I've never bought from them. It would be a dream of mine to run a little business like that - start from scratch and include lots of new things. I'm sure they'll be ok and hope it's kept in Devon where it's started. http://www.vilmorin-jardin.fr/ |

Hello AnneJ, you always, but always have facts to your fingertips, does your name begin with Encly...... :-)) Hope everything is o.k. with you and yours tonight. Sorry to post off-topic, everyone, but I just need to let well-wishers know that my grandson still has a fever, and is still on antibiotics... Early days, Anne. He's young and he's resilient. I do feel so deeply for you - one of my children had to have a major op of a different sort and I'd have given anything to have had it for them. Your grandson will get there. I just wish Monday was over and done with. Martyn is a strapping lad, and, heart problem aside, as healthy as they come, but I just worry so! Never a good sleeper at the best of times, I scarcely get a wink of sleep at present. Worrying for our young never does stop. But his overall health otherwise is hugely in his favour - really enormously so. It's a good thing this problem has been detected and is being dealt with under controlled conditions of choice. You know, Judith, it occurred to me at a recent school reunion that so much time was wasted at high school because not one of the teachers managed to awaken in me a love of learning. That didn't come until much, much later... I sometimes wonder what percentage of teachers can actually _teach_ and how many merely regurgitate facts? Ah - gifted teachers. I was lucky in that I had good English and French teachers early on but absolutely terrible maths teachers. To this day I can't do or understand Sudoku - it's another language to me and not one to which I have the key. But because I had good *early* arithmetic teachers, I can add up at the speed of light! My 10 y.o. grand-daughter thinks it incredibly funny that her Nana, who can tell at a glance exactly how many tiles will be needed for any particular wall, cannot for the life of her understand Sudoku... it's just totally defeats me! I keep asking 'What is the _point_' of it! Crosswords, I absolutely love, and find them a worthwhile challenge... Yes, I enjoy crosswords and have started doing them again - rarely completing them I must say! But my attitude to Sudoku is exactly like yours. It's a bit like my attitude to wind-surfing - why bother! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

writes Crosswords, I absolutely love, and find them a worthwhile challenge... I can do Suduko but it's an effort whereas crosswords are always fun. I have a book of gardening crosswords that I adapt to put in the Gardening club newsletter. Kay gave me the book years ago as a present. One answer stumped everyone last year. pom pon dahlias! I had to check the spelling in the end! I always thought it was pom pom :) In the interest of staving off decrepitation of the cerebral kind I have been playing those mind games for the PC. words and logic, no problem but 3d awareness I cannot do easily for love nor money. Same with gardening plans, I really can't imagine in 3d! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
