I had to buy four plants this spring and I planted them and they are all up, growing and healthy. They are also covered with tomatoes.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading this post. Sounds like the area we live in except we are in town. People around here are measured by how long they have lived in the house and if they are the original house owners. We are and two others so we three are about the oldest residents.<br /><br />Every visitor counts, big time...<br /><a href="http://pickapeckofpixels.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Pick a Peck of Pixels</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-38372307304054297972009-07-16T12:52:16.800-04:002009-07-16T12:52:16.800-04:00Hello Gill!

I think your idea of sharing the bounty is very wise and can do nothing but promote good will. Please accept my empathy regarding your new allergic condition. Last summer, out of no where, I developed severe allergies as well. I couldn't stand the medication (made me so sleepy and lazy) so just endured until the evenings when sleepy and lazy were a good thing. :-) I've since calmed them down quite a lot by monitoring my diet and including a lot of ginger in my pots of tea--even eating it raw at times (it contains strong anti-inflammation properties). I am so enjoying reading about your new life in the country. Over time, they will get to know you and see you for the good-hearted soul that you are... then it won't even matter if you're a "local" or not.<br />Good thoughts to you and your family.<br />Warmly,<br />Tracey<br />xoTracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-16478065741526116432009-07-16T11:26:37.854-04:002009-07-16T11:26:37.854-04:00Gill, we still get "you know, the __________ ...Gill, we still get "you know, the __________ house". We've been here 7 years. I'm sure when we leave it will then become the S house. That's a part of country living. I've heard it on every farm and home around our area. It's kinda neat I think. I don't think we will ever the "locals" here...there is just too much history of those who have lived here. They find it hard to accept "new locals". <br /><br />Can you cut your allery meds in half?Scrappy quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643346408388508283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-2380774087746865382009-07-16T09:00:37.951-04:002009-07-16T09:00:37.951-04:00Hi Gill:

Nobody would call it "The Fox Place", instead using the previous owner's name. I'm sure they still do.

We have moved since, and even WE still refer to it by her name! Looks like you'll be a newcomer for a long time. <br /><br /> Liz in TexasMyBulletinBoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961091298654325887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-47138845754443815702009-07-16T04:52:06.262-04:002009-07-16T04:52:06.262-04:00That made me chuckle, we have been in our village ...That made me chuckle, we have been in our village for 4 years and will probably never be 'locals'! Was talking to one of the ladies at the coffee morning last week and she has lived in the neighbouring village for over 60 years, brought up her family there and she said that she is only 'nearly local'!<br />Sorry to read that you haven't been feeling so good lately but I hope you have turned that corner and can feel better and better each day now.<br />Take care<br />Sarah xlandcuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539783011453017316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-57499938386284123822009-07-16T04:06:21.446-04:002009-07-16T04:06:21.446-04:00Look again at my advice on anti-histamines..unfort...Look again at my advice on anti-histamines..unfortunately a bit on an expert lol, and of course you are probably knackered anyway, yu are doing so much hehe!<br />Attitude determines how long you are an outsider..as an English person living in a foreign rural area I know how that feels. We shared all our excess crops last year, just like you are doing and now make an extra batch of cakes whenever I do the baking for the neighbours and we have been completely accepted, and I like to think, liked.<br /><br />We also share labour...when we were given the turf we also helped the kind neighbour to get his in.<br /><br />Keep up what you are doing and you will soon be one of the crowd lolstitchersanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844767540468536515noreply@blogger.com
