My first entry

Welcome....
You look very young to have been gardening for 28 years...Lol.

I know, when I first started gardening I remember getting a soiled Nappie!

Lol. :o)
Gardening from your pram...

Hello again Heron...and welcome from me too :)) I think we've met before, lol.....
Look forward to seeing more pics of your gorgeous cottage garden :)

Welcome Heron... now you are retired you'll find you never have enough time to do all the things you want to! At least Bulbaholic (aka Mr Moonbulb) claims he doesn't!

That is perfectly true in my /our case!

Hallo, Heron. Welcome from me as well. :-))

Welcome Heron, you'll soon find your way round GoY but be warned it should come with a highly addictive warning!

Lol TT thats what I was just going to say he he. Tis a beautiful garden you have, even if its taken you 28yrs gardens don't come by them selves when they look like this welcome to our big family garden

And a warm welcome from me also.

I'm overwhelmed by all your warm welcomes, Lily2 I know what you mean about addiction but I'm not sure how long it will take to find my way around. I don't yet know how to respond to your individual comments. To add to my woes I'm having computer problems which means I can't open some attachments.

Well after 4 months I still haven't explored everything on here, there's so much!

If you have any more questions, just ask on this thread, and members will be sure to help you. :o)

Welcome Heron. I hope you enjoy GoY.

Hi Heron (from the village idiot ! ! !) You'll soon find your way round, but don't worry to much about it just go with the flow. ;~))

Oh Ian! What a thing to say - you most certainly are NOT an idiot! Heron - you'll get to know us all...and Ian's sense of humour, too - You have been warned!

Well when I went to the post office yesterday without any money ! ! ! she asked which village was missing it's idiot so I just thought ................ ;~))

I can just image you Ian with a red and green hat and clothing with bells on as the joker maybe but not the idiot.

I don't ware a red and green hat! ! !
Mine is blue and yellow! :~))

lol so at least I got the green bit right as blue and yellow make green he he

LMSO Morgana ;~))

Milky, Dawnsaunt and Jacque, will have you down on their list now hehe wearing socks. lmao.

Excuse me, you two - this is Heron's first blog! Go and chat somewhere else - he'll think he's come into a madhouse here! LOL.

Well its best he knows from the start Spritz!!!!!!....lol
Welcome from me too Heron...I'm a relative newby too....and I can vouch that they are all........lovely on here (but it helps if you are a little mad too...lol) :)))

Alice

Oh no it doesn't (in a pantomime voice) it's essential. Lol

I'm beginning to get the drift, 'you don't have to be mad but it helps' Thanks for your tips. I'll post some more pics soon.

If your not mad when you entered here, you will be by the time you leave he he.

Very true Morgana......lol

lol Thank you Amblealice

Hello Heron. Your garden is beautiful ! It must be fantastic to have the room for flowers and veg, and both parts look wonderful. It's really crazy when you first start on here, but you soon get used to it. Bet you've had loads of e mail notifications !! lol I turned them off after a couple of days because you find that you come to the site without being notified of anything because it's so GREAT !! Welcome and enjoy !! :-)))

Great first blog H love all the pics!!!

A big thank you to you all for such a warm and friendly welcome.
