Hello from melton mowbray!!

Post: # 62775Post dingleberrydell »

hi, my name is helen, i'm 36 and i have been visiting here for a while and have picked up some great tips, advice and ideas, so i thought it was about time i came and joined! we like growing our own veg and fruit, although this year has been a bit dismal with the weather around here, and we're just in the middle of building some raised veg beds, so hopefully next years crops will be better. we do our best to recycle what we can, and are composting mad!! i cried when i saw our first compost! it was amazing!(sad ,i know!)my partner suffered a brain injury in nov 2004 and is unable to work now, so the garden is special to us as paul enjoys being out there, we have 3 girls aged 18, 6 and 4 and they all love gardening and recycling too. me and the girls also love the stars and stargazing and i got my first proper telescope off ebay for my birthday last saturday! Anyway lovely to meet you all. take care

Hello,

I used to live not far away from you in a village called Seagrave (other side of the Fosse Way) ... pork pies & stilton, two of the UK's greatest assets!

I also loved your name. It conjures up balmy, summer days.
