So pleased you like the hat Thomas. I think it looks just beautiful - or you do!

Olga, do you know the name of your lovely honeysuckle? The fungus is very good too, really brilliant in a darkish place.

Anne, perhaps next Christmas I'll send Thomas a full possum skin, with a pouch to put his pruners and seed packets in. Or perhaps the Aussies could come up with a kangaroo apron.

Or one of those wide-brimmed hats worn in Australia, with dangling corks around the edge to keep the flies away. Thomas could suspend crocus corms instead.

What nonsense! Thomas looks beautiful in red - or in any colour.

I'm with Lesley, I like Hubi in red, it'll match his face when he reads these comments! And I think Celine looks so smart in her sheepy slippers that she looks great even when she's making a face :P

I think I've got a new idea for next Christmas' quiz : does anyone remember the  printed (paper)sheets of clothes you used to get, with a doll figure and you could cut the outfits out of the sheet and attach them to the figure with little paper tabs? So you could change the costume. We could have template for each of us and a whole range of clothes and the game would be dress the gadener!
Yes, okay, not the best idea I've had today, I admit it! I do recall happy hours spent cutting out and creating with such a toy when I was a little girl, though! :D :D
Do girls still play this game?

And to think i was considering changing my avator too Thomas ,after an occasional formunist recently commented privately my current pic reminded him of a criminal   :'(.

One week on and a visit to a therapist :-[ and i'm willing to continue collecting seed for him again--but just.

 ;) ;) ;)

Cheers --no i don't feel cheerful at all--oh dear i feel a relapse ..... :P

I see we are up to 200 members now. Time for Lurkio and all his followers to take the plunge. Come on folks, there must be a vast untapped source of interesting ideas out there. We are (well I am) all just enthusiastic rock gardeners willing to share and learn so come and join in.

Well said, Anthony! It is super to have 200 forumists registered to the new forum after only a couple of months. Room for lots more, everyone welcome!  ;D

Toolie, how about we change you from being a Southern Biker to our Pink Panther ? It has been your 4x4 rather than your bike we have seen in recent mountain hiking shots, and you are so fond of colourful gear............. ::)

And of course you don't look like a criminal: everyone knows that nowadays criminals are slimy coves in suits and ties, often known as politicians.

Maggie, I was going to suggest you signed up for Second Life (you can do all sorts of things to your clothes, apperance and figure ;D) but realise now that this is your second life. What would we do if you left us?
