Hi Jana, welcome to the nuthouse!
Is she really your big sis. Piskie or just one of your alter-egos?!

Welcome Jana. Watching the "recorded" Gardener's Rest Panto will give you an idea of what you are letting yourself in for .

Piskie is well known for talking for England bless her, that's why she keeps losing her voice but can you tell her this ? Not a bit of it, but she is very enthusiastic about gardening and she can be very good at livening up party's with all her chatter. Once again its nice to meet you all.

we were lucky as kids in that Pa was a first rate allotmenteer and we both have him to thank for giving us the passion we have for all things growing.

He decided to shuffle off in 2000, selfish blighter, and I often find myself asking him questions on what to do when etc - he usually answers when he's put his pint down - yep guys, they even have it 'up there' or is that just how I remember him
