Be in touch with me anytime.

I don't want you to leave hootoo.

So they are still growing hops there it says.

We're fine.

and, as a link exchange: http://www.paddockwood.com/

Do they export?

Email that maybe? I don't know how advertsising works here now.

I'm now going to collapse into bed.

My dreams have been better of late about all sorts though.

I don't expect they produce enough for export.

A lot of these little breweries don't send stuff outside their home province, let alone outside the country.

I couldn't sleep.

I'm going to try to make my own beer next year since I got my wild hop plant.

I cut it right back and it already has loads of node things appearing for growth next year...plus the cutting I took this year has taken.

You make your own beer from hops I read. Have you done an entry on that?

No, I've not and I will not do an entry on that.

Hops are a flavouring (and preservative) agent in brewing, not the principal ingredient. If you want to *really* make beer from scratch, plant some barley.

Nope I don't really want to make beer from scratch.

I want my English wildflower area to flourish and the pond.

Also the hedgerow bits.

But the wild hop plant is part of the hedgrow area.

These are all things in my garden I have slowly discovered and LOVE.

I noticed you are away.

You've helped me so much with *language*

I can't really tell you. But others here have also, and I can't tell them either.

X Speak soon.

Off to bed. Kiss to Camilla. X

We've been out most of the day visiting, etc. -- like every day, it seems.


Lots of happy, here at home in real life. Not a lot of mean people out there, I find (a bit of a pleasant change from online lately)

Good.

I can't honestly say lots of 'happy' for me.

But in my interactions with people around this part of Peckham..which apparently must always be called Nunhead now..I do my best to appear cheerful and friendly.

I worry that something stole my soul though.

I'm getting the business aimed at me again here...but that's the culture here I've accepted.

Thuggish, British and macho. Or geekish and lacking in any emotion. Or totally ignored.

That's life in the UK.
