    image.jpg image.jpg Good evening one and all, just a quickie to let you know that I am still around, dipping in and out when I can but this is my busiest time of year at work (I'm a paid gardener) as well as looking after two allotments, garden, kids, dog, hubster, well, you get the picture. We have had two glorious weeks in the south of France (heavenly), and daughter number one has had fabulous AS level results. We have harvested mountains of beans, peas, courgettes, salads etc but best of all, my fig tree has produced a huge crop this year and I have already scoffed nearly 40 sugar sweet figs and there are probably that many ripening as we speak to enjoy throughout the rest of the summer.

    So I haven't forgotten about you, promise. Xxxxx

    Woohoo!!!!! Give your daughter a big hug from all of us, that's great.
    With your schedule we are very happy you got a chance to check in, you might want to slow down just a little so you can catch up with yourself. :eek:
