Say, that brings it back. We haven't heard from her for a long time, it
seems.


She gave up urg forever after the great flame war. All those involved
were plonked by her including me. I'm not sure if she is still in R'dam.
She was trying to sell her house and move to France. The last I heard
she had cleared the flat roof, because she thought her roof top garden
was putting off potential buyers.


Oh right, I do remember that. I've mostly managed to put those days on
urg out of mind...


Martin, it seems likely I'm spending a WE in Rotterdam in Feb, I'm
attending a grafting workshop in Boskoop. Any suggestions for gardens
(Trompenburg is the obvious one I suppose) or other sites to see in the
area? The workshop is a Saturday, we'll have Friday and Saturday
evening, along with some time Sunday morning, free.


If it is at the end of February then the Keukenhof is an obvious place
to visit. Maybe too far for a Sunday morning?



You're right, it would be too far. Anyway they don't open until 23/3
according to the site. Thanks though.
