    Hi everybody.
    Yes, it,s Robert. Remember me? It,s been awhile since I have posted and I would like to kick of again on GC with your permission.
    Not sure what happened. Just drifted away I guess and progressed with other avenues in life.
    I see some of the old crew are still on site and a few new names as well.
    What have I been up to I hear you ask?
    I have written a book.
    I have been busy with my photography.
    I have been building web sites (My own)
    I have been gardening of course
    I have had a little health scare (hopefully sorted)
    I have lost a younger brother (sad times)
    I have lost friends and neighbours
    I am still with my wonderful wife who I have known for 53 years
    and enjoying retirement.
    Garden has not changed a lot, just a different selection of plants every year.
    Thats it from me for now. Don,t want to bore you.
    Later my friends.

              Mighty kind of you Kandy. Never forgotten GC. It,s true what they say about being retired. The days just fly by. Winter gives one a bit of break and catch up on the stuff you have left behind but really should catch up on.
