Each time I click on this thread all I see in the Q is 'How's Gladys?' How very biddy.

Good morning gardeners -

Gessoo I am feeling much better today, so would now like to ask how was your stay in Menorca? At that time here in Ibiza we had several rainy days, was it the same for you. I have never been there, and have heard that it's very flat compared to the rest of Spain, is there much to do and places of interest to visit? Maybe Mr N and I will visit there.

[Robinia]

morning all - but it's certainly not a good one, wild, wet & windy.....

oh gnome! not that lot again - had terrible trouble with them a few years ago, said they were looking for somewhere to build a millennium gnome.....never mind, one glimpse of Vinny's sprites and they'll be off.....

Jude there must be something in the air, I can't keep awake this week....makes me wonder what's drifting over from spondon sometimes....

glad you're feeling better neti, you can start pruning that lonicera fragrantissima please.....I asked this fella but all I got was.....

tut.....

[VINNY100_2]

Hi Everyone.

What an absolutely dreadful day!!! Wind rain and not very warm.

Neti. This was my third visit to Menorca and I absolutely love it. It is very quiet compared to the other islands and has committed itself to being 'green' so is remaining unspoilt. There are a few resorts where it is somewhat touristy - but not too bad - but in 1993 most of it stopped and now any development conforms to its strict standards. It is quite flat in areas but the North West of the Island is quite rugged with some quite high hills and it is very green with quite a lot of agriculture. The people are just lovely. We went into a national park on the North West corner and it was idyllic - we spent time watching colonies of bee eaters! The beaches are to die for lots of little hideaway sandy coves with rocky outcrops.

The old capital of Cuitadella is beautiful and well worth a visit and Mahon is quite interesting especially around the harbour.

It's a very, very clean island indeed. Now I have talked myself into wanting to return.

To be continued................................

Continued.......................

Our first two days were sunny but reasonably cool and then we had four really lovely days. Our last day was rainy, which was a shame, but it certainly didn't spoil our holiday. We had a really lovely villa with a pool - but I didn't try the pool - water was just too cold!!!

I am glad you are feeling better, Neti.

xx

Hello everyone. Glad you're feeling a bit better Neti. I've just finished my weekly stint at work been a bit weary this week probably because I was off 11 days before and had to get back into my stride.

I've always wondered about Spondon Robinia. There have been a lot of cases near me that it could have been responsible for.

Great sound effects Vinny but i wouldn't know if it was me or not I have nobody to tell me if I snore or not. I do have the odd nightmare though!

All being well Jno I'm going to see The Da Vinci Code on Sunday. Let me know what you think. I haven't read the book so I don't quite know what to expect.

I've been to Menorca Gessoo. I stayed in a place call S'Algar.I found it very quite but had a good time. We went right to the top to the highest point where there is a monastery I think or it could have been just a church I'm not sure.

[Robinia]

oooh sounds lovely gessoo. You could have had a dip in my pool but seems that a certain person has already been there....

wonder who?

Jude, yep, you do snore....we can hear you over here... :o)

I've discovered where shaney's disappeared to...seems she's been giving free lessons

gnome skills

Hi Jude and Robbie.

Just trying to get inspired to do some work when really I want to go to sleep. Am feeling better but far from perfect. Just so tired, like you Jude, at the moment. My bed is only a staircase away and seems very tempting.

Repeat after me, Gessoo,

I must do some work, I must do some work,............................................

LOL at the picture of your pool Robbie!!
