  • valentines day...

    allotment holders / gardeners are usually a tight fisted bunch..this year treat your spouse / partner...

    buy them some cabbages - i ment to say flowers...

    take them somewear special -

    take them to homebase and buy them a new gardening fork...
    i ment to say take them out to lunch or evening meal...

    my wife used to be a allotment widow - i planted her some dailia's and lupins on the plot for her so she could use them for cut flowers now she has been encouraged to help even plan what she wants to grow.. who said allotment holders cant be romantic..

    I'd be very happy if my non gardening hubby took me to Homebase to spend money on gadgets. No luck but I did get roses chos and perfume, so just as happy!!

      Next year I've asked for petrol station carnations.


      We're having an Austerity Spring: no spending at all, the tax is due.
      He wanted to make me a dinner ~ I said why don't you do a cake (it's easier, and no chance of fish or bacon slipping in that somewhere*).

      After being called downstairs to find a recipe, then the flour, then the sugar, then the pan, then the baking powder, and having to go to the shop for plain chocolate ... I realised why I do all the cooking.

        There's something very gritty in the brownies ~ either he put the walnut shells in too, or it's ground glass

          Sure it's not, erm a "plant" ? Wasn't you growing such a thing on your plot?

            We men aren't subtle - too hard to spell - but the message generally gets there.

            I cannot think of a gardening definition of romance. Although I suppose a good cauliflower counts as a lovely bunch of flowers...?

                  A chap I dated in my early twenties, the first present he ever bought me was a bag of sprouts...I thought it was romantic ...see, I'm so easily pleased.

                    I purchased for Mrs Snuffer, a nice card, three hand carved granite owls for the garden and a rural scene jigsaw (for some strange reason Mrs Snuffer loves jigsaws).

                    Mrs Snuffer bought for me; a drain cleaning attachment for my pressure washer. Romance is alive and well in Nottinghamshire.

                      Ha snuffer!...the nearest thing my OH would give me is the actual jigsaw and a spare set of blades!!!!

                      We went out yesterday and bought steak,oyster mushrooms , a strawberry tart and a bottle of fizzy pink- so we'll be cooking together and eating by candle-light in front of the wood burner
                      OH is taking the day off from DIY on the house so we can go out together this afternoon.

                      Quality time and good nosh- can't beat it!

                              I'll be honest, valentines day, isnt for me. I just...well dont get me wrong i am romantic (see blog post for the proof), but the whole flowers and chocolates gaff, because you have to for this one day well... I like flowers at other times of the year but just not when there's a massive mark up (call my cynical).

                              We got each other a card, and i got mr husband a tshirt, i saw it yesterday and thought he would like it.

                              I'd honestly be happier with a pack of seeds instead of some flowers that'll die in a couple of days.

                              hahahahaha he's a lucky guy to have me
