I wonder how the rest of you are faring this w/e? We have had some very mixed weather but none of that blazing heat we were promised - dull, cloudy, some rain and to cap it all, it is *pouring* with rain this morning - and on what should be one of the nurseryman's busiest days of the year! Hard luck! There I was waiting for the promised rain, but all I got was a little bit of cloud. I have not worked so long and hard or so successfully in the garden for ages, from Fri evening through to late Monday - it was mostly very sunny and often hot and humid. So late afternoon I stood on my newly mown lawn and admired the shrubs and trees with their new leaves and their newly cut circles of earth filled with special soil from the floor of the old barn, and listened to the rushing sound of my waterfall which I started up yesterday after some 2.5 years of neglect. I was so amazed and thrilled it went on straight away, it was wonderful. A couple of new friends arrived and we sat out in the sunken rock garden and had tea. And my youngest son, 15, managed to catch a newt in his hands, I thought we had none but he'd seen lots - including the small lighter coloured youngsters apparently. What amazing feet and toes and the way they move! I went back after dark just to listen to the water, and look out for more newts - but no luck.* I could do with some of your rain though, I think we have had it very dry here since last Autumn, but I do envy you your generally warmer climate!! * Blow me if he hasn't just caught another one just now, and we looked underneath and it has the most amazing vivid yellow and orange belly with black spots - I'd never have thought of doing this had it not been for the urg thread recently. I grabbed a couple of digi photos too. -- David On the first of the Chilterns looking NE to Cambridge |

Taxi to Cowes, Fast Catamaran to Southampton, Taxi to the ship. Under 2 hours from home to ship :-)) Same when we return to Southampton 3 months later :-)) AND unlimited luggage :-)) Mike -- H.M.S.Collingwood Ass.

No internet access too? There is a cyba cafe on board, but I will be taking a laptop with satalite access my emails and to the internet. Imagine being cooped up in a super P&O ferry from Southampton to Southampton for 3 months. 12 hours from R'dam to Hull is enough to last a life time. :-) ;-( not quite the same. The entertainment, food, excursions, views, thoughts, company, sights, sounds etc are just not the same. AND it comes cheaper by 'Buying in bulk' ;-)) But then you were tongue in cheek ;-}} Mike -- H.M.S.Collingwood Ass. Llandudno 20 - 23 May Trip to Portmeirion National Service (RAF) Ass.
