Also heard great reports on the weekend; our travels are restricted as youngest is in exam year, long schooldays and little spare time.

What was I doing in one of his photos? It must have been a sneaky shot.

You may remember that back in August I helped judge private gardens in an every growing village near me. Last night was the prize giving where I gave a lecture on the gardens. It was the first time in the 10s of years that a judge showed the gardens. On Monday I was asked what I wanted in payment. I said at least £100 for the two days work and the presentation. And what did I get last night? A diary. grrrrrr. Next year I'm busy!

Mark You should learn to agree on price first and say "yes" only later. Else You have not much to say about what You get.
This could have been written in a much funnier way with dual meanings but since Christmas is not to far away I am trying to behave. :P ::)
Kind regards
