A lovely photo Maggi and Ian. And wonderful to know you are both still as happy with each other (give or take small arguments over what should be planted where, of course. :))

 I must leap to his defence and assure you it is his luxuriant natural curls, David!

Have a look in the Forum Fun page
 http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5011.msg136310#msg136310   to see another couple from way back when......

In the early seventies my mum bought me a pair of black platformed shoes from a shoe warehouse in Preston. When the souls started to wear down, it became apparent that they were made from different coloured layers (think Smarties). :o In those days we lived in Callander and Saturday nights were spent in the Westerton Arms in Bridge of Allan, two bus journeys away. One night I missed the last bus back to Callander from Stirling. I started walking and tried thumbing a lift. I spent most of the next 14 miles walking in my socks as those shoes were not made for such a venture! I got a lift for the last two, but by that time it was 4 in the morning! The two guys, on a fishing trip, actually apologised for being late, but they stopped at Southwaite Services (Cumbria) for a few hours sleep! ::)

Just back after a long ( 16 hours )but FAB day out! Seen C.flavus,C.chrysanthus,C.olivieri and C.biflorus ssp. adamii flowering in the south. In places C.flavus and Cyclamen coum carpeted the woodland floor in a violent clash of eye aching pink and yellow. Also saw Galanthus nivalis  in its thousands, but the best was seeing the tiny bright purple flowers of Romulea linaresii growing out of moss! :D :D :D
Hristo passed away, after a long illness, on 11th November 2018. His support of SRGC was  much appreciated.

I have just got an email telling me that I have won the Euromillions lottery in Spain,   :o considering I don't partake any lottery's I think that is very generous. ::)
All I have to do is send them my Bank details and they will lodge €25million straight into my account. Isn't that very kind ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

There are still some very generous people in the world. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

What I used to do with these emails was to forward them to another spammer telling them that as they were "beloved by God" they were more deserving than me and hoped that they would rejoice in their good fortune.  I would find reward enough in God's good grace.  Funny how all these people are deeply religious
