Evening everyone,
Been watching the telly. I'll get my Miss World sash ready!
Stephen, My kitchen is in an interesting state!
Maddie reliies from Exeter. I'm first generation Exeter born and I'm the last of the line as well.
I don't know that many true Devon chaps, My friend's Husbad is real Devonshire and he speaks with a Devon Accent!

Sorry......correction...........not the Garden Labourer.....The Garden Gnome

Snowdrops.....the wood near me has loads that come up. So delicate to look at but fairly hardy to survive.

My daffodils are really sprouting now. Looking forward to my first blooms.

I'm the graden labourer..... Mrs Stephen has the green fingers.

Hi Maz, yes I did plant the snowdrops after flowering. My neighbour is a very keen gardener, and wouldn't give them to me till I had prepared the soil etc.

Oh and by the way, my ancestors came from Stoke Dameral, Devonport,in Devon, and from Millbrook, Cremfill, Loose, in Cornwall. The rest came from Dorset, Portsmouth and the Scily Isle.
The Irish side came from the Aran Islands, County Galway.
Oh boy what a mixed bag we are.

I'm not telling Marilyn, it's a secret!!

Well Pauline ......

WHAT IS IT THAT'S IN THAT PACKAGE ........that Stephen kindly sent you ??????????


And what is it that you so got more than any of us for the privilege of postman Pat knocking on your door.....bet it wasn't Snowdrops !! LOL

Mo.... did you plant them Snowdrops immediately after flowering ?? because that is what you have to do ......

I have loads in the lane where I live and transplant them in my garden soon after they always take....

Maddie I forgot about your family from Devon ....so that makes you as well that can be classed as a MISS UK...........LOL

I can see my add in the 'PERSONAL' Column of the local rag in a few years.

MALE, 1946 MODEL

High Mileage. Good Condition, Some Hair,

Many new parts including, Hips, Knees, Corneas, and Valves.

Not in running condition.....but walks well.

Rita,

I suffer a bit from a 'hissing' noise in my ears.I've become used to it but it is a real nuisance at times.

Consultant says probably due to a combination of my diving days and being too near to explosions.

I maybe shouldn't have gone to so many firework displays. ROFL

Crikey ! I'm beginning to sound like I'm ready fro the scrapheap.

No thank you Rita. Isn't that just typical though........ you get good blood results but then something else comes along to spoil your day.

Sssshhh Stephen, don't give any clues.

well done Dermot not sure my Ancesters would agree on alot of that. ?they were all church going people . poor but fair minded.my Great Grandfather got a fine through selling Liqure with out a licence and was fined £5 in 1871 he had his named plastered all over the paper Hontion one. I wonder if the vicar brought any of his beer. Lol the revenue men sued him.

I have around 8 or 9 generations of my family all born in Devon right back to 1600's

Mums family came from Somerset and Scotland.

I didnt put the snowdrops in I think the birds dropped them in passing.

I think they must have dropped the seed on there away around.

I am going mad at the moment with my tintius it comes every so often and I could go up the wall with it.

anyone want to borrow it for a while.

Rita

Pauline,

Glad the special delivery arrived ok. Good packer ! My wife cracks up at the mess I make of parcels.

Remember, you can take it to bed with you !!!!!!!!!!

My God.....I bet we have them guessing !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Stephen, as I'm the nearest to you - you can start on mine. We always have to get someone in to do the decorating and I don't think they do that good of a job for the money they charge.

And thank you very much for the special delivery I got today, it was waiting for me when I got back from my aunt's. You're a very good packer!!

Linda, how come you always manage to fit more into your day than I do? I never seem to get much done, mind you, I'm never in......... that might have something to do with it.

I should get myself a wee job going round all the houses of our Friendly Thread ladies.

I enjoy painting and decorating, plumbing, joinery, etc etc. Just love to see a good job well done.

I'd charge a reasonable rate and maybe through in a bit extra.....for free. ROFL

Hi everyone.
Dermot, I can't claim to be a Kentish Maid, as I am Essex born and bred.
But we have some rare beauties here as well, myself NOT included.
Like Shelly, we are rare Essex gals,like pearls from the ocean. LOL
But many thanks for the description of Devon folks.

Hi Marilyn , when are you of on your travels again. I presume it's back to the good ol U.S.A.
Don't forget Shelly's wind chime this time will you.

Pauline, my friends grandaughter does attend a special needs nursery a couple of half days a week.

Rita, I love looking at my neighbours garden. She has loads of snowdrops in bloom. She gave me some of them to plant,a few years ago, but unfortunatley they never did take in my garden. My fingers are not green enough me thinks.

Hi Stephen, I hope you have had an easier day today.

Linda, suggesting decorating to my OH is like swearing at him. What room are you going to decorate.

Ahhh... Dermot,

The only thing I agree with is the last sentence Miss UK Winners !! Thats ME and PAT LOL...

Rita may have been included but she's a distance cousin of Devon ...LOL

I have been very lazy today, trying to pack for hols ,but keep popping onto lappy for all sorts of things ...

Wha'ts everyone else doing ...?

Hi... Stephen thanks for the mail .....very good.

Glorious Day !

Sunshine, no wind, fantastic.

Time for Coffee and a relax.

Catch you later.
