Have just finished sowing a mixture of Primula and Mec seed which arrived from Josef Jurasek yesterday. I wish Anthony had put the info about his website on the forum a few hours earlier since the seed only came with numbers and not names. I hadn't saved the site address and spent ages trying to find it again  >:( Looking forward to seeing the results in a few weeks time, no doubt I will manage to kill them before flowering, lets hope for a damper summer this year.

David, you really must stop referring to advancing years and failing eyesight. There are only 5 weeks between us and it's making me paranoid.

Lesley, one of my birthday presents from my kids was a white painted walking stick. This marks an event at the latter end of last week (reported to the kids by one who should know better!) when on opening the front door I completely missed the step and finished up +++++ over +++ full length on the hall floor. Is there no dignity?

By heck lad, ++++ over +++! You have been to Huddersfield. Did the Ritz become the ABC cinema?

Born and bred Anthony, and sounds like you know the place as well? We left Huddersfield in the early 1980's for Bury in Lancashire and will have been in Devon for 20 years in June this year. The Ritz did indeed become the ABC and then became Sainsbury's. I obviously didn't need to translate the ++++ stuff ;D

I was born there, as were my parents. My granny lived in South Parade and my Dad's parents in Long Lane, Dalton. I didn't live there much (left when I was two and stayed again in South Parade 1962/63 while we had a house built in Stirling).

I will need to ask Sue Gill about the statistical probabilities of two Forumists being born in Huddersfield. I had no idea you were a Yorkshireman Anthony no doubt teaching the Scots the true meaning of generosity? ;D

Ah! now I see. I had been searching my computer keyboard for a key saying "sup" and of course could't find one. ::)
