Cheers mate, you too ok.

hay sweete hows things i havent heard from you in a while?

was it just me or did you go grey for a while?

Ah, medical science - they make it up as they go along most of the time.

So you live far from your grandmother?

Nothing in the world like grandparents - golden they are. I'm sorry to hear this news of yours, and I hope some good comes to her before the end.

In such a garden are grown the usual suspects, herb-wise, though not so much the very foreign plants, since back then they couldn't be got. A lot of native plants that most of us these days stupidly dismiss as weeds were grown for medicinal and culinary uses back then, and were very highly valued, so I'll be sowing or planting as many of those as I can fit in.

How are things today?

Happy birthday!

I'm glad!

Ta da!

I do, yes. Not one of my favourites or anything, but yes. Why do you ask?

Chrysssiiiiiiiiiii! How are you?

I love that J.M. Barrie quote. You can't keep a good Scotsman/woman down

The first picture is a wooden church in Slovakia. I love things made of wood; and I love grass and meadows and trees; so the picture just makes me go all dreamy.

The plant is called sainfoin, which comes from old French words (or was it Latin? ) which mean 'healthy hay', because it's an excellent fodder plant for cows. It doesn't grow naturally in Scotland, sadly - not quite warm enough; it grows in England well enough. In biodynamic agriculture it's believed the plant's presence on a farm has a kind of homeopathic effect on the soil of the whole farm and helps crops grow.

You're welcome

You know, I had an English teacher (English the subject) when I was 15/16 who called us all his cherubs. He did it with supreme irony, though, of course

I was born in New Orleans East but I actually lived mostly in Slidell. I was living in Florida during Katrina but my mom lost her house In the flood. My grandparents are still in Slidell and the rest of my famly is in Picayune.

yeah i hate to sound so selfish but its about time things started to go well for me

I'm sorry that things are low for you though, but a VW van or camper would deffinatly help that it gives you the freedom to just pack up a couple of days worth of supplies and just see where the road takes you (may i recomend getting a surfboard and heading to the coast as well )

dont worry if you cant think of a name right away there is still plenty of time before the end of the compertition

keep safe sweetie

if you want to try surfing i can put you in touch with a bunch of lads in texas that surf on the waves coused by oil tankers coming in to port?

yeah a village life is much nicer, i hate having to live imn a city, in a village everyone kind knows each other as its such a small place and you dont get the noise and stuff that you get in a town or city, the down side is that you need a car to do anything as everythings miles away and you need to think ahead as just popping out for something isnt as easy, oh and most take aways wont diliver to you but hay i can live with that
