T'was a very nice way to spend an afternoon indeed. I'm still full! Hardly took any time at all to get there - if anyone else wants to meet up, I'd be happy to make that little journey again.

Like you said piskie, it's be nice to do some kind of vine-b-cue once the summer really gets going.

You're welcome Su, thanks for the seeds in return. Very envious of your veg/fruit - I'm still convinced they're on steroids!

Just sat here watching Wimbledon having mown the lawn, planted the flowers I've grown from seeds (Foxgloves, Love in a mist and "Big Daisies") kindly donated to me by laineylou. Trimmed me bush and tidied up all the shredded leaves as a result of the recent winds.

All in all, a top day off.

Thanks for making me feel at ease - I was very nervous. No idea why.

Thanks Ladies!

(oh, apart from the two bites I received - the same bug that got me last time I think, same "hole" bites. One on each leg.)

What fun you all had, looks great - nice flowers Piskie and now KK knows what you look like.
And Wayne, has anyone told you that you look a bit like Ross Geller from Friends, cause I think you do even though he can't be anywhere near as tall as you.

Sure that wasn't Hazel at the Hill Wayne, or p'raps they both donated the same seeds

So... you know what to do - listen to the Lady Wayne and take some antihistamine tabs this time - unless... you want a couple more days off work

You're right, t'was Hazel. My memory's shocking - ask LadyWayne! Sorry, thanks Hazel.

No idea if I have any antihistmine tablets left, I did put cream on straight away though (well, after I'd got in the shower).

Funny you mention the Ross thing, my Mum has always said that (well since Friends started), I've always said she's mad and that I look nothing like him....

Thanks for the pictures, but I would have thought that you would have sold them to "Hello" or one of the others.
