;D ;D ;D
Well, as long as we can a) actually get to Gatwick, and b) get a flight out of the country we're off on our hols. Won't be back until the new year, so I just want to wish you all a very merry Xmas and a happy and productive growing New Year! I've had an absolutely fantastic gardening year, lots of successes, lots learnt, a few failures, started to save my own seeds for the 1st time, and still loads to do, learn and try next year. So a monster thank you to all you lovely folk on here :)

Good luck! They do say the snow is going to ease towards the weekend.
Have a wonderful holiday- I presume it'll be somewhere sunny!

Memo to self take kendal mint cake with us on the train to the airport ;) Those poor people stuck on trains overnight in Kent - must have been awful!!
And yes you presume right - we're off to India 8) Hoping to get back to see some more spice gardens while we are there, and will try and get some decent photos this time round ::)

Good luck to you.
Last time we had a problem it was on the return trip and sadly we did not find out until after we had thrown all our laundry into the suitcases (I always wash everything when we get back) so other than sniffing out what was clean and what was not. We had to guess.
So, in future I will keep what I know is clean slightly appart.
We ended up with an extra couple of days holiday and compensation from the insurance for it which we were rather happy with.

thanks for all you good wishes :) and yes Ace, we will get there......... eventually! We've had getting on for 18inches of snow here - the most I've ever known. On a positive note, the garden looks stunning, and we even ate some of the last salad / lettuce leaves last night for dinner!
Just exactly how and when we'll get to Gatwick and then leave for our hols, who knows right now........
1066 - still needing some collective crossed fingers :D

;D ;D ;D at you Ace! Now I'm sure you're not meant to be crossing your knees, what would your physio say about that!
Yup Gatwick shut, no trains on any of the lines out of here, police advising not to travel by road.......................... looks like you will all have to put up with me for a while longer ::)
anyway this should make you laugh or cry ............
