    Afternoon all,
    I picked up the above book at a charity shop this week for 50p:dbgrtmb:
    I love these little books although this is only my 2nd. Don't know if any of you know about them but here's a few things that are in them (am putting the original author so hopefully I'm not breaking any copyright laws etc)...

    'Ladies like gifts of florist's flowers. Lady gardeners like a sack of good manure' - Pam Brown

    'Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow cycles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace' - May Sarton

    'A gardener is never shut out from his garden,wherever he may be. Its comfort never fails. Though the city may close about him. amd the grime and soot descend upon him, he can still wander in his garden, does he but close his eyes' - Beverley Nichols

    Aren't they lovely sentiments?

    cheers
    PS Hope I've posted this is the right place, still catching up :)
