    Good morning Kandy and everyone,

    Happy March 1st{St Davids Day}

    We had a good start yesterday morning and thought that we had seen the last of the rain but it was short lived as once it started it didn't stop until the evening ready for our village walk. :D

    Spoke on the phone to my sister in Devon and they had a glorious day down there so she managed to hang her washing out to dry and got her lawns cut :P

    Hope you are all well and looking forward to another good day :)

    Good morning Kandy, woo and everyone,

    It's not raining out there :thumb: and all is right with the world. :)

    My back is a lot better and I hope to be able to do some light work in the garden. Just under three months to open day :heehee:.

    I received my insurance renewal notices on Saturday (house, contents and two cars) and it had gone up by £200. So I did some shopping around yesterday for better prices. I've always done my insurance through a local broker who is very good. Each year he sends me the renewal notices from the insurance companies and I then shop around.
    I got back to him with the quotes I had received from other insurers and he has dropped all the prices back to last year's. :yahoo:

    An hour on the phone saved me £200 :dbgrtmb:

    It's a nice day :D

    Y'all have a good one. :heehee:

    Good morning everyone,

    Woo i would love to own the rose in my Avatar,but sadly haven't been able to locate a nursery that sells them.A breeder would make a fortune if one could be bred with the same design.Do you know what rose it is?

    Shiney,sounds like you have got a good deal on your insurance policies.We have been with the same one for years with the house insurance and diffrent ones for the cars and caravan etc but Mr Kandy deals with that side of things so i let him sort it out although i do keep telling him he ought to shop around for the best deals :D

    We had a nice dry day yesterday although it was bittrely cold and we did have a sleet flurry on Monday.Not sure what today will bring as i can't be bothered with looking art the foirecast any more on the telly as they always get it wrong. :P

    Have a good day everyone and keep warm :)

    Morning Woo,i do hope that once the sunshine comes back that you start to feel a bit brighter{scuse pun}in yourself.I always feel much happier when we can feel the warmth on our bodies :D

    Yes you are correct about the Tudor Rose but as i said it would be nice if you could buy one of that style as it would grace any stately home or castle. :D

    Hope your day is all that you want it to be :)

    Good morning Kandy, woo and everyone,

    It is 2 degrees out there this morning but the wind and damp air is making it feel much colder. I've had a wander round the garden and it's good to see things starting to flower. A few daffs have just opened and some bergenias that haven't flowered for about 5 years are starting to flower :thumb:.
    Tracey has brought us some bunches of agapanthus to split and pot up for sale at our open day. Some of the ceanothus look as though they have been killed off by the cold winter but the hellebores appear to have improved because of it. :dbgrtmb:

    I'll do a little bit of pottering around but will take it easy.

    Keep well and have a great day :D

    Good Evening All [late again] :D

    It has been cold here and my son and his family came back from St Lucia today. I have missed them! The temperature difference was a bit of a shock for them :heehee:

    My daffs are nearly out at last. The birds are choosing their nest sites in the garden too. I cannot wait to get out there now.

    Good morning everyone

    Jazmine have you heard from Rosa lately?I sent her a letter and phoned her well before xmas and for the last few weeks have been trying to ring her again but all i get is a voice message saying the phone is switched off and to either try again later or send a text message but no pint in texting if she no longer has the phone switched on :rolleyespink: I expect she is getting on with her new life so hasn't got time for much else :D

    Shiney,good to see you are out and about in the garden.We have had either rain this week or it has been too bitter with the cold wind although we managed half an hour outside yesterday teatime which is a start.My winter flowering iris are putting on a good show finally and the chicken pellets i sprinkled round them will give them a boost even if they did pong a bit,phew.:D

    Penny you seem to have mixed weather where you are at the moment.Do you watch Ice road Truckers at all?

    Woo hope you are feeling better today :thumb:

    Mira you sound like you have finally found the sun we have all been looking for this winter :D

    Mr Kandy is going back to work today and he heard yesterday that his mates have been dropping like flies with colds etc and everyone we meet seems to have them as well.Touch wood I am ok at the moment apart from stiff and painful hands :P

    Hope you all have a great day :)

    Good morning everyone,

    I had to scrape the ice off the car last night but the frost seems to have gone today. Yesterday I only wandered round the garden as the wind was so bitter but the greenhouse was quite warm in the sunshine :thumb:

    Kandy, I've checked another forum that rosa goes on and she hasn't been on there since May!

    I'm feeling a bit lazy today so don't think I'll do much - apart from the three meetings I've got. :heehee:

    Have ag reat day :D

    Morning friends :)
    Hi Kandy I was wondering the exact same thing. I got a xmas card, then a letter so I phoned her. She spoke as if she was hoping to get up and running again and get back on GC .I haven't heard anything since but I haven't tried to ring her since. It's difficult to know really but I know you were a valued friend of hers so I am a little concerned she has not made contact .Maybe try writing again? :what:

    Shiney, it is freezing cold here too and I am getting fed up with it, I am not an indoors person at all :cry3: I like the sound of a warm greenhouse! Can you put a chair in there? Would Oscar let you? :heehee: Give my kind regards to Mrs Shiney please.

    Have a good day everyone :D
