Not sure how long I can keep it a secret, though. Of course, if the weather is good, I could just go off to the lottie every morning and let him think that I am going to work as usual!

I like that idea! Very sneaky

We are moving to France in August so no gardening for me in either place this year and a 10 x 8 greenhouse needs a new home, hopefully next year I will have a veg plot there is a nectarine tree in the garden but it doesn't look very well, next door has an immaculate plot or should that be potager and a peach tree that overhangs our garden !

Very interesting to see where you are all off to this year, and not in some cases.

Have decided on Corfe Castle in Dorset in the end, anyone been there?

Rule one ..Always avoid Newquay , unless you wish to mix with under aged drinkers /chaves and chips
Rule two..Use the local bakeries for your pasties..Warrens are not the best ...Rowes are 10/10 but check the local bakeries first.
Rule three ..Far better places to stay in Cornwall than Newquay !!!

Costa del Lottie as usual for me. When I'm lying back in my recliner, with my palm tree beside me looking through the fronds at an azure sky on a glorious sunny day, I could be anywhere in the world. What's even better is I'm actually in my most favourite place in the world. Sending Tim of to play golf in Scotland, Spain a Portugal through the year, so plenty of time for me to garden

Interesting to note that of all the replies, only one or two are going abroad.

Hi Chantal,
I have a picture of you, ensconced in your recliner, which I keep in the front of my Times Atlas of the World being the only place I can keep the cutting from the Telegraph flat and in good condition. Do you remember your heady days of fame? The days when this forum was a happy place and we all joined in. Advice on growing abounded but sadly today there is too much heavy stuff about and very little advice about anything.
I wish we could return to those days but am afraid that this is probably not possible but we could still all try!

Dear Johnboy, things often seem to go full circle, so i'm sure the forum will soon turn the corner.

Morning all, now, since i had no replies to what Corfe Castle is like, i'm just hoping no one knows a lot about the place.

I do hope you are all not just being kind, and don't want to tell me what an awful place it is.

I only booked there, because the lady on the phone sounded so nice, she had got one of those husky voices that blokes seem to find most pleasing..

Morning OH,

She probably had half a pasty stuck in her throat when she picked the phone up

Morning P.J, i now feel quite disillusioned.

Only joking OH.
She is probably a 25 year old Swedish blonde. Does that make you feel better

Dear P.J, do you mean she had got half a Danish pastry stuck in her throat, rather than a pasty, then.

I am sure you will find Corfe Castle and the area around very pleasant.
When I was working I was sent on a week's course to Basingstoke and there turned out to be only 3 delegates but they ran the course anyway. It meant that we got through the content pretty quickly each day so we finished early. It was midsummer and lovely weather so one day when we finished before 4 o'clock I decided to go for a long drive (on company petrol of course). I went to Poole, then Swanage via Corfe Castle then back and along the coast to Weymouth then Chesil Beach. I sat on Chesil Beach and watched a full moon come up, it was really quite magical. Having never been to Dorset before I resolved to go again and explore it properly but regrettably I never have.

I look forward to an update on this after your holiday OH

Thank you Geoff, if it was good enough for you, it will be good enough for me.

Update it will be then, P.J.
