The dark velvety look of Primula euprepes is so appealing. The botanical garden in Tromsø is somewhere I would like to visit.

My garden isn't secure so I couldn't let them roam free and as for the ponies -  Melita wouldn't be interested and if the boys wanted to play they might be a bit rough.  I must say if I wasn't just back from Gothenburg I'd be sorely tempted.   I've copied the Ad in case you couldn't find it. ( It was Monday's paper)

I've found it.... £99 each way...  that's a darn good price.

That is a  travel deal even I could get interested in.

...and my passport  needs to be renewed. >:(

Hi Magnar,
I only mentioned September because all my summer months this year are already allocated to holidays somewhere or other!!   ;D
Perhaps I can plan to visit your magnificent country in 2013 ... a dream destination for me!
Greetings and kind regards from Lancashire.

Magnar,  I think everyone on this wonderful forum has been touched by your kindness at some time and secretly dreams of visiting your magnificent garden and locality one day.  Mention Tromso and members drool.   ;D
