Happy Birthday for yesterday Vivien.  I hope that all the presents were of the snowdrop kind!
Sorry I'm late - I've only just worked out how to post a message!

 Hi, Gail, welcome to the forum!

Don't worry too much about 'plantae non gratae' - you'll find we discuss just about everything here, just as you would when meeting friends face to face for coffee and a bun!

Thank you for your greetings everyone. No snowdrops yet but I did finally get Martin's book so I'm happy.

Gail, it was lovely to meet you in Birmingham. I had not realised that I was sitting next to a famous author and photographer - your forthcoming book looks like another one to drop hints for :)

 :D Hardly famous Vivien, but thanks for the plug - the cheque is on its way (or should I pay you in snowdrops?)

Mmmm a bit modest I think Gail, well known to all the CGS members!

David and Rafa, I've just sneaked in with birthday greetings for you both, though it's already the 9th here, now. Very best wishes to you both and to other recent birthday girls and boys. Where do the years go, and why so fast? (The plaintive cry from those rapidly beoming "elderly."  ;D)
