Excellent news, welcome back, glad you have been able to come to terms with
that business and can now treat it with the comtempt it deserves.

Now we need to entice other gardeners back to the garden shed. :-)

Thanks Bob, your kind words are appreciated. I hope others that are
not posting or who have left will return; as urg is the richer for them
and I think we can all move on a bit older and wiser. However, I do
have to say that I acknowledge that my gardening expertise leaves much
to be desired but I enjoy trying and it's like a miracle when I do
something for the first time in the garden and it works.

I took urglers advice about my strawberry beds and weeds and came to
the conclusion, as I was advised and of course, I ignored, that I had
to replant the lot to get rid of the weeds and I am so pleased that I
did.

Kind regards

Judith

Welcome back Judith. There are certainly others I do not miss but I'm
glad you are here.

That's so sweet of you June, thank you. If I could have just one wish
and wave my magic wand it would be for you and a friend of mine, to
start talking again. Anyway, how is the dragon drum?

Judith, you have lost me. Do you mean when I did dragon-boat racing
(only banging the drum, not rowing but very scary) in Docklands several
years ago? Other than that I don't know what you mean, unless it is
something to do with Susie and her lovely dragons.

Yes, when you were banging that drum thing, remember you posted a
picture of you sitting in the boat, or did you send me a picture I
can't remember but it was in Docklands.

Has Susie got dragons, what sort of dragons? - real dragons?

I must have sent you a picture. It is a very long time ago and I
haven't repeated the experience. I really thought the boat was going to
sink. I had imagined myself sitting at the end of the boat, well down
in the bows, banging a drum (and looking a bit like Nobu from the Mighty
Boosh, which wasn't around then but you get my drift). As you will
remember from the picture, I was perched like a small, fat monkey high
up above the rowers on a ridiculously small seat. All my family and
several friends were there to watch so I had to go ahead and afterwards
was glad I did. The drum was roped to the boat in case of an upset and
I had to shout to the rowers and bang the drum to keep their strokes in
time. Wouldn't do it again though.

Susie makes the most beautiful dragons. She is very clever at it.
Lovely porcelain ones.

I remember you saying much the same at the time, you didn't look like
a fat monkey, far from it, who is Nobu? and what is Mighty Boosh???

I might have word with Susie about that, I've got her email address.

Just off to have a refill of Sauvignon Blanc
