    @ARMANDII well we are all so pleased you are back and pleased to hear from you. Hoping you are going from strength to strength as each day goes by. :)

    i am missing a second flowering this year after cutting it back to practically nothing. It had got so so heavy and had so much dead stuff underneath it. Now I’ve put up supporting wires so it should be happier. Its such a great clematis.

        I can’t remember the last time I was so happy :hapfeet::hapfeet::hapfeet:I’ve just bumped into @roders in the supermarket, I asked if there was any signs of our @ARMANDII & he said ‘yes’ :yahoo::dancy::hapydancsmil:, my voice went all wobbly & my eyes welled up with tears & my yummy turned with delight! I did a little happy dance :hapfeet:. Armandii I’m so pleased you are back, a little slower you might be & easily tired.....don’t worry we will be gentle with you! :heehee:. You were greatly missed at shineyland & on here my friend.
        Just you look after yourself & get better, I hope the treatment makes you better really soon.
        Big hugs & all my love & best wishes XXXXXX :wub2::hapydancsmil:

              Thanks Becki:love30:, but you haven't been taking the GC Blue Pills then have you?:dunno::heehee:

              I've always been a little slower, mentally, than everyone else anyway, Beckie, so no change there.

              To be honest, Beckie, I was reduced to tears myself when I returned because of all the many and so kind, generous, posts and pms that were sent as I just expected to slip back in unnoticed but loli:love30: spotted me and wound up the Air Raid Siren:hate-shocked:.
              But I cannot thank all of the GC Gang enough who are such a special, and I mean that sincerely, bunch of guys and gals who I love as much as I love GC........and sometimes words are not enough when you want to express your need to say thank you to someone and, for me, this is one of those occasions, but to everyone Thank You...........I'm now going to make a Mug of Tea and have a little cry:cry3:, not ashamed to, for all the support I have had since my return........like a bad penny:heehee:

                  I was stroking the asparagus, it was pert but not as long as @shiney ‘s :nonofinger:.
                  Shame I was in such a hurry (& in my work gear) @roders we could have all gone for a quick coffee up the town. Good to see you both

                    This is what I love about GC, it’s a gang of people whom many have never meet but there’s a lot of friendship, love & general kindness....anywAy thats enough...I’m getting a bit sentimental now :oopss:
                    I shall make a cuppa too, even if we can’t be together we can have tea across the miles :ccheers:! ;there’s tea in those glasses honest! :wub2:
