Good luck from me too - hope they're fighting over it. lol

Oh Wagger, that would be a dream...thanks everyone for your encouragement. I think I will post a pic with this blog, how we did it, lol.

let us know how yoer day goes. fingers crossed.

Good Luck Marguerite!

Your talents are never-ending, Marquerite - brilliant piece of long-distance gardening. lol I award you the title of supermum.

Yay, I agree Wagger, Good luck M. I have seen Australian style auctions on the tv here in UK. They either go mad for it or just stand there looking dumb, well I think we all want to see them fighting each other off and sending the price through the roof.

All the best Marguerite hope all goes well for you........

You will be staying on GoY though, won't you?

Ohh, thank you everyone for your kind words. These sure will help. I am going to be outof the way, or else the dogs will spoil things, as they go bananas when people come, they twirl around them and bark, lol. Hubby will stay. Of course I let you know how it went.
Thank you Wagger for your compliment. I had to get hubby though, and he told me where to cut the branches so I just put the red x's there. He's the one who always pruned all our rosebushes and I used to have about a dozen of them in my old garden. This is my daughter's first garden and she is learning quickly.
Of course I will be staying on GOY. I am even taking my laptop on the long journey with me, so I can post pics from on the way. No, GOY is the friendliest internet site I've ever been on, so it's part of my life,

Phew, that's all right then. I'm sure you must have told us where you are going but I have missed it, can I ask where to look to find out?
Derrrr another Homer moment, I'd probably find out by reading your blogs Doh. Lol :-))

All the very best of luck with the auction Marguerite. Where will the long journey be taking you?

good luck with the auction and enjoy your long journey ......to where? somewhere nice i hope.......steve

Yes, we know the are very well, as we lived there for 37 years. It has much more sunshine than here, which is probably hard to believe, being in the tropics now. So we will be going "home" as it were. Our children, grandkids and friends live there and we miss them more than we imagined, lol. So we're heading south west, right to the other side of the continent. Ian, I probably haven't mentioned it before, so you didn't miss anything. I'm a bit like you, lol, forgetful.
We've even become great grandparents two weeks ago and would love to see the little babe.
Well, back to watering the garden.

We'd love to see a photo of him/her if you have one yet. You, your daughter/son and your granddaughterson must have married at 16!

Oh Wagger, you love puzzling don't you? I am 66, got married at 23. My daughter is 42, my son 40, and the youngest daughter is 36,lol. My son got married at 21 and his daughter now is 19 and she has the new baby boy. See, it's not that hard now, is it? Wink, wink.
Well, I will put a picture for you in my photo's but will take it off again shortly after. It's best not ever to have children's pics on open internet sites.
