Unable to locate a copy.

There There Honey Bunny.....

Trousers and me are feeling a might sorry for you now, and I'm going to completely shake you out of it girl, you know?

You gave me a little chilli seedling plantlet at the Spring Malvern, and it's really Top Banana right now, you know?
Every Little Seedling is worth it's weight in Gold. You just have to believe and remember that............
Don't you think everyone's a star in their own right?
We do.
So how hot IS this chilli then before I use it and burn the cat's mouth?
Your friend,

Hi Wellie

Which chilli is it? I have a dozen different varieties here and no recollection of what I gave out at Malvern. :oops:

Hi Peter

I'll have a go with the scanner for you, but it's not worth all this fuss, honestly.

Not sure this one will work but by right clicking you might be able to blow it up to legible.

Chantal, at first glance your deckchair seems to be floating across your plot! :shock:

OOOhhhhh and a link up with KG at the end,how much did you charge Mr PH for that eh? :wink:

When your great cook features on UKTV-Food, will you picket the kitchen door demanding he come and dig the plot and then send him a text message to bring you a cold G&T? :twisted: :D

Aaaaaaaaaaaagh, what a shock seeing THAT first thing in the morning!!! :shock: Well done Geoff :? :oops:

It's not a deck chair Peter, it's a rocking chair but you're right about the floating. Tim's comments are very tongue in cheek; what's not mentioned is that 95% of the time I'm at the plot he's either at work or playing golf. :lol:

The plot's not really that big Zena and it's more or less under control this year although it's taken me 3 years to do so. Every time I'd cracked it I took on some more that looked like a field. Still lots of weeding to do though.

Nice shot of Rocky don't you all think? He was in a star gazing mood that day and had to be baited with sultanas to stand up at all. We had to put a little pile of sultanas on the wheelbarrow and the photographer was desperately trying to get a shot of him but Rocky would sneak forward, grab one and then reverse backwards with his head upside down. He fell off the barrow a couple of times! Very funny but very trying in that heat. I can't believe he's so small; he's twice that size now and it's only 2 weeks ago.
