I still haven't figured out everyone's Christmas names, Flo.

Hi Kate,

Yes, Cornwall has had non-stop rain but we've been okay thanks. Hope your parents are alright. Apparently 50 years ago Cornwall was the worst affected by snow. Villages cut off for weeks and hay dropped to animals by helicopters.

These catalogues are so tempting, Jo. Just can't make up my mind but if I order seeds now I'll be tempted to sow too early.

Morning all,

Didn't Margaret Thatcher say that every Prime Minister needed a Willie? I don't think she played football.

Happy New Year's Eve. I'm doing a granny thing and baby sitting tonight. The family are all coming for a buffet tomorrow so I'm cooking a ham today. Hopefully that's the end of enjoying myself and can get back to normal. 

Looking forward to getting out in the garden again. the weather is supposed to be better by the weekend

Sorry Sir.

Good morning all,

Please excuse my absence, just so much going on. The family are coming to me on New Years Day and then it will all be over for another year.  

We had a power cut for 8 hours on Thursday but Western Power did ring up to apologise and explain the problem, something about lightning restrictors.

It was nice to sit in candle light and not be able to do much.

I tok the opportunity to look through some of the seed catalogues that came this week.

Page 66 Gomphocarpus 'Hairy Balls'

Both plants look amazingly like their names.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I've been in my bunker awaiting the end of the world and just popped out to see if it was all over. I'm astonished to  see everything is as normal so am making up hampers of beans, dried pasta and bottled water to give out as Christmas presents.

Quite frankly it was getting a bit smelly down there and the dog wanted out for a wee.

Hope everyone who has been poorly is on the mend and can enjoy a wonderful Christmas.

Good afternoon all,

Very festive table, Geoff. there dosen't seem to be room for all us forkers 

I steeped my begonia corms in provado for a few hours then let them dry out. I don't know if that was the right thing to do.

Good morning all,

Hope you are all getting in a festive mood. Apologies for the absence but I try to keep up with you all.

It is a tragedy, Inka. There is quite often devastating news around Christmas.

I was going to say penguin too for the choccy guess so I'll say Ranulph Fiennes instead.

Sorry I put an extra 'r' in. Are r's something to do with prostates?

I was talking to someone the other day who'd had the fish pedicure. They enjoyed it. There were quite a few places here that did it but they all seemed to have closed now. I feel sorry for the poor fish.

I can't believe it! I've won a prize in an on-line competition. It was in Horse Sense magazine and they have just sent an email to say I've won a bag of Molliechaff extra horse feed and it will be with me within 28 days.

Tomato sauce is recommended for a healthy prostrate.
