I think it was fear of what you'd do to him LJ

Well done although as you've been here longer than most of us I guess it should be GrandMOM

PS, Celebrate with a plate of roasties

Very well deserved Lesley - its no wind up!

Not just for the last month but for the last twelve months (and longer!) you've been a much deserving member having given so much of your time to maintaining this site and making it the friendliest, happiest and most knowledgeable gardening website. Not only that you have always provided wonderful growing, and of course, cookery tips and links, and have a great sense of humour.

Well done and enjoy your month!

Enjoy it LJ. I second, third etc. all the comments made (apart maybe from the roast pots one!! )

You do deserve it. Two banners at once makes you look extra important though.

Have a good month and enjoy your MOM pack. Poetry is not obligatory although if you can top what we have already had you'll neet a Poet of the month banner too!

No way will I be forcing any of my poetry on you all. Might find a link to a good one.

Thanks Earthbabe!

I think my timesense is going - I noticed the banner and posted under New Year chat, then this thread started. Any way, congrats again
