The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

The flowers on my Rhodedendron are all dead now. Yesterday the flowers were a lovely deep red colour, then the frost struck. Now all the colour has been leached out of them and they are all dead.

ah.... but you don't have to be old to be retired

Yep......big 60 today. Not sure whether to celebrate or cry with depression at getting old! Lol.

Many Happy Returns @Mo1959
Enjoy the day and be happy

If I recollect there were some quite funny moments in the programme.

He just likes being controversial

Guinness or Murphy's missen, leaving the lighter coloured stuff to others.

Forgive my ignorance Mrs D, but will there be more flowers during the year or are those the only ones you get in the season?

That Bridge was made for a James May show, I think it was made from Mechano, I do not think it was there long, certainly I have never seen it.

And it's shown in front of the building he (@Dave7) "worked in" and will be revisiting, on a paid tour.

Paying to be shown round where he used to work!

It only flowers once a year. That is it until next spring.

And just to add pain, the whole building is now owned by the guy that ownes Everton FC and apparently the 9th floor is all done out in blue

No.....but it was Mo that said she was getting old.

I am quite upset by it. This was the best year we have ever had for the flowers. Oh well. Hopefully next year will be better.
