        Hi @Banana Man good to see you on here :blue thumb:

        I reckon I know where you've been - to see his new tunnel. So you weren't blocked in by the road closures :rolleyespink:.

        How are A, J, and W?

        Best wishes to all :grphg:

          Good thanks mate all doing well, my eldest is 21 now and working and my youngest is 19 and working :hate-shocked:

          Had to go the long way round unfortunately but it was worth it. Cracking set up Nathan and his family have there at the allotment, it's really really nice. Wish it was a bit closer to me, I'd jungle a plot for weekend getaways :)

          Hope you're well, still want to come and live in your cabin :dbgrtmb:

            Mrs Shiney just said she remembers what your youngest (think he was about 4 years old) said when you were leaving - "That's the best garden centre I've ever been to" after he had cake and squash :heehee:.

            We haven't opened the garden since covid :dunno:. It's too much work organising everything, including 30 entertainers and 20 helpers, and we twice had to cancel at the last minute. :sad:

            You'll have to pop over for lunch one day :blue thumb:

              That would be awesome, he still has his teddy bear from that day too :smile:

              It is an awesome garden centre :love30:

              It's a lot of organising for sure, covid has changed the way we live our lives forever.
