It is getting tougher for people to afford to send mail. With electronic means to do things that does not spell well for postal services.

Dear me Naut I think that gulf stream saves us from freezing up, but the wind has no such virtue at the moment I think it is blowing from Scandinavia this week. If the Gulf stream changes or is changing we shall welcome Global warming, but don't tell anyone.

Re:
Adnohr you would be shocked, you would be giving the ornaments away, the customers are always trying to knock a few pennies off. They stand out in the open as well. You might not br far off with your plant care more die from over-watering.

Re: C.C.
I can always sleep in a chair Wiley, when I sell up and get my new apartment I will devise a special guest room. It must have been someone else who said it then. Perhaps you meant standing on your head.

Re: In my mind portrait of your setting, with house and greenhouse
Well honestly Pat it seems so ordinary, but but guess I am in a time warp. I have 4 greenhouses one day if I can I will show an aerial photo I have one somewhere. Archie would be very uptight he drives a lorry. He is still a little softy at heart, but likes to play the tough guy, he calls me Arthur Daley.

My first attempt at a comment obviously failed! I had written a brilliant observation about something terribly important, but now I forget what it was...Ah yes, maybe your central heating, aka the Gulf Stream, got shut off, which is why it gets chillier in your neck of the woods than here - we had a balmy 8 here in Canada...

I'd be good with a booth selling ornaments. I really don't know alot about plants. Bird left me his, warned me to take care of them. I forget them sometimes, then notice the big one drooping, and run to get water. Poor Archie - he gets alot of payback, LOL!

I wondered why you had your word count from time to time! lol I just read and never pay attention to length! You are entertaining so it's alway over before I realize it! How fun to be in a garden club! We have them here but with my transportation woes I have never bothered to join! But, now that my daughter is moving back perhaps we can join one together! I love how you win even though there isn't much in it for the money, the fun of winning would be enough for me! Now you have reminded me that I need to get hold of my oldest son because I will be needing manure this spring too! Stay warm! sam

In my mind portrait of your setting, with house and greenhouse
and the grounds thereabout, I see it painted in the style of Monet, just a bit off-focus and green, with wonderful dabs of color here and there, reflecting waters, overhanging branches, and geese waddling in self-assured strolls. I see Archie with his buckets, or pulling a hand-cart with milk-cans. It's no doubt all wrong, my image, but it gives me a smile and a sense of homecoming to think of it. Thank you for all this. :)
