Bren we've been doing that for ages too! My OH and his brother swap the same birthday card every year...it's not even out of the wrapping! And no it's not because we are Scottish or related to rary, just wise!Originally posted by Bren In Pots View PostRary you should do like we do and use the same cards every year

I did that with a card for three years, then OH twigged on what I was doing, so that was the end of thatOriginally posted by Bren In Pots View PostRary you should do like we do and use the same cards every year
it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Happy Monday evening
Most of the snow has disappeared but its still blummin cold. Evenings are lighter though and soon to be an hour even lighter
We do the card swapping thing too. My Mum is very good, she'll say "I've put your Birthday/Mother'sDay/Chr****as card on the mantlepiece" then, when I visit I put a few extra words on it, each year. A new card would end up in recycling but the old cards are kept - makes them more meaningful, I think - and I'm not a Scot or a Cardi.Comment

Good Morning All Cold and dry, just a bit of snow left. Three day week for me, I have some leave left to take before April and it's use it or lose it. Have a good day

Morning all, bright(ish) and light drizzle but looking south over the Trent valley it looks deep blue/black.
Happy Tuesdays (just double checked that it is Tuesday...)

Morning All
+1.5° but a bitter wind, snow is proving to be a bit more stubborn than that at the beginning of the month.
Hope you all have a safe and warm day

Anyway, the seeds and spuds from France have landed. The potatoes are small, in the French style, but absolutely perfect. Tiny chits are just forming, so I need to get them out and sprouting a bit more. Dead pleased. The shallot sets are bigger than I was expecting. If I can grow anything like these, I won't be cursing at peeling them for a change. Got a free gift, yet another packet of tomato seeds. Brown Berry, delicious and a heavy cropper if you believe everything you read on the Web. Gah! My plans to grow realistic numbers of tomato plants are stymied every year!
Bleak mid-winterish day today: grey, windy, feels like it could rain or snow any minute. Might get the fire going soon.
Have a good day, everyone.Comment

Morning its good to save and reuse cards especially home made ones, my fave b/day card from our grandkids is 12 years old so their writing has altered a lot

Morning all and we have a lovely sunny morning here.
Temp is just 3 deg so it's very cold.
Have to go to a family birthday lunch today so unfortunately that will leave me no time foe a walk or gardening.
At least the sun is shining as it was yesterday so at least the potato patch is drying out.
Have a good day all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
