Ive got a 'Juliet' balcony but in fact its a bit of metal to stop you falling out.
I think I should be able to attach a planter to it unless H and S says no.

There is a bluebell wood near me. Maybe I'll get my daughter to take me there.

Puss, Vera's right - there was a thread recently about spring flowers coming up early and some of the fellas were joining in. In fact I think it was a man who started it. I think most people are happy to talk about most things.

most have marion, butt here is still the odd 1 or 2 lurking i suspect,

somtimes SRS, people have had too many chances, :-) so its better to stay well clear, especially when lies are being sent round about you,

Am puzzzled as to why Puss would be embarrassed/or feel she was boring talking to a man re flowers? Old Titchmarsh springs to mind immediately. Is he a member - does he have time? Not just women who grow flowers or arrange them come to that.

I talk about flowers to men all the time ( well a lot lol) Merlin on here for roses, and my brother and male friend for gardening and plants in general..I talk DIY a lot to my (female) friend, she is well into decorating and plastering conversations lol.


Chris, if Mr Titchmarsh is looking in he is welcome to call round with his spade and some plants :-D

Stray I've given chances to people on here in the past and quite frankly I'm glad I did.

Sometimes people have to move on or if that's not possible, keep away from each other.

This general sniping on the boards by either party isn't good for anyone.

Chris, coincidentally after talking to "Martyn" every so often on the boards,I did feel a bit embarrassed today when I realised that I've been speaking to Sue all these years and calling her by her board name Martyn. Sue was very nice about it though.

Foggy believe it or not you can get a cream tea in Wessex and we can purchase clotted cream which makes the difference - so just look around and you will find........................ ;-)

Ours in this house come with homemade strawberry or raspberry jam!!!!!
