Topic: Long time no see

[star]

Evening to anyone who remembers me!

I've had a little look around and have seen some familiar names  Its been about 2 years since I was here. I hope everyone I knew is keeping well and I look forward to chatting again

[lottie lou]

Nice to see you back

[daveyboi]

Yes very nice to have you pop in to say hello again. I often wonder what has become of people that have posted a lot over the years that just stop and leaving me hoping that all is well with them and nothing bad has happened.

Hi Star and a few other familiar names  This site helped me through the awful time when OH died 6 years ago and I haven't
been on here much recently as I took up lots of new things and life got hectic. Still have my allotment tho

Hello there everyone!
Life has a strange way of changing what used to be a normal day. Before you know it, time has passed and then you start thinking about how yoo used to spend time, chatting, and laughing. Learning and experimenting. And busy sowing, planting and growing.
Sadly my passion for growing is not what it was, ill health has meant I cannot enjoy the daily grind of preparing the ground and maintaining my beds. I do have a few more house plants than I had time for....they are not nearly as exciting as seeing seeds explode into life, pricking out and growing on. Eventually ending up on the dinner table.
But on the bright side Im stable, and manage to do a lot of things still.
Im still able to banter and if I can remember how to do things......even give advice  ....hahaha
Its good to see so many faces from back then. A lot can happen in a short space of time

Star I am sure your advice would be welcome by the newbies we still get joining us.

I was wondering if you have considered maybe growing a bush tomato plant or two as a house plant just to enjoy the fun assuming you like tomatoes.

Hi Star...and everybody,I too have not posted for yonks too,a combination if me getting over (a long time back now)a illness...and then nearly losing the Mrs to(silly owd trout got pneumonia halfway through her  chemo)  breast cancer. And like you Star my passion for growing is not what it was,I've still got my allotments and although I keep them clean and tidy I don't grow half as much these days.......but that is all about to change this year, now that the owd trout is back keeping me on me toes ,and for the first time in a long time I'm itching to get in my garden and that's got to be good. So your advice is much need Star.

Nice to see you back.  Lots of the old guard are still here.  I have become addicted to TGs jigsaw puzzles.

It is frustrating when health pulls you down.  My plot is in a mess and I am not sure how I am going to get it back on track.  I rather did the minimum last year and the nettles have taken advantage big time.

My enthusiasm is waning, but I am hoping to get going again when the weather picks up. 

Maybe you can have a few pots of edibles to satisfy your need to see seedlings appear.  A few salad leaves on the windowsill perhaps.

Its lovely to see old friends, and how many of us who left for a while and retrned again!

Its a good idea growing a bush tom indoors...I hadnt thought of that, it wouldnt take much either...thanks Davyboi.Thats a project!

Im just watching the woman across the road trotting in and out of the car in her slippers and dressing gown yelling at her teenage daughter to get a move on for school....who needs tv? People havent got a clue how dumb they look when they are angry! 

I dont go on the pc as often as I used to either, but I will be lurking somewhere in the ether.

Thanks so much for the welcomes everyone, and welcome back to those of you, like me, have returned after a break. xxx
