    Well she might have done Honey Bee and saved the postage! But I know yours was in an envelope. LofL had the envelopes and her seeds ready when I got here, just had to pop my stones in. It is a pity that they didn't get in to see you and have a cuppa, but they are pressed for time.

    LofL phoned me yesterday, van all packed and they were getting the ferry over to the mainland about 9.30am today, so by now they are on the road along to the next ferry.

    Be calling me again tomorrow late afternoon/early evening from Guarda where they will be spending the night. Then they will be back here in Casadinho about 5-6 Tuesday afternoon.

    Hi Guys!!!!

    Unfortunately we have had a problem with missing post - so I haven't received my stones... (and other stuff :mad: :mad: hubby's car park pass, Kiddies magazines, etc... )

    so.... if anyone has any spares... any chance I could have 1 or 2???

    Thanks :cool:

    These are the two last red peaches from this year's crop which we brought down to Portugal to upload them on here for you to see the fruit first hand.

    My stones were potted today and put outside so we will see what happens next year, I just hope the squirrels don't put peanuts in with them! :D

    I've still got more stones, if need be ...

    I gave me three-year old tree away to my friend nearby ... he can look after the tree I decided and I'll take the peaches as and when I need them! :D :rolleyes:

    Nothing here either - I've followed instructions, completely forgotten about them!

    How about the invasion, though? Mine's going according to plan.... at least, they're all still alive and looking ok :rolleyes:

    Just for what it's worth, nothing here either on two I put in ... we'll have to wait till K-G comes on and gives advice or we're all too impatient!
