Guest paul y Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 so do I Richard, mainly so I can give away a load of d capensis! I am tempted to get the train down as its only £45 for the return but then I have to pay for taxis to and from the addresses and I also have to change trains at Exeter and you can ask ian and Dianne how much I carry home, trust me its a lot. plus I would like to meet a few more people put names to faces, make a detour to poke fun at garys beebum and take him some sperm whale spunk for his sunburnt toes! so to reiterate my offer, big fat wedge towards your petrol and when you drop me off in Bristol I will have black bamboos, dahlias, penstemon, iris etc etc etc all free of charge as a big fat thank you for driving me about. regards paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Are you hoping to go to John's too Paul? I was at Gary's about 3 weeks ago and will be going back again next month hopefully. I'm temporarily living at my mother's in west Cornwall as she needs care at the moment. She's trying to sell her house there so she can move over to Ireland and live with me.

Guest paul y Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I only wish I could do johns evening as well but that would mean even more taxis, somewhere to sleep etc. read my posts above if you are going and want to give a man a lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisB Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi Paul if you can make it by train come to Torquay rather than Paignton. I can pick you up at the station. cheers Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul y Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 hi dennis unless a family member steps in to look after my son its very unlikely I can make it, thanks for the offer of a lift its really appreciated thanks again take care paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
