Title: Is this the place to say Hello?
Post by: Astrogirl72 on June 02, 2007, 14:35:42
Hello!

I'm Astrogirl72 and have been coming here for a couple of weeks to read but now I want to join in.  I don't have an allotment but I do have a large balcony where I grow flowers and veg.  I'm in the South East and looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Have a great weekend all,

AstroG

What a lovely warm welcome, thank you.

You've given me the courage to post in other topics...if I could just work out where to start.

Ha ha !  You've been caught, knew you would.   ;D

Whereabouts in the South East AstroG, I'm originally from Sidcup, and mum and dad are still in Swanley, or is that not south east enough.

;D

It's OK Shirlton, I'm not 'that' girl, although I turn a few heads in my own way  ;)

MrsKP, I live in Thamesmead and have a balcony which is roughly 20ft by 13ft overlooking Southmere Lake.

Think my ex's pa built something around there !

Is that the lake where the nightclub is ? 

You'll get stacks on that balcony, but you don't expect to sit out there as well do you ?   :P

Grrr - Nightclub, that'll be the place which interupts my sleep on a regular basis. 

As for sitting, what's that?  I haven't been able to keep still all year.  Apparently the enjoyment of my balcony will take training  ;)

We saw the 3 Tops there once.  They used to be 4 but there was only 3 of them by the time they got there.
