I chose yellow as the default white seemed to have quite a glare.<BR/><BR/>Anna - it's the second year in a row that it's happened :) And yes, Threadspider's a very special friend!<BR/><BR/>Esther - you've given me an idea - must put the sorrel in a pot and bring it back here<BR/><BR/>Karen - no you didn't and thank you! <BR/><BR/>Susan - I love your choice of the word giddy :)<BR/><BR/>Hermes - yes, a very good friend :)<BR/><BR/>Nutty Gnome - sorrel's fantastic in salads as well as soup - a sharp, lemony flavour as well as looking fab. Do give it a try.<BR/><BR/>Claire - I do, but the way you put it made me giggle :)<BR/><BR/>Carrie - the robins are sitting very firmly on the nest. I was rootling around in the shed for a good 5 minutes before Mr or Mrs decided enough was enough. It gave me quite a shock even though I'd been wondering if they'd return this year!<BR/><BR/>Monica - in the absence of humming birds in this country woody's are amongst my favourite birds.<BR/><BR/>TS - thank you so much. Gald you like the new layout!<BR/><BR/>Flighty - thanks! xVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-36480964429138655242009-04-01T19:03:00.000+01:002009-04-01T19:03:00.000+01:00That's a handful of uplifting items which should w...That's a handful of uplifting items which should warm anyone's cockles!
