Hello chaps. Not been around much lately but I keep popping in from time to tme and posting the odd snippet. And do you know what, I still think this is the friendliest board I have come across. I visit several oher mesage boards reflecting other interests and it is is disaqppointing how often posts appear to go ignored.I am not saying people on those boards are deliberately unfriendly, they just don't seem to be making any great effort to join in conversation. Whereas here there is usually some kind of response, even if it is just a smiley or something. You are a great bunch - keep it up

God Bless
Dr Bill

I think GWD members are all so helpful and encouraging, and we have a laugh from time to time which is also important, and have the ability to laugh at ourselves

The shared love of gardening without being mega-competitive is a big bonus too

I was only saying to RF a while back how nice it is here that folk 'talk' to each other rather than just posting their own thing. Excuse me doing just that in the Coffee Shop but I'm spitting mad!

This is the only board I post on, I think the best thing is that no one takes themselves too seriously i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

Some of the boards that I lurk on for other interests only seem to be interested in arguing i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/rolleyes.gif
