The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

My Good Lady shared a house, now waiting for the second half.

What!! You dont live together?
Who does she share it with?
Go punch his lights out.

How much did you go home with then?

@welsh dragon

I recall that sadly the frost killed your Rhododendrons (spelling??).
Strange but ours are just blooming.

That looks really nice. Wish mine looked like that. All the flowers went all mushy and lost their colour. It looks very sad now.

We've got the same variety Rhododendron in our front garden. Just trying to work out how old it is, we've been in this house for 40 years, the previous owners were in for about 20 years and it was planted long before that. So a rough guestimate about 70 years old. Still looking fab, although not quite out yet, yours are early.

How the ???, can you tell one variety from another? I can just about tell a rose from a tulip.

I was curious as to what the plane was in Dave's picture

It was the nose that made it look Italian.

Six quid

Does that mean the airfield is also under threat?
Just thinking of the old airfield at Long Marston, on the other side of Stratford, if you know that? Isn't that becoming houses also? That is where the Hells Angels used to have their Bull Dog Bash and also the clubbers used to have their summer rave there

I haven't heard anything about that, but I wouldn't be suprised

Six quid

Better than nothing. A couple of drinks?

We made a lose of a couple of quid on the evening, but that doesn't matter, we had a good evening out.

Morning all, I have a little 10 mile circuit and twice last week it started raining at the furthest point, yesterday Pam came with me and no rain, she did though get a puncture at the furthest point.

Looks like a nice day for it today
