Sadly that is not always the case as I am only one year away, though still think I'm twenty in my head.



The reason you may not be recruiting as many as you would like maracrippa,

is, if they are anything like me they are already doing it at home in their own garden.



Anyhow, now I know you have a gardening club in embryo,

posting the details of time, day, and address

might be useful to any would be gardening lurkers.

I will attend. I'm 42. Dont even think about preventing me from joining in - there are laws against discriminating against young people like me.

thanks so much for your emails and suggestions - and jokes (-; i know the criteria for the club are a bit strict, but unfortunately somebody else before me developed the project and that's what i'm dealing with. In reality the gardening club is for retired people who either don't have a garden or have mobility problems, but i'm sure some exceptions can be made for younger gardeners in their 60s who feel like coming to share a couple of hours every 2 weeks.Pass the voice on to your older neighbours, friends and acquaintances though - you never know. Thanks. Mara

hello, next tuesday 01 june, although i think the bulk of the group is going to turn up the following tue 08 june. Next week i might have a couple of people coming, and hopefully it'll be a nice day and we'll have plenty to do - the garden has exploded with energy and needs lots of TLC

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
