Hi all i'm in not so sunny dorset where going down for breckie now, the wedding was great, the place where we had the function even had an area for gr,owing, they had spuds, brassicas, courgettes and runners on the go, catch you later. ;D ;D ;D
have a good day, corny, hope the sun shines ;D
Did they have any mares tail Kev ;D
Hi all I'm back home, it was Sunny 8) after we had our breakie and got out and about, we stayed in the La Fleur de Lys, the rooms were lovely and only a 3 min walk from Gold Hill Street where they filmed the hovis advert. We were lucky as they had the gold hill festival on this weekend with kids rides, a french market and other stalls,locals dressed in medieval clothes, Morris dancers, a parade where all the children showed off their banners, flags and masks and a group playing the drums. The locals were very friendly and we had a nice pub lunch. No mares tail on their growing patch at the wedding venue, which was called Coppleridge Inn, the civil ceremony and reception were held there, while they was taking the photo's I spotted the growing patch which was about 20x75 feet. ;D ;D ;D
Glad it all went well and that you had a good time. The festival added to the enjoyment I bet. Did you have a morris dance Kev
Phew does that mean i can relax now and stop dusting ;D
If I had a bit more time this morning I'd have given it a bash Shirl, I'll have to sort out the piccies when I was in Bournemouth, my mates were in a pantomine horse and I was in a jockeys outfit riding them along the road down near the pier. We changed our hotel and golf courses Dawn so I didn't get in touch with you because I couldn't get my bearings, it took me 9 years to get my bearings then my mate went and changed all the itinery. We stayed in the shaftsbury area in Dorset and got off the train in Gillingham, so that was a fair way from you Dawn but I did notice that you missed a bit of dusting in the top left corner above the fireplace, I think its a small spiders web. :-X :-X :-X ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sounds good

That reminds me Kev: the marestail that you were kind enough to pop round while I was on holiday is doing well. Not sure how to cook it though. ;D ;D ;D
Steam for 5 mins and add a little crack pepper near the end. ;D ;D ;D
Well I saw someone yesterday on our allotment taking/stealing marestail in a bunch to take home. Wonder what they were doing with it!!! Maybe cleaning their pots and pans. Hope they want some more, must be a use for it somewhere. I think mine is getting fed up with me as I keep chopping, cutting and pulling and when it comes up again it does look weaker but have plenty if you need some. :( :( :( :( What happened to all the rain, it missed Enfield.
Just thought of a good idea, sell marestail on ebay. Someone will buy it.
You must have had some showers Borlotti, and the bloody wind has played havoc with my tommies. :( :( :( ;D ;D ;D
A couple of showers but no real rain.
Hi Kev, glad you enjoyed your weekend. Hope you diden`t go cos i was visiting your way to see some rellies. ;D

it makes a good anti-fungal spray
How do you make it Tone and what plants do you use it on. ??? ;D ;D ;D
just soak a load of it in water until it breaks down into a solution, then spray onto onions or anything else that is susceptible to fungus. ;) ;D ;D ;D
When are yer gonna start selling it then Kev ;D
I bet I have more horse tail/mares than Kev. Seems to like Enfield, and perhaps all the free compost we get is full of the stuff and it spreads about.
My marestail's not to bad, but I have be pulling it as soon as I see it so I suppose it doesn't seem much when your not seeing it all in one go. We have only just started getting the free compost so I will have to wait on that one Borlotti. Good idea though Shirl I could pick everybody elses maresstail and sell the stuff back to them. :-\ ??? :-* ;D ;D ;D
