Ace!!! Hi Genie

I also used to live near Bath... but the closest I got to knowing the terrible twins was reading an article in the local newspaper and thinking WOW what a great idea and how lovely it would be to meet them! We then moved, first to Herefordshire and now to Aberdeenshire.

So... hello from me... and you made Andykins (that is SOOOOOOOOO gonna stick) blush so much that he hasn't given the right addy for the photo so we are all in suspense til he's back online again :mrgreen:

Andy! You've got bindweed growing up your sunflower!! Tut tut. It'll get strangled and you won't win your competition! :lol:

OOps. Edited to say - it's got red flowers, it's not bindweed. :oops: What is it?
