    Good morning all.

    It's been a couple (or so) years since I was last active on here, life and a few curveballs got in the way. I have always been about in the distance, reading threads, seeing how you all are and how your fabulous gardens have been growing @Doghouse Riley, love what you've done since you removed your Koi pond; I just haven't posted. I was embarrassed to post for a while as it really has been some time since I last did. I have though kept in touch with @Beckie76 and she told me to stop being a ninny (quite rightly) and to post!. So, I have..

    I'm still happily pottering away in my garden, and so love being outside.

    So, just wanted to say Hello again.. Happy gardening all.xx

                        Lol @shiney Old is quite apt now. (shhhhh, don't tell anyone but I had a milestone birthday last year! :hate-shocked:) And, I added another year to that in May! Madness I tell you...


                        Thanks for all the welcomes everyone. I shall certainly endeavour to make a nuisance of myself going forward.:dbgrtmb:

                        :ThankYou:

                                  Thoughts on the statement 'a good covering of weeds is as good as a crop of green manure'?
