PBF, do I have you?!

nothing today.... but I am planning to go to the farmer's market on 12th jan to see if I can get any plant bargains..... most recently I think my biggest bargain was my mum's xmas present. a hand made kindle cover made from vintage liberty peacock feather print fabric. My friend lisa gave me mate's ...

I love your description Mike lol.

sorry I've not been on much this year, it's been a hell of a time..... we've withdrawn soph from school, moved house and I had to leave some of my beautiful plants behind. If anyone fancies sending me some Ramsons bulbs, I'd appreciate it lol. I had a lovely patch going at the old house.... anyway, ...

most of the groups round here hold those parties lol. but I agree wih the welsh sentiments and am really worried at the moment because if wales and scotland go into regulation, what's going to happen to us in england? one of the reasons I took sophie out of school was exam stress! if we're going to ...

I won a greenhouse on ebay. it's my 30th birthday pressie from the husband, but I'm getting it a couple of months before my birthday lol.
anyway., I know you "need" to heat and/or insulate a greenhouse, but how can I do this for as little as possible? and preferably for free?

thaaaanks!

Mike, you're my hero, thanks so much!!
I'm planning on starting some we can drink this Yule, and having some to drink next summer solstace and probably Yule too.

I LOVE mead. the sweeter the better for me!
