Hi there

Hi All

I've been lurking round the site for a while but I thought I would introduce myself.

I've had my lottie in Warrington, Cheshire for about a year and have been fighting the horsetail battle ever since unwisely rotovating it.

I'm in my 30's, have a husband and a cat called Dr Whiskers who was rescued when my next door neighbours moved and left him... he's my avatar picture and is definately head of the household

In the past I've grown palms and carniverous plants but I've moved into edibles now. Oh and I rescue abandoned baby hedgehogs in winter and care for them until they can be released in Spring.

I also have a blog which no-one seems to read.

Look forward to talking with you all

Hello Gilwig and welcome to the vine, I rescued my cat Mr Jenkins (Jinny to his friends) he's my Photo, 4 years ago or should I say he adopted me 4 years ago, he's never looked back, spoilt rotten he is but not a very good gardener . Look forward to having a nosy at your blog.

Hi Gilwig and welcome to the vine. There's loads of good stuff on here and we're all quite nosey, so we'll be in and out of your blog!

If you drink the cider vinegar does that mean you won't get scab?

Hi Gilwrig - welcome to the vine

Nice blog and I did read some of it - just wondered as the title's photography related, are into photography?

[gilwrig]

Hello All - thanks for your kind replies .

The reason my blog is called photography widow is because my husband is a photographer and I get dragged round to all manner of places when I would rather be on my plot.......

My obsession with cider vinegar is a joke within our house. I quite like alternative health and I managed to cure myself from ezcema with it last year after having years of steriod cream from the doctor. The hubby is a non-believer though.

Look forward to chatting with you all and having a nose at your websites/blogs etc.
