still a long list :)
If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

8' 6" .......... It looked sooooo tall up there. I guess I'm gradually shrinking  :blink: either that or the dwarf varieties all around gave it that "I'm the biggest" look  :lol:

Sorry for the delay Jamie. Mine only grew to 5ft4 after it was blown over and then supported with a stake, and then it blew over again and slugs ate it!! ::) I do have photos prior to its demise which I have been waiting to upload but haven't had time yet. :wub:
