Open gardens
Used to love visiting gardens with my father many moons ago.
Brooksby agricultural college open day was a highlight, Ingarsby Hall also was worth a visit though open days were rare. My wife and I turned up at Barnsdale a little late so will try again this weekend. Can anyone recommend any gardens within easy reach of east Leicestershire? Feel the need to cut down the rounds of golf and get 'ate and abate' :0) -- Rog http://www.rog.richieward.com |

That lists gardens open for charity throughout the whole country, with dates and times. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) Devon County Show 17-19 May http://www.devoncountyshow.co.uk/ |

The country wide ones are fairly expensive, and I am very careful with my money!(:-) |

Thanks Alan will check at Barnsdale tomorrow The yellow book cost 16 squids! I've got it - just tell me where you're heading and I could check what's on for you. It will save you time and money :o) Just booked Tatoon Park (and did Harrogate a couple of weeks ago and Harlow Carr). Harrogate was such a disappointment. Full of tat stalls - the amount of rubbish compared with the amount of plants on display was terrible. Ate a gorgeous bacon and mushrooms butty though. Anyone's doing Tatoon on the 18th July (RHS members only)? We could meet for a cuppa cha :o) |

It costs £7.99 and if you have it you should know that. Oops. True, it's 7.99. Don't know why I thought it was more expensive. I recently bought a few books (notably the Metric handbook by Tott and Hadler which set me back 27 quids!). But you wouldn't now what to do with it. No, we don't put jam on it. Below find a picture of my hand, my ngs book and this reply to you on my computer made 2 minutes ago. Is this proof enough your majesty? http://cjoint.com/?flmMSPjh3q |

I'm really not interested in photos of you or in your puerile insults. None of them. Yet again, you've leaped in, given duff information and perhaps would have put some people off buying a very useful book that assists charity if you hadn't been corrected. We hear "oops" from you an awful lot, couched in one form or another. Perhaps you could check such simple facts before posting - matters of opinion can be excusably wrong, especially from those we know we can trust to have made every effort to get things right. Book prices are matters of fact. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) Devon County Show 17-19 May http://www.devoncountyshow.co.uk/ |

But you enjoy it don't you. If you didn't you wouldn't try to poke at me once in a while. What's up? Did you forget to take your meds?! |

Perhaps of more importance than a picture of her dirty thumbnail is that fact that she is trying to reduce the funding of the yellow book by disseminating info to anyone who is too mean to buy a very worthwhile publication. |
