thank you bobstafford, for letting me know you had passed by. I think I have seen you either on the word association thread or the limerick thread (or perhaps both)

I hope all is well in your world

All well with me. Have just bought 60 square meters of extra garden, so busy sorting that out.

I have the time, if you have the inclination!

What part of the world are you from?

So - Istanbul (1.5 hours south) Mayenne, at the moment then. Are you working out there, or is this your permanent residence?

My house backs on to a road of bungalows. I have bought 6 metres of the end of my "end-of-garden" neighbours plot. However, because bungalow plots are wider, and I live in a house, the plot I have bought is wider than my own garden, making it a T-shape altogether. My garden is 6 metres wide, and the bungalow garden is 10 metres wide.

Already have four raised beds in place, but not even one-third of the plot covered. Lots of digging and weeding, planting, hoeing, sowing, organising - I am very happy but totally exhausted!

Hello there, sorry must have nodded off for a week!

Actually, I have been so busy in the garden, that I have been too kn**ckered to even turn the computer on these last few evenings.

I had a holiday in Kent about a month ago. Stayed in a lovely little hotel about 6 miles outside Canterbury. Have never really explored that part of the world before, although it is not all that far away from me. I loved sitting in the NT place above Dover harbour and watched the ferries loading freight for hours.

A lovely county!

Unlike you, I have barely moved at all. Childhood home, to temporary flat, to the house I have lived in for the last 46 years. Haven't beaten my Mum's record yet, though. She lived in her house for 91 years before she died!!

Howfield Manor Hotel, at Chartham Hatch.

Spent some days in Canterbury, and went round Margate and Ramsgate, took in a few farm shops and coffee shops, Dover, but didn't go to the castle (too busy watching the port!)

Enjoyed the drive through the countryside too.
