especially well this year. One dark pink/purple one came out in October and

pretty pure white double one that we don't know the name of us but it's
beautiful.

Unfortunately, I don't have any here in France, I left them all behind
including that lovely clump of Lily of the Valley that you gave me
years ago!!!!

Wish I could say the same here, nice dark one we have had for years came out
and promptly the plant died! :-)

Was that the pink one? Rosea? If it will survive in France I can send you
some, or give you some when you come down.

Could have been the detritus from the pond filters being too rich, but then
I always put that in the same place, the Camellias nearby seem to love it.
Perhaps this time it was just too much, the final straw.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was the pink one. I will work
around your babies and see you in the Spring. What can I bring you
from France? Pate, cheese, wine, what is your favourite tipple?

La Prairie - fat chance!! But I'll be very grateful for the Baume. The

BTW, meant to say that if you can get hold of the Baume, do get some for
yourself. My Italian mother outlaw put me on to it years ago and I've been
a devotee ever since. I recommend it highly for burns, including sunburn,
as long as there's no open wound. It's made from a multitude of herbs, bees
wax and propolis AFAIR and is absolutely brilliant at relieving the pain of
a burn. It's good for e.g. dry lips from winter gardening and walks. If
any urglers are going to France, try to find it because it's great for
nettle stings, too!

Mike, don't you realise just how silly and childish your comments
sound? You are never going to upset Sacha by jumping in after her
posts, all you do is make yourself look foolish.
For Pete's sake, grow up!

That can be said for all the chit chat if you think about it :-((

BUT, should I drift into cruising ............ WELL that's a different

So how do YOU differentiate between chit chat which should be email and

Kindly explain

BTW, I take it that you will approve of my chit chat on cruising matters
now? If so can I tell you about next Christmas' Cruise around New Zealand
and my visit to Australia if I put some content in of gardening, however
remote?
