        Thank you all so very very much.

        I must admit. I have been down in the dumps a bit lately. GC forum is a real blessing to me. Lots of like minds, no abuse and always a sympathetic ear. Thank.

          So very late and equally so very sorry!! Had a tree fall down which caused a power cut and left us with no phone or internet for almost 3 days. :sorry:to have missed your birthday, hope that you managed to share part of your day with some family.
          Love and virtual hugs to you Mike.:wub2:xx

            As an infrequent poster (who's she, I hear you cry)... I've popped into the forum after a busy festive season and have spotted that you have celebrated your birthday this week. Not wishing to ask how old you are ('tis rude, innit?!), I would like to send you a huge
            Happy Birthday greeting, Mike.
            Besides, it's a rule, didn't you know, that everyone on a forum can celebrate for a whole week, at the very least!

            ps Please don't feel too down, even I can sense how very much loved you are here in GC.
            Am I not right?
            Take care of yourself, I hope you find joy in your garden this coming year.

                Err... 69 + 20% vat = 84 years, ish?
                OK, still a young pup then!
                :)
