    Not long now until we are digging out our seed packets, dusting off our lawnmowers, and checking those hoses for leaks.......

    But, in the meantime, its that special time of year when we especially remember our loved ones and our friends, and with that in mind I wanted to start a thread to some of the best friends that anyone could ask for.

    Over the past year, you all have given me advice on all things ranging from garden, health, work and even photography; you all have given me laughs, smiles, chuckles and some fantastic debate in a mature, adult fashion.

    I am eternally grateful for the help, and for the company that we have all shared (and hopefully will continue to share); normally, it would be customary to name names, but that is simply not possible or appropriate to me here, as much because I am horrified at the thought that I would miss someone out......

    To all of you, thank you, and may I wish you (and yours) a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. :grphg:

                What a lovely post. As a relative newcomer to GC I have to say how welcoming everyone has been and how helpful everyone is - also how much you all make me laugh too. Seasons greetings, Merry Christmas and wishing everyone a wonderful and fruitful/flowerful/vegetableful(?) New Year.
