2010 YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread.

I made our first blackcurrant pie of the year last weekend with fruit from our allotment bushes. Scrummy - not too much sugar, to retain the exquisite tartness. Went down a treat with vanilla ice cream.

What happened to sharing I thought this was what this forum was all about.

Can you smell our more mundane Blackcurrant jelly?

Paddy, "yes", in a word, blackcurrant jam has been my lifesaver over the past week (I've eaten 2 jars to combat flu!) not at all a match for your wonderful homemade blackcurrant jelly, which I'm now virtually imagining and hoping for a cure 

I have had 'flu once. Never again! Spent the whole of Christmas 1982 in bed. Couldn't move! I don't think any amount of blackcurrant jam could have prevented it! I just collapsed in school and had to be driven home.

Just received my copy of July's "The Rock Garden" and have been dazzled by the photos!

There are indeed, Anthony..... I'm just having a quick flip through and I see a super looking article by Darren Sleep on Ranunculus asiaticus

After 15 months with no job I have an interview next Friday with a Scottish company of  Garden Centres which is coming to Northern Ireland

[Maggi Young]

Wishing you the very best of Scottish Luck, then, Mark! I'd hope they  will be glad to get you!

[Ragged Robin]

Wonderful news and opportunity Mark, you so deserve it!   

[maggiepie]

Good luck, Mark.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Keeping our fingers crossed for you Mark !!

Sending positive thought waves your way Mark.  Yikes, 15 months, only been 9 months so far for me, I should quit whining and feeling sorry for myself!

Best of luck Mark.  They appear to be a good company to work for and seem to have a lot of staff in the garden plants area.  Also, they have a good age range of employees - not deferring to the cult of youth.  As they are now owned by a bigger firm they should be financially secure.

Best of luck, Mark.
