I had a wonderful day today.............25/2/11

glad you had a good day out. It does us good to have a natter. :o)

How lovely, Grandma ge, to meet a generous stranger! As you mention she might write a blog, is she a member of GoY? Do you want to tell us her GoY name??

Glad you had a great day - sorry about the camera's batteries but sounded like you enjoyed the day

How nice for you both Grandmage. I have already done that with a couple of friends, from GoY and more planned. Isnt it lovely

Yes folks it is lovely, didnt ever think i would do anything like this but I did and we had such a nice time. Sheila, Hilda is a member on here, I gave her Goy. name in my blog, just join the name together and you will find her. Paul I am so cross about the camera battery was going to do a 'David Bailey', but you are all saved from that. Lol.
Thanks Cinders & SBG. indeed it is great to natter.

I m so pleased you had a wonderful time its lovely when you meet for the first time and your all made to feel welcomed, how wonderful she shared her cuttings and seeds with you what a very kind lady, hope your potting up goes well and may your seeds flourish.

It's nice to meet fellow members. I have met 3 so far. I'm glad you all enjoyed :o)

What a lovely day out for you Grandmage..and so nice to hear you all got on so well...That's another friendship formed...Its lovely to meet another member,especially when you are all like minded...:o)

Glad you had a happy time with Hilda and her husband.
It is disappointing when you realise there's no juice in the camera batteries ! Lovely for you to have those seeds and cuttings.. :o)

Thanks 6d, Hywel, Bloomer & TT. We had such a good day and didnt stop talking once! It is going to take me ages to pot up all the cuttings but they are safely in water for the while, didnt know that you have met people on here Hywel, we are daring in our dotage aren't we!! (where is your blog, Lol!) As for dragging the camera all that way for nothing, I will try never to do that again, so frustrating. I will however do a blog of my potting up one day!! :~)

I never wrote a blog lol, but Amy wrote one I think, although it was in 2008 ( I was called Blodyn then but changed it later).

Hope you all behaved better that Tet and Sticki Lol!!
Glad you had a good day, looking forward to Hildas pics.....!

We had great decorum Lulu, wouldnt have expected anything else LOL LOL !!!!

Very glad to hear that too lol!

It's nice to meet a fellow gardener and to receive so many "freebies"...plenty of work for you to get these planted up, Grandmage.

Happy planting :)

so glad you met up and had such a nice day, we await Hildas photos,

Thanks W.lass & Yorks., I have many plant cuttings to plant up, not sure where to begin!! It will have to wait now til I return from my daughters and then I can get cracking. Hilda is a lovely lady and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I dont know what pics. she took, that will be interesting, hopefully not too many close ups Lol !!

Glad you were able to meet up with Hilda.... will look out 4 the pics...

Thanks Holly, not sure when they will be published !!!!

Sounds absolutely lovely GG!! So sorry you didn't get any pics...but so happy you had a lovely time!

glad you all enjoyed your day Gg, so nice to meet other members, sorry about camera to, will look out for hilda`s blog ;o)is that her id name by the way as well as her real name?

Many thanks Karen & San, was I cross about our camera the main reason being that we had carried it all that way for nothing!! So annoying. San, that is Hilda's member name with her surname (all in one,) I am sure you may have seen her many photos on hear at one time, she posted many. It was a very happy day and lunch, a vegetarian indian curry house, it was really delicious and none of us vegetarian either!! Lol.

I just looked Hilda up GG. She looks a lovely lady and I can see why you got on so well!

She has a lovely kindly face hasn't she Karen? and she is mad about plants, not sure where I am going to put all the cuttings she gave me, Lol. However I will have a go and pot them up as soon as I return from my daughters.

What kind of seeds and cuttings were you given GM?

still cant get hilders page to come up, how strange :o(

San, type in hildadorissen, all in one, it should be there. and Lulu, not sure of any of the names of the plants I have been given there are so many, mainly houseplants of the house leek, type, sorry not a very good explanation, I will take photos when they are potted and ask for names!!! Lol.

i managed it in the end, was spelling it right it just wouldnt work for me, i do recognise hilder, she looks a lovely lady. so will watch out for pics

madge wot a lovely way to spend some time ............ we met up with hero a few times and it was like we knew each other 4 ever .......

GM what a kind lady to bring you plants and seeds, very generous of her, so pleased you got on well.

Thanks girls, Cristina, if only we could do this more often and I know what you mean about knowing each other for ever!! Dd. Hilda is a lovely warm person and as you say generous, I only asked for one cutting!!!!! Lol.
