Hello Aquilegia, Neither of the above came across the name when I was in the Far East , many moons ago there used to be a fabulous night club with that name and I decided to use it. It just sounded nice .

Post by: gavin on February 12, 2004, 19:22:19: Welcome aboard, xanadu - lots of good people and good stuff around, so hope you enjoy!

And as a measure of how mad mots (lots? or most?) of us are, how about taking on an allotment and THEN finding a house to fit!

Love it, micsmum. I'm not the only daftie, then!

All best - Gavin

Post by: Palustris on February 12, 2004, 20:36:45: And why not Gavin? I looked round the land (not then a garden) before looking at the house. One has to get ones priorities right. Welcome anyway Xanadu.

Post by: Xanadu on February 13, 2004, 14:54:33: Thank you everyone for your very warm welcome. It is so lovely to see so many friendly folks with a sense of humour. I'm a proud owner of an allotment plot for about 4 yrs now. Last year I won a prize for the best 1/2 plot was quite shocked when my name was mentioned for I acquired the plot purely for growing veg that I know have not been spray with pesticides etc...to feed the family. Last years crop didn't do too well though due to the hot summer, hope this year will be a better year for all allotment holders. If not we will all have to gather around and do the rain dance. ;D
