    Hi Guys and gals
    Just to let you know I am still around, if a little sluggish.
    Not beeen around much laterly for several reasons.
    One being I have a few health issues at the moment that has slowed me down a tad.
    I`m off to the hospital on the 27th for tests and then I should know more of whats going on.
    As for the garden.... Its hadly been touched since last august and I have decided this year to forget about veg growing and plant bushes and flowers instead. I just cant cope with it at the moment.
    Anyways... I`m not far awayand I feel sure will get going agian in awhile.

    I notice the "Whats Missing" game has got you guys stumped...!

    I`m sure theres a thread somewhere re "Early spring"
    I spotted a daf in flower the other day and a few bunches of snaw drops and crocus and blossom on a tree or two.
    It`s a crazy world.

    Had an emergency with Celia next door a week or two back. (104 years old)
    She decided to take a bath without using her bath lift and on trying to get out disjointed a hip...OUCH.
    Well... our emergency services decided it was not an emergency and it was about an hour plus before the crew turned up to help get her out the bath.. I had to check her vitals all the time while she was stuck in the bath. After several days in hospital she is back home as stubbon as ever and stiull refusing any social help. The other day she comes around as says "Roberet, I think I have a leak in my bathroom" It was sunday night and sure enough there was the water poring through the ceiling !
    It all happens down this street...

    Bye for now guys.. catch up with you all later.

            Yes, you have been sorely missed, Robert. I really am sorry to hear you're not so well and maybe changing to flowers and shrubs is no bad thing.......plenty of colour and less maintenance, well that's the theory!! You know you have all our best wishes on the Forum to get back to your normal self. Just take care of yourself and come back to us soon.:D

                You had been missed Robert, sorry to hear about your health worries and poor old Celia next door. Hope you bounce back soon.

                I kept back some of your Amish Paste seed from last year's Tomato crop and wondered if you wanted some more this year, well now I know you are having a break I'll grow another crop (I intended to anyway) and get some more seeds for 2013 for you :dbgrtmb:
