    :wow:
    Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I'm sure that we will all feel at home very soon. We have or own cups, mugs, wine and beer glasses, Clueless. We are all fond of our food and share with each other freely, even if it has to be in the form of recipes. Sadly we can't download (or is it upload?) the actual cakes but we made do with pictures.
    I've been out today and planted my onion sets but will have to finish the job tomorrow. My knees are not what they were. My current and raspberry bushes are due to arrive next week so I'll be busy planting them. Thank goodness for the new raised beds!
    I'm off for a cuppa and then check other sites where I've left messages for 'Refugees'.
    :grphg: Goodnight all

            Good idea Jenny - once they have settled in for a week or so, we can then unleash ARMANDII on them :biggrin:

                We were told not to call them that anymore, remember - they are 'loveme jackets' or at least I am sure that is what they told me they were called when they gave me the pills.............................

                    Hi - Val, Feliz and Faraway - a very warm welcome :dancy:

                    I am also a member of the RHS, living close to Harlow Carr - but have never used their forums. There is loads of different interests here - I am sure you will find fellow souls.

                    I heard on Radio Feedback yesterday that the Beeb is closing its last Message Board (The Archers) for some money-saving reason. I can't see that it costs much to run a Board, and the feedback they will no longer have administrative access too will rob them of some valuable data. They said something like "Only 10,000 people use the [Archers] Message Board each month" ... which compared to the millions that listen to the radio is quite small I suppose, but strikes me as cutting off nose and then discovering they've lost face.

                    Having said that I never liked the Software / Layout that the RHS used for the message board - nor gardenweb.com either ...
