Janey's Inbox

Went to a Xmas market today in the next village to mine. Got a couple of unusual gifts there. Local towns have their lights up and turned on. I looked in town yesterday for the big tree that goes up in the square but it's not there yet. May-be this week.

I,ve been experimenting today Gilli , first of all on a high heat which left burn marks on them , due to the sugar content I think .. , I have now done them on a lower heat and left them half dry to dry off in a warm place , I will check them tomorrow ........:0)

I think the microwave might work Amy. If you put it on really low power. It's worth a try.

Lovely plant and it sounds the perfect place to enjoy the xmas celebrations!

Is that wonderful Finn in the photo ?

Lovely picture, colours of polyanthus so bright and cheerful, sure they will keep Tin Tin warm!

Peaceful and Mysterious!

Janey - I am so grateful for you going to the trouble of obtaining and posting this photo. Thank you so much. I am sure it will be a lovely tree in a few years time. I however liked your picture of the swamp cedar better. So now I am not so sure that the Japanese cedar qualifies for the honour of being the Welsh cedar in the prime location within my garden. I might look for another location for it. On further reflection they both look a little dense and I would prefer something that produced dappled sun light for this spot. What do you think?

It,s nice really ...... if you,ve got company ...........LOL

We have more than our fair share of haunted places in Norfolk !!!!

That's nice Janey.

I could put them on top of my nice new hot stove couldn,t I . No better not It might stain ........LOL

I did that last year Janey ,I found that the only way I could do it was to lay the slices out on kitchen paper on radiators , they would often get knocked to the floor . I tried some apples slices this year in the airing cupboard but they are still soft ...
I wonder if it would work if we gave them a couple of mins in the microwave first to take out some of the moisture !

That's beautiful Janey... but Cold !!

Janey, that is one heck of a photograph. I think it is beautiful and expresses a lot. Mist and fog, make some people uncomfortable To another, something else.

This could be a defining pictoral representation for January.
My representation a month for Ice-olation -- an earth that leans away from the sun, and misses its orientaion.

My partner for a long time, considered those weaving fingers of silences and the stiffness of deciduous limbs, but an encouragement to come back into the cabin and "Put wood in the kitchen stove, bouquets of apples and cloves. Wintergreen, horsetai, rose hips in the tea." Nancy

She had lived in a much wetter part of the Peninsula and had grown up here. Snow, fog and rain made her happy.

We have haven,t we Gilli it does make me shiver though .............maybe I,ve read to many storys about headless horse riders coming out of the mists LOL

Oh yes Janey , my toes are really toasty ,I even kicked my slippers off LOL ..... brilliant :0)

I think it depends on whether you've watched a scary TV programme or read a scary book recently!!

Looks peaceful to me Janey ...

Is that Finn in the photo ?
He's not creepy ~

LOL. Amy, you and I have two opposite impressions of this photo.

Wish I still had things blooming in the garden ! This is lovely.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

I saw a couple in Wyevale but they looked a bit sorry for themselves ~maybe try Morrisons!
