have a tea/drink?

Sadly Lilly, it's a bit far for me to go...I hear stories of mythical offers of train trips to London for single figure amounts, but everywhere on the net it is all three figures ! I will only manage the Birmingham meet-up at the Botanical Gardens on 14th April...and even there I may be forced to leave my faithful shadow behind...
As for developments over the last year...I bought a Valentine Card...but didn't send it.

I usually travel in UK by National express bus, takes longer but possible to buy tickets for £ 1-9 in advance. Last time I took my mother-in-law (and she is nearly 70) to Southampton for £ 8 a bus ticket. Saying that, her back was alright then, not so much now.

At least you're ready for next year Sno!!

At least you're ready for next year Sno!!

This is the thought I console myself with every year, Veggie...but it doesn't cheer me any when I find myself ambushed by yet another d--n Valentine Card as I rake amidst the debris of my very-much-lacking-the-woman's-touch lifestyle...

Hmm, National Express ? Always wanted to use them Lily, ever since I heard that song about them...The Divine Comedy - National Express video - YouTube but hadn't even remembered they exist. I must look online...

I must say, that is not the video I always imagined when I listen to those lyrics on the radio !! (Although there are definite hints of a life described to me by a friend with mood swings who "goes for holidays" ! )
