*** Waves*....... Hi, I am  a male last time I looked! Big Grin  Big Grin


Allotment and garden are blown to bits at the mo with fruit tree pots being blown over at home and a row of broadies being blown over at allotment. Had to earth up my broccoli plants as they were at a strange angle and spinning in the wind! Angry

What keeps me busy? Retirement. Cool  As my signature states, I don't know where I found the time to fit in a job. Rolleyes

I'm the grower, designer, weeder, picker and pickler.
 I am married to PPs husbands twin - he doesn't do any gardening except th slash and burn and it's usually something I've been waiting to flower for years Sad

When I'm not in the garden I like to cook- today was cheese scones.

When  I'm not doing in the kitchen I like to make and do Smile 
Today I'm setting these stones in silver ready to make some earrings

I work full time for the NHS and things have been rather busy over the last few months! Now we are seeing (far) fewer cases of coronavirus, we are playing a huge game of catch-up and trying to get as much done before things kick off again with the pandemic. I'm also trying to move house to another city, even though there have only been three suitably-located houses listed to rent in the past month, while also gearing up to buy a house at some point in the next few months. So, I'm tired, fed-up, stressed, and worried about being homeless in just over a month... Despite this, I'm largely staying on top of my little container garden, and the more fertile half of my garden bed. However, staying completely on top of the forum as well might be the straw that breaks the camel's back!
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

You deserve a medal Proserpina, in more ways than one. It's a minor miracle that you have the time or inclination to join us on the forum, but we are very pleased you do.

I’m a man Smile , I do all the work in the garden but the OH loves to tell everybody about what the royal ‘We’ grow in the garden and the poly tunnel. I also do all the cooking she looks after the cleaning, washing general housework etc. It’s worked for nearly 40 years now.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

Hardly an Introduction! You're supposed to tell us a little about yourself or we just have to guess!

Here's a few questions you could answer..............

Are you a man or a woman? 
Where do you live?
Do you work or are you retired?
Do you have an allotment?
What are your best features?
Have you ever done anything memorable?
Do you have any pets?
Are you good looking/beautiful?
Do you have your own teeth?
Do you have any money?

I'm sure you can think of more information that you'd like to share with us. We're a nosey bunch and we like photos. Smile Cool
