Hello I use my grass clippings as a mulch around almost everything as it helps to keep the weeds down in the beds plus it keeps the moisture in the soil when it gets hot, also I have chickens so i let them play in it before i compost it as they help to break it down. have a ask around neighbours friends who dont have lawns they might want some to add to there compost?( im assuming everyone in the world compost) if you have some where where you can dry it out in the sun it can then be used under strawberry plants and flooring for pet cages, in fact im just off to publish 101 things to do with grass clippings there has to be a book in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy gardening

Ok where exactly is that camera you put in my house? or are there really other people out there like my husband and I and Tigue and Balloo? -
Many thanks for all your advice/ideas i must admit i have been trying to put off going back to any class room, but i know thats what I have to do. I just learn much better when Im just doing it rather than being told how to do it, if that makes sence. trouble is i work nights, and do voluntry work and my garden in the day, plus looking after all my animals, that these classes just dont happen in the times I can do (thats my jolly good excuse and im sticking to it) so i guess its buy a c.d. and stick it on my i pod while i sleep, i hear that works ....................Still only 3 months and I will be out there again putting it into pratise. lots of luck to you.

Hello, well lads I have been trying all day to down load my picture, so im going to give up for today, I think you are right it is just to big! trouble is i had a computer crash last week all my programmes were taken off and restored but it looks like my photoshop hasnt been put back on so i cant reduce it at the mo. But watch out the big white lady with brown spots will be appearing here soon, I jest not!!!!!!
many thanks for all messages of help, but this is one i will just have to blame my tools on, not that im a workman .

Thanks Phil
Yes that is what I thought i had to do and I get as far as getting the picture on but when i update it I get page not available sign, so I guess its just a case of patience and keep trying. I think you will agree when(if )you see my picture I have thought long and hard so as not to look silly, but it dosnt do me as much justice as yours ..........

Hello
I can just get away with ordering my food and coffee and saying hello to every one and hope i have fooled them.
I can count to ten, and know a few colours, I have just got back from carcassonne, and while i was there i managed to open a internet bank account with a bank person who spoke no english and I think all went except I havnt received any passwords yet to actully look at my account but im assuming my money is safe........., I also brought a house and dealt with a notaire,(although the estate agent did most of the talking there, I just smiled a lot) I would be happy if i could just talk a little to my new neighbours and keep my self fed while im out there, I have been teaching myself out of a book for ages but dont know how to say the words as i havnt heard them spoken, but i can read a bit>>>
What kind of level are you at? where do you live? (I am about 10 miles north of launceston towards Boscastle ) do you have a place in france? where? are you F/M ? and where shall we meet for a coffee? (oh and Im nosey... No not really) hope to speak soon regards pads

Hello Im in the middle of bying a house in france, (Montage Noir) We get the keys in August but it feels hundreds of years away, while out there i realised how bad my french is. I live in Cornwall (launceston) and wondered if any one out there lives close enough to meet for coffee once in a while to spend some time chatting in french so we can help each other, Im just a normal 45year old woman, (so no nutters please!!!!) many thanks Pads

Many thanks for your good wishes ali@ads, we are moving to the montage noir area to a small village called pradelles cabardes its miles fom anywhere and is in a stunning location, its taken me 20years to talk my husband into this, so no book is going to get me down, you should keep reading living france the stories are much more cheerful.

Hello
I have also just read that book, I must say it has taken me down a peg or two, we are in the middle of bying our house at the moment and get the keys in august(cant wait) but at the end of the day it will be down to us how they take us. I have always found smiling at every one even if they dont understand you works. So here,s to hoping ( I say with glass of wine in hand, just pratasing of coarse!!!!!) good luck with your move pads[:D]
