Thinking of you all on Christmas Day!
« on: December 22, 2009, 16:11 »
As I munch my way through Crimbo, I will be thinking of you all who have put so much effort into growing your own, be it in a pot, garden or allotment. May you all enjoy and celebrate your hard work with family and friends (snow ploughs willing) and may your God go with you in the New Year!
Love from Goosegirl and Ganderman (Chief Washer-upper and Head Chef respectively) xxx :D :D :D
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

That is a lovely message, thank you.  I would like to wish the same back to you and everyone else on the forum.  My contribution this year will be (fingers crossed) my brussels sprouts which I grew from seed especially for this occassion.  Also have a fair few pickles and chutneys to add.

Happy Christmas one and all.   :)

the very best to you all over the Christmas period - so much advice and little nuggets of information on here that have been most useful throughout the year and sometimes inspirational: the number of times I have exclaimed aloud "now THAT's a good idea!" when browsing through posts.

Off to the allotment this afternoon to dig up some parnips and carrots for the day..now where's my pneumatic drill....

Thanks for your replies - isn't it good to have a forum like this and to know we're beavering away all year with its support and advice from members in this country and others then to harvest and enjoy at times like these. Just think of all the work awaiting in the New Year to burn off those gained calories - oh sorry - forget that for now, but y'all have a good time and keep warm!  :lol: :tongue2: :D PS :wub: :blink: :wacko: - don't drink too much!!!

Thank you GG for writing exactly what I would like to have said but far more eloquently.

Joyeux Noel et Bonne Anée à tous.

Love

Hey....feel the love!!!

Heres wishing everyone a really lovely Christmas, and I shall be thinking of others too. I love the forum, and after my first full year, have found a tremendous amount of information, encouragement, banter and knowledge here, so hope the site goes from strength to strength.

Have just harvested cabbage, swede, parsnips and sprouts from under 6 inches of snow, many of which will be on our table tomorrow...

Heres to a successful and wonder fully-weathered 2010 for all...!!!

Festive greetings,

Phill:) :) :)

Merry Christmas all  and a Happy New Year. Will be going down the allotment soon to pick up parsnips and leeks; thanks to the hints and tips found on this forum. Thank you one and all; even the ones I don't agree with!
