Social Media

I joined friends reunited when it first started maybe in 2000? Not long after i moved out of London... linking up with friends that Id moved away from.
We all moved over to FB when that started. I dont have many local people on it - I use it for friends/family from my home town and people I went to college with.

I absolutely loved instagram- love photos, but its changed lots over the last 18Months so I dont use it like I did, I dont like videos/reels... though I love a page of photographs. Shows me what was in flower when etc.Reminds me whta was good in the garden. I have "met" lots of other gardeners and have swapped dahlia tubers with some

FB I still use - fab for local groups. If someones cat gets hurt or someone has lost a key etc - you can find the owner.
I found my patio tiles - second hand on there and a ferret for my bother

I post my flower bunch photos and let people know what I've picked on the weekend via my flower page - local people follow me and message me when they want a bunch! When it was raining/super hot it was the only way to sell my flowers.

You can find me at Shurnhold flowers

I also follow groups - national dahlias etc... and some diabetes groups for kids when my boys were first diagnosed were life savers when i needed advice and DIY info/kit to extend the life of medical equipment that I couldn't afford to buy. I managed to make a gadget that linked to my sons kit that would wake me at night if his blood sugars were out of range. That would not have been possible if I hadnt been on FB

I use Messenger all the time for my boys - sending photos etc

Just had a look at your FB page, the photos and colours are stunning.

Thank you  I love photos... my new phone isnt great so I may start using the proper camera again.  ..love a photo of a flower

Especially when they are as beautiful as yours.
