    That's very kind of you but we've been married for over 50 years - and lived in this house for 44 years! :old:

    It was a different era then. I seem to remember one of my teachers trying to encourage me to go out and play with the buses. Can't remember the purpose of that experiment. :scratch: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

      I must take a photo of that asparagus. Sorry to say, it's gone floppy. So one of you needs to come down and sort it out. :rolleyespink:

          I'm starting to enjoy this forum for its quirky humour......suits me just fine! :snork:
          My post re clockwise/anticlockwise was posted with tongue slightly in cheek.

          Btw, I too am over 21. :old:

                                Wool for tying in is such a good idea. Next time I need to tie in something delicate I will use it. Thanks for the tip!
