thinking of you; hoping all is well with you and that you may pay all of us here a visit come the new year...maybe.  X's

That's okay Jo, I guessed you probably didnt swing by the old garden very often but I still like to pop in. I lost your garden link and it wasnt showing in frozen gardens either so I couldn't find you for a while, but eventually tracked you down. I only play for an hour or so in the mornings while
I have my early morning tea. Did you see that Mike has started a marketplace for pots? Yup, all the old collectibles can now be bought for gold dust, as long as you've purchased gold in the last year, that is. Smart move, it was nuts there for a while but has settled down a bit now. Glad to here all is well over there in down under land. We're okay too, busy with the usual activities and commitments and just had a lovely couple of days in sunny Suffolk, ignoring the fact that the £ has tanked and we'll be  urging the furniture this winter to keep warm. How are you fixed for knitting me a woolly jumper? And if there's any wool left over, a pair of mittens 🤣 Sending hugs to you, my old mate xx

I hope all is well, Jo 🥰🤗

Hi Jo, sorry to hear that the virus laid Steve low for a bit, it's a nasty bug, for sure. I've read that some people are immune to it,  albeit you are one of those. I'm guessing you will be working over Easter? We have no special plans, maybe meet up with family for a picnic if the weather forecast proves to be right and we have warm, sunny weather. I hope you have a good time, whatever your plans. Sending hugs to you, me old mate xx

Sometimes the best birthdays are low key.  Thanks for keeping in touch and I look forward to more chats in the future.

Hi Jo, things are rolling along okay here. I've just recovered from a brush with the virus, not too bad in my case apart from a couple of days with a vile headache and feeling pretty tired. I isolated in the back bedroom, even though there's no legal requirement to do so any longer here. Stuart has been okay and seems to have dodged it so far, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hoping you, Steve and the family are all keeping well, sending a hug to you my old mate xx

Hi Joanne belated happy birthday, thanks for the visit xx

Happy belated birthday, Jo!  I was going to post birthday wishes on your FB page but it looked like a ghost town.  So much for social media, huh?!  All is well here and I hope the same for you.  As far as the fancy eggs go, they are like all things FL:  sometimes fun and sometimes frustrating and eventually boring.  I am going into the boring phase.  LOL  xxx

Hi Jo, I completely understand that. I think I would have had a break if it wasn't for Alice. Maybe if I ever get to complete the Caucus race I'll have a break, we'll see. This is the first challenge that's interested me since the FT's. Take care of yourself and I hope Steve gets better soon. Hopefully see you soon!
