Oh Sue, how sad   Have you got it insured?  I hope you find it - have you looked in your bedroom - putting socks/tights/sweaters on tends to be when I catch my ring.

My daughter-in-law's ring is a solitaire and I always think it looks so fragile.

Back in the days when I was a married person I was throwing some prunings onto a compost heap when I realised that my wedding ring was missing - I'd lost a fair bit of weight and it had been a bit loose - then somehow I just saw it glinting, it had caught on a twig on the pile of prunings   I hope you have similar good luck (((hug)))

My OH works in a Farm Shop which is on the same site as a garden centre, and has to be open when the GC is open, so he's working Good Friday, and Easter Monday as well as his usual days  

Just to cheer us all up, have you seen the UK forecast for April?

Tomato seedlings

You're a star Italophile, and a Happy New Year to you too!   I had thought that maybe the Anna Russian  would cope with a shorter season (DDIL isn't at all fazed by snow in March) - it is the days to maturity I'm a bit concerned about.

It is still absolutely perishing cold here so my toms will be confined to the kitchen and dining room windowsills for quite a while unless we get a sudden heatwave

You sent me Jaune Flamme which I think are the smaller ones?  You also sent Golden Queen, Soldacki and Marianna's Peace - as you said ' the decision making is hard'.  

I shall start them off this weekend and hope for the best

Good morning all - hope I didn't keep people away with my cough!  All gummed up and horrid   Hope I can get rid of it before the weekend.

Worrying to hear about how weddings have become such a performance - it's as if it's all about the ceremony - not life together ever after
