Hi Guys

Having a tearfull moment..........

Oh dear, hope it passes soon. Hugs being sent by me and mine.

Hi folks
I reckon that up here in the East Highlands we've had the best of the weather this year. My growing season is way way better than last, though the lackof rain has held my carrots, onions and spring onions back, but they'll come - dunno when but they'll come.

Humph - can you send our weather back please

[Finedon.Dandy]

Thanks for that hug Shirl.

Was sat contenplating things whilst pulling up clover from the bank out front - was fine till I came in then felt kinda lonesome - silly cos kids wouldnt even be up at this time anyhow!

Made a mistake with our peas - father-in-law said to not pick em till the pods filled out more (they have now started to yellow and dry a bit) - forgot to mention they were a petit pois style. Had some tonight and they were like bullets!

Ah, I remember that feeling Tammy. Have another glass of wine - I am offering up a home-brewed Sauvignon Blanc (Beaverdale kit) - jolly pleasant if I say so myself.

Without wanting to sound selfish, not a chance !! So far, I have had no disasters that are weather related, unless you count the infestation of red spider mite in my tunnel. With the exception of the carrots, spring onions and onions ( especially the red bolting variety !) all my crops are positively outstanding (from my point of view). Standouts at the moment include cukes, new potatoes, broccoli, peas and broadies.

LOL, my petits pois showed great promise - they started to produce at around 3 inches high. They have reached a grand 6 inches tall and I have given up on them - the Alderman have had sweeter produce

Dont mind if I do! *clink* cheers! I am drinking Bor Forras 2006 Hajos-Baja Hungary, given to us by my Grandfather who buys most of his wine from Pieroth who this is from - the rep even rung them to see how my grandmother was after her op!

I'm going to have a glass of homemade Elderflower Champagne, lol. Stuff's rocket fuel but tastes nice.

[shirlthegirl43]

Cheers folks. I am off for a bath then early night. For some strange reason I am finding myself awake watching TV at odd times of the night so I need to get a bit of kip in while I can

Take care all.

Oh dear, hope you are better soon. Well done on cooking dinner! Have you got what Madmax has? Sore throat and hellish cough?

It's a bad bad cough but as I've also got asthma it's the not being able to breathe that really gets you down.

the OH is on a pint of Fiddler's Elbow and I;m on the licorice tea with hone.

Off for a bath in a bit as well; the coughing hurts so bad that my head hurts now every time I cough.

Madmax says 'I know that f@#$%ng feeling' he has asthma too.

[Cloud]

Yeah I got a bad cough but I think mines due to 40 fags a day!

I think we are more susceptible; he's right it's not a good thing to have.

Hope he's better soon; I hope my doc tomorrow has some sort of solution...
