What's all this then - I spend an evening with the local Horticultural Society and on my return find that stalwarts have jumped ship. How can this be - peeps are retiring to the boudoir early - others are taking up alternative pastimes or not showing up at all. Oh me miserum! as my old latin master used to say with monotonous regularity. Was it something I said or is there some secret society type forum to which the likes of myself are definitely not invited. Will I ever know? Oh the mystery! The intrigue! Whatever next? Bye fer now.
