United KingdomWhat's the Weather Like Where You Are?

Sunny here too... :dance:



How's the garden?
A lot of my flowers got zapped a week ago....


Luckily, I only had a few shoots coming through but they are pretty much gone I reckon. The bulbs I planted hadn't poked above ground yet, so I am crossing my fingers that they will be all right. A few of the trees we have have had their leaves burned off by frost, they *should* be all right and recover. Might not get many apples this year though... :(


yar...the fruit trees are hurting down this way! But main problem is it got way to warm very quickly.

United KingdomWhat's the Weather Like Where You Are?

there's a very funny passage in a Bill Bryson book where he wonders why British people are so obssesed with the weather when there's so little of it, and that he returned to the US to be in a place where the weather could kill you.

I'm currently in Hong Kong and the weather is grey and raining and a little muggy.


Love Bill Bryson!

ANY one ever grow any asparagus??


We're not going to as we don't plan to stay here for long. It takes ages (3 years from seed, and 2 from crowns, I think) to get a crop, but from then on it will keep providing for years to come. The spears that are left to bloom look lovely -- tall and fern-like.


thats what I hear...that it takes a while.
The next house we buy I really hope will be our last for a while!
I am sick of moving!
ajames79FemaleUnited Kingdom2007-03-19 13:47:00
United KingdomWhat's the Weather Like Where You Are?
It is a pleasent enough day here in NC. Very breezy so it makes it a bit cool.



I grow herbs and flowers. Doing a few peppers this year too!
I really don't have the best place for a garden in our house at the moment. But we are looking to buy a new place and it has a perfect place for a garden.

Planning on starting small...a small raised flower bed type garden. I've always called it a pizza garden.
Tomatoes,peppers, herbs....I wanna do some lettuce and cucumbers. I'd love to do some green beans. But just enough for us.


We are very lucky to know a lot of people who have successful gardens so we get a lot of fresh veggies in the spring summer and fall.

United KingdomYummy Yummy

Buy a breadmaker, it's the closet thing you'll probably be able to get to traditional crusty UK bread. Unless you live in Boston or similar, that is. I miss Farmhouse loaves. Big and crusty, you'd cut a chunk off and munch on it. Delicious.

That's what I am going to do...I have a bread maker and I think I will start to make good use of it for Chris.
However my knives stink! I need to get some better knives for slicing!

Good luck though!!

United KingdomIs London now on a Go Slow?

Well...if it makes you feel any better, a lot of the US and ME/NA filers are waiting a hell of a lot longer than UK filers.


isn't that the truth!!


But I know how you guys feel. Waiting sucks!

United KingdomJust a thanks
Hey guys!! Ahhhhwww! Thanks for all the well wishes!
Our reunion has been lovely! I did panic just before he wandered out of immigration at 2.5 hours after the flight landed! My heart was racing!

We drove home from Atlanta and promptly went for a snuggle and I couldnt help but just start smiling over naught. Just to have him here and to know I don't have to take him back in two weeks.

It was hard for his mum. But she will be here in a month for our wedding along with this family.

Today...well I am working. He came in for a bit and we looked at Cell phone plans. We have our first couples shower on saturday and then we go looking for a suit on Sunday. Ohh and wedding rings!
So I can say that we are getting into the swing of things!! I am just so happy.

Memorial day weekend we are meeting up with CarolineM and her husband for a music festival near Asheville NC. Exciting things ahead!


Again you all are awesome! Thanks for everything!
ajames79FemaleUnited Kingdom2007-05-17 12:41:00
United KingdomJust a thanks
Wanted to say thanks to all you who have helped and continue to help me through this process with either advice, friendship, and/or entertainment.
Even though we are no where near done, I feel like a huge part is over.
Having said that I am leaving right now to pick up Chris from the airport.

1 million thanks! :star:

United KingdomBird's custard in US anywhere?
And see I didn't use drippings from the meat. Not because that isn't how I was taught..but I use a really lean cut of mean and it never has much drippings. So I buy and it is just abit gross, *smile* that little plastic tub of lard in the oil section at the grocery!

It is easy when you get the hang of it! But it took me a few tries to per-fect it. And they are never perfect..just as close as I will ever be! :)
