GARDENING BOOKS- PLEASE READ

Yes he is!!!!!!!!!

 

There are a lot of people from this forum that are already on there

 

What can I say?, except move over, Shiney and Ziggy, and make room for me for me on the step!!
I agree entirely with what PeterS said out the market for this type of book.

 

But be sure not to sit halfway down the stairs. Thats reserved for Robin.

the frog looks vaguely familiar.

I suppose it makes you feel a bit green.

The song takes me back to my childhood when I read it as a poem by A.A.Milne. It also takes me back to my second childhood watching The Muppets. My heros are Statler and Waldorf . I always wanted to be grumpy like them and Mrs shiney says that I have succeeded

 

I remember the Wooden tops [please say nothing], Rag, Tag and Bobtail. I hate to say this but when in the
RAF I used to walk into the Squadron's accommodation block on a Wednesday afternoon and find the TV room packed with Great Britain's Finest - watching Magic Roundabout! Why should England tremble??!

Not only did I shed a tear watching and listening to the song but I was reduced to being unable to say a word
'cos I had a frog in my throat - just had to say that!

 

You didn't mention anything about Muffin the Mule. I think that's still illegal
