I expect you found some mischief to get up to indoors then Digger if it's too cold outside for you sue1002

  Reply | Contact Hi all, Sunny and cold here, and another frost forecast for tonight I got some potting on done in the GH yesterday Sue. My celery arrived from Medwyns this morning so I'm going to plant them in the poly, they look really healthy and I wouldn't want the frost to see them off! Will be spending most of the day in the GH I think - where is everyone? I've got a cheek haven't I, after being on the missing list myself these past few weeks

We will be off into town a little later than usual and will meet up with a friend with her three boys and off to the cinema - it must be at least 20 years since I last went! Have a good day everyone and will catch up again later. sue1002

I have been digging up the earth in the runner bean troughs and got out 2kg of potatoes - what a bonus!! Hope you have a good time at the cinema, I expect you will notice a few changes after 20 years especially the admission price  -Richard

  sue1002 Location: Ipswich, Suffolk Joined on: 06 Sep 2005 Posts: 9,475	Reply | Contact  Thanks Richard, we had a lovely time at the cinema and yes, it's certainly changed since I last went.  It was £7.40 adult price and the last time I went it was about £3. It's just started bucketing down here so it looks like I got back at the right time sue1002

  Reply | Contact Hi all, Ha ha I keep finding tatties too Richard when I'm digging in different parts of the veggie beds! What did you see at the flicks Sue? We went to see 'The Artist' the other night, but have to say the only thing I enjoyed in the film was the dog, I found the rest quite boring! We paid a fiver each, but I guess that's living in the sticks for you Hee hee went to Wilko's this morning for the buckets for my leeks - I got 15 and the manageress asked why I wanted so many, I explained about the leek growing. As I was leaving the check out, she shouted over "good luck with your leeks", and the lad on the till's face was a picture, he said what sort of leaks have you got - I said not 'leaks' I'm growing some leeks - he said, good god, I was thinking you probably need a new roof, if you've got that many leaks.......................................

You will have to write that story into the newspapers Hope you had a good time at the flicks Sue  I bought one of those telescopic long poles for cleaning the upstairs wimdows from Aldi today and will use it with a paint roller on the end when I need to paint the gable end again. -Richard
