Birthday/Christmas Presents
By busylizzy
26 comments
The family have all left after the Christmas celebrations and now myself and K are back to normal (whatever that is!) and I have actually had time to look over my presents – my birthday is just before Christmas so I have two lot of pressies in a week to open. This year I was amazed as I got quite a few books that I had mentioned during the year (they do listen!). What with GoY and my new Gardening Library I am going to have to find some more hours in the day – roll on spring :0)

BB - I thought our snow was finished with, but its started snowing again :0(
Ian - mine is on the 20th which means I never have room for the b'day cards! Glad you got some good books too!
Mobee - thanks for the b'day wishes - I will be an expert at sitting reading whilst drinking a cup of tea and dunking a biscuit.....:0)
Hywel - Thank you - twice as nice for me, twice as stressful for everyone else!
Mavis/Amy - They are great - I cant wait for spring so I can put some of my new found knowledge into action.

Hi Bl and welcome back! I can see two books that I have - and use. I love the RHS books and find them very helpful.
I shall be interested in knowing whether the Plant Combinations book is useful - I don't know that one.
7 Jan, 2010
Thanks Spritz - aren't they brilliant - the planting combinations book is good for a novice like me who doesn't know the names of plants but likes to look at colourful pictures that have the names underneath...lol

What a wonderful selection of books, Busylizzy...
Lots to read if you get snowed in.
How is the weather in Lincs ?
7 Jan, 2010
Well TT Im sitting looking out the window at the sun shining and great big fat snowflakes falling at the same time, so I would say mixed!
7 Jan, 2010

7 Jan, 2010

All my relations live at least 150 miles away. I have got them all trained to send me Garden Centre vouchers for Christmas
7 Jan, 2010
Thats a great idea Andrew - my rely's like me to have something to unwrap so books are always good - I had to beg for a new pair of secateurs as they didn't think that was a "nice" gift! lol
7 Jan, 2010

7 Jan, 2010
