Morning all, i just can't believe how dark the mornings are staying already, where is this year going to.

Don't forget i'm off to Norfolk Sunday, so if anyone feels they need to be rude or insulting now is the time to do it. :lol:

Good Morning OH,

Nice and light here this morning when I got up at 5am. You're supposed to take your sunglasses off when you go to bed :wink:
Another bright sunny day again, although the wind is getting up a bit.
Have a nice time in Norfolk. I'm sure the broads are looking forward to it :)
Cheers PJ.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long...........

Dear OH

I trust the Codger will be looking after your crops, keeping your place on the forum warm and winding the church clock.

The Norfolk ones or the ones in Milton Bryan :?: :wink:

Have a nice time.

I'm away for just the week, unless i find a exceptionally pretty reason for staying a little longer. :wink:

Old Codger is indeed going to keep his eye on my plots for me, he is a good old boy like that. :)

And my Nephew is going to look after my extensive range of glasshouses. :)

As for the Church clock, i will wind it in the early hours of Sunday morning, i'm having no one seeing what i have got kept up there. :twisted:

I love the Broards, they always seem so inviting. :lol:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear OH

If you get down Sherringham way do pop into the Priory Maze its literally just outside of Sherringham on the Cromer Road...I promise you that you won't be disappointed...

they do nice meals too or maybe just stop off on the way round for a coffee and sticky bun...unless your watching your figure that is :wink:
I am in my own little world, ...it's OK, ...they know me there!

Herbie, if near Cromer pay a visit to Felbrigg Hall a National Trust place and take a good look round the walled vegetable garden. :D
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
