Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh Thanks Chris. I was laying in bed this morning and it suddenly came to me who it was. You have confirmed it. Thank you. Put it down to old age ;-( Question. ............................... How old is 'Old' what is 'Old Age'? My parents were 'old' when I was young. They both died a lot younger than I am now, so ............................. ;-} Mike -- ....................................

We rarely recognise any of the "celebrities" on TV programmes. We haven't even heard their names before. Same here. Mainly, I think, becasue a fair few of them seem to be from soaps, and we don't watch any. -- Chris |

As the owner of a small garden myself, I feel that its size forces me to evaluate plants more carefully, because each plant has to be worth the space it takes up. The lack of space means that I have to put more thought into using visual tricks to fade the boundaries and emphasise the plants, as well. I like Gardeners' World because its entertaining |

I like Gardeners' World because its entertaining I don't really get much from it inspiration-wise. I have purchased some hardy geraniums from a Mirror Reader Offer. The same plants from the same supplier, were available via more upmarket newspapers - at a higher price ! A Lidl leaflet dropped through my letterbox yesterday. From Thursday, Lidl will be selling several varieties of 'luxury orchids' for 9.99 each. So potted orchids which were only seen in House and Garden-type houses years ago can now be bought by people on benefits. I think that's good, myself. |
