Do you visit garden centres?

Forgot question:-

Do you even enjoy a lie in at weekends?

I just lie in when I want to as my sleep habits are so weird.

Edgar Rice Burroughs "Mars" series which I read in my teens

"The Princess and Curdie" Written by George MacDonald. I has wonderful illustrations and copies of it sell for a good sum now.

Carmen Miranda I Yi Yi Yi Yi I like you very much.
She used to stick the fruit bowl on her head and sing it to us when we were very small.

Are there any books you read when you were young that you would like to read again.

A little, not much.

Which song reminds you of your mother?

I don't do much at Bank Holiday. Too busy. I prefer to go out at quieter times.

Have you had much rain yet?

Both questions. Big garden which was well stocked when we moved in. Seems always full of different things

We don’t usually do much on Bank holidays as we live near the sae and it is usually heaving. Went to a food festival this morning. Very disappointing . Only 3 stalls with food products, the rest cards and jewellery
So what might everyone else be planning ?

Sorry, I just saw that question asked above.

So... what do you do with the garden when summer plants are past their best? Do you plant hanging baskets with winter plants, heather maybe, and ivy? Any ideas please?

Yes, I definitely preferred working for men. They are fairer and less scary, I always found.

Do you get depressed at bank holidays? It always hits me hard. this bank holiday stuff, everyone else having fun while I'm alone. Sorry, I will bounce back soon. Anyway, do you like bank holidays? Do you do anything in particular?

Tomorrow I’m going with a friend to a Tudor exhibition the meal.. Had to book and pay for tickets for exhibition. Nothing planned apart from that.

Have you found a difference working for men or women?

I like traditional English roses

Are you planning anything special for bank holiday?

I will be busy working getting customer orders out the door but planning to take most of september off

Front garden, with very large pond, faces south, but we are shaded by large trees.

Mother to children “What would you like for tea tonight?”

We ate what we were given.

Do you have hard floors or carpet? We have carpet upstairs, wood down. Just cleaned it all.

I used to have a lot of family gatherings here, with all that entails, but now widowed, I prefer eating out or my DC help.

What did you never hear said growing up?
(Pass the remote)

Yes but only on a few occasions, I’ve done glam rock (Marc Bolan), Snow White and one Boxing Day, many years ago I ended up going as Nell Gwyn, it was about the only outfit left in the hire shop.

Do you enjoy hosting family parties at your house or do you prefer all meeting up in a pub or restaurant to celebrate.

Yes. That's how I got into these psychological thrillers which I am now hooked on.

Have you ever been to a fancy dress party? What was your costume?

I’m reading/listening to Dumped Actually -a left-over from my pile of frivolous reads for the summer. I’ve never read anything like it before.

Do you try something different from your usual choice of reads when you’re on holiday, just for fun?

Jane Mcdonald when she's on one of her cruises.

What book are you reading at the moment? I am reading a book on my kindle - "One Man and His Bike" - a true record of a man cycling all around Great Britain (Second time of reading and just as enjoyable!!)

Whose! Dammit!

1960s when I was at art school.

What is your favourite clothes label? Mine ,sadly is Toast, but it is so expensive.

I don’t really have one at the moment, because not many places do stuff in my size. I’m not actually that big, but I like things a couple of sizes up too.

Most of my clothes come from Sea Salt (which is a GN favourite)
I also like dresses like the ones that Kirstie Alsop wears. I used to know the designers name, but I’ve forgotten it. They are about £500.
I really like the way Helena Bonham Carter dresses, I think that she wears a lot of Westwood.
Sorry, I’m rambling!

Who’s look do you admire? ?

hollysteers

Is this the end of the question thread Fanny?
I hope not ?

No, no! Of course not! I’m glad that you like it by the way, I saw you mentioned it on another thread ?
