Please look at this, everyone. It will tell you almost everything you want to know. Lyn

Hi Lyn

Just had a quick peep at the site, I think Rose will be very happy with your research. And it will stop PTP from 'waffling and daubling' any longer! Thanks Lyn.

Takes a lot more than that to stop me from waffling. He he

 Peter, well done you have typed a whole sentence with no spelling mistakes (I can talk! lol) think i've got the gist of spelling welcome now, till next time.

Oh Lyn!

Poor Peter.....see not even poor 'old' Peter! But that really is a swipe that shall remain for a later date.  Notice he didn't make any mistakes again, perhaps he IS clever after all!!

 Lyn ..."kind soul"  as you will see I have managed the knack of changing a chess peice into a Rose! Prehaps this will encourage me to tackle the functioning of digital cameras. ...what can I say, I am old-fashioned, used to the fun of over-developed film!

Peter, Thanks for sharing the photo, its a beauty. I saved a copy to my picture file. Hope thats okay!

Lynda,  The website looks fantastic, thanks. I've bookmarked it for future reference. ...must do something about my bookmarks though, takes me a full 7 minutes to get from one end of the list to the other. I think many of my favorites have been bookmarked 5 times or so. I've been meaning to ask,  are there any pictures you are willing to share of the Cob cottage belonging to your Mom?

Also, You mentioned that it was the wealthy that were able to have kitchen gardens, ...what about country cottages? In Canadian garden magazines there is this fascination with the "English Cottage Garden" which is supposed to be a mad tumble of flowers, herbs, and vegetables growing every which way. (...my own garden has those wild tendencies) does such a garden style actually exist in humble country cottages or is it a romantic North American invention?          Rose
