Geoff

Your book list sounds interesting reading. Nice to see Geoff Hamilton being mentioned regularly so far, I think that reflects the esteem he was held in

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.
At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

:D OH, I hope that does not mean it has been suggested you throw in the trowel :wink:

Not to my face, Pa Snip, but probably plenty of times behind my back.... :)

Not specifically a gardening book, but in the days of my youth I enjoyed John Seymour's Self Sufficiency book because I had this daydream of a plot of land and living the Good Life. With a husband who loathes gardening though, it never advanced beyond the daydream, and to be honest, I don't think in real life I would ever have been able even to bring myself to wring a chicken's neck !

So I stick to growing vegetables and pacify my conscience by only buying free range eggs!

Primrose. Many moons ago I went to their open day. Looked like a tip.

Now I feel MUCH better about my unfulfilled daydream :lol:
That's probably how mine would have ended up!
