Today is the first anniversary of my joining GOY, and tomorrow will be a year to the day that I wrote my first blog. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your help, humour, friendship and kindness. I feel part of the most enormous family. There have been ups and downs, but on the whole, life would have been a great deal duller without you all, and I probably would have got a lot more work done!
Thank you all.

I thought you`d been here longer Gattina, anyway I`ll wish you a Happy Golden Trowel Day (feel sure Terra won`t mind gotta keep up the tradition,) lol, and long may we continue, I`ve enjoyed hearing and seeing what life is like where you live, especially your lovely walks..

Trouble is, LL, we're always too pooped to walk very far these days, and there's always something more important to be done in the house or garden! Honestly, Annella, it has seemed more like three years that I've been chatting to everyone - must be good value per visit! :o)

Thank you! I've just noticed that my profile has TOMORROW as my Golden Trowel Day! Huh! I was convinced it was today. Bl***y geriatric memory again.

Its been lovely reading all your blogs Gattina - happy anniversary and many of 'em.

17 Sep, 2012

 

Only ONE year? Seems like so much longer! Happy Anniversary! :o)

So glad you joined when you did. We have had some lovely little 'chats' and it is lovely to see the plants that you are able to grow in your sun-kissed garden.

There now, you see? All these lovely messages from my friends. I may never have met most of you, but I feel as if we've known each other for a long time, and it's so lovely chatting with you.
Right, now I'm off to the airport. See you all next week. xxxxx

Just seen this, as not been around much recently. A whole year, doesn't time fly? Hope you had a good trip and look forward to more of your blogs, piccies and humour. (Well not sure about the humour bit..........). Lol Jx

Hi Gattina......its like modern day pen friends I think.......only much better. :0)))

25 Sep, 2012

 

Yes, much better I think, Pam, in some ways - you don't have the extortionate postage and have to go searching for stamps, and a few lines or words are acceptable instead of having to write a whole novel in one sitting, and the wait for a reply has pretty much disappeared - it's far more immediate and spontaneous, and you can add pictures, too! The only drawback is that there are so many of us, I lose track of what has been said to whom by whom and whether my geriatric brain and I have got muddled and forgotten to reply. There's an awful lot I miss, too. If you count yourself among those I have neglected - a quick grovel and apologies all round :o)))) Must go - I can smell a saucepan burning.........

Greetings Gattina! Sorry I missed your anniversary . . . was driving down to Cornwall the day you posted your blog. All best wishes for many more years on here - and yes, it's VERY easy to lose track and miss so much, but we all do it (oh look, I just did!), so we all understand. Always good to see you :))

I got half way through a reply yesterday, Sheila, and went to answer the 'phone. Needless to say, I lost the lot. Thank you so much for your message, it's always nice to see you, too.
