Reprise of Devon meet idea
|
|
|
| June was quite right, I was indeed sipping a glass of Madeira m'dear when
some of the replies to my original post about this came into urg. From the
little catching up I've had time to do today, I think the general thinking
is now to move the possible meet to Judith's? In case it isn't, and we
decide to have two, then yes, Janet, I think three hours from you to us
should just about do it. We allow 3 to 3.5 hours to get to London from here
by car and Jim (I think it was Jim) Bovey Tracey is mere minutes from here -
20 perhaps and Exeter airport (just to give you a bearing) is about half an
hour. We just drove home from there this morning!
Can someone kindly bring me up to speed on the Norwich meet idea?

Welcome back Sacha, I have missed you. Now then, you are not getting
out of the Devon meet, I proposed a second one - and you are, as you
know, very welcome to stay in the house - plenty of rooms.
I am thinking next June or early July and all those attending will be
invited to dinner - no Sacha, I have not learnt to cook yet, I am
offering Edward as the Chef for the night, I am quite adept as the wine
hostess.

How really kind - I'm sure we'd love to do that. Ray is longing to thank
you for the wedding present....... ;-)

Depending a bit on other family events coming up, we'd probably try to do a
meet in mid July OR, if it clashes with yours, I could try to move it into
May, as long as it doesn't hit a Bank Holiday w/e. It's really a question
of what is convenient to others in terms of trekking to the far SW!
We weren't able to do our Grand Tour of UK this year as we'd hoped, so would
quite like to plan it for mid July to mid August of next year. Unhappily,
we really can't get away to see gardens at their very best time because it's
such a busy time here.
Perhaps urglers would like to add their ideas of the best times to get away
to a meet and perhaps to make it part of a long w/e?

Dependant on the date you decide on, we would be happy to see any urglers
who decided to make more of a break of it and venture down a little further.
I am guessing you normally go for a weekend so we may be off working but if
not would like to join in, though no chance of us getting away at that time
of year (unless its work!) I will keep an eye on the thread to see what you
all decide on. (7th & 8th July look quiet at present)

For us, it will depend a bit on the date of the Devon show but that's
usually May. We *might* do the Royal Cornwall next year but no decision
yet.
Certainly week days are 'easier' for us but probably not for many urglers,
is my guess. Those wishing to come could perhaps do what some did last time
and make it a bit of a holiday break. That way, they could come here one
day and on to you the next, taking in the Eden Project, perhaps? And of
course, there's Rosemoor up north a bit and now Greenway is open to the
public, too.
A sort of 'two for the price of one' sounds a good idea, Charlie. And the
really keen with time to spare could take a day to Tresco, too and visit the
Abbey Gardens there.
Thinking along those lines I'd like to recommend the 'places to stay' books
by Alastair Sawday to those who don't know them.

Our gardening Association is doing Devon next year for the long weekend.
They are going to The Garden House, ChiffChaffs, Buckland Monarchorum,
Plant World, Desert to Jungle, Snape Cottage and Stourton Flower garden.

If it's any help, we all brought something to Jill Bell's when she had a
Meet. That way there was variety and though Jill did cook she didn't
feel obliged to do enough for everyone

Well, throwing my hat in the ring, as it were, we would love to go to a meet,
and could manage Sacha's since I have a cousin at South Zeal where we could
stay I'm sure. Would also love to go to Judith's <g> but I think the journey
is more of a problem for us to Norfolk.
However I will watch this space to see what dates etc are decided.

Really, there's no need, Edward worked and lived in Paris for many years
and he is a great cook. I expect you will have Blanquette d'Veau as he
seems to serve this up for supper - he has perfected the sauce!
Janet, I don't know how to thank you, a veritable crate arrived this
morning full of cuttings; I really cannot express my thanks to you. I
will pot some up and take them to France in November and the others
will be planted soon.
I have to pay your postage, the box was so big I could get at least 3
pairs of gold slippers in it? Please send me your address by email and
I will forward you stamps to the value of the postage.
I can't wait until this evening to go through them, Edward has strict
instructions to give them a little water and to keep them upright!

Would you like to suggest a date, just to get the ball rolling? I know
there are others but it's nice to get a consensus of what's useful to most
people.

If a 'covered area' is required, I have two substantial gazebos. One 3
metres by 6 metres, one 3 metres by 9 metres. Smaller one used at a Fund
Raising Garden Party not too long ago. Also used within the main marquee at
the International Festival of the Sea at Portsmouth last year. Can be seen
on http://www.rnshipmates.com/ click photos, then rnshipmates then IFOS 2005
to see the gazebo
Easy to erect and travels in the boot of my car.

rooms is that I have given to prospective urglers? uhm! o.k. so I'm in

At the first one I hosted Kay and family camped on the lawn. At the second,
someone put their motor home in our car park! There are many answers to
this problem..... ;-) I wonder if we can get Cormaic along to one of them.
That would be wonderful!

The River Dart is navigable up to Totnes, depending on tides and draft and
Totnes is about 20 mins from here! Over to you..........

Well since my father's family came from Norfolk many moons ago, I could
always use the excuse for a little family history.

Well at the moment we have B&B bookings from 22nd/23rd June and 29th June to
3rd July, so would need to avoid those periods, but really I'm happy to fit
in with everyone else. We don't depend on the B&B for a living, so are very
happy to say we are full when we feel like a break<g>.

When you show dogs, even in a limited way, journeys become relative.
I know people from Buckinghamshire etc who go to Scotland and back with
just the few hours at the show in between
even more surprising...........
NO detour to take in the odd nursery.

Glad they arrived! I've still got stuff I can split and the other
Abutilon etc.
Some stuff hasn't rooted yet either so there may well be another parcel
after you come back from your holidays

Some are quite small - that way I can do variety rather than size
Not much by way of very unusual stuff but I do have Thalictrums etc on
the go. The Semiaquilegia is very pretty and very tiny but worth
growing.

I've had 8 replies so far and all hope to come even if its just for the
day. I am going to email Cormaic and ask if he and Mrs. Taz would like
to come with Pester Girl and Slug Boy - do you remember the wonderful
anecdotes he used to post about them? Kay are you still in touch with
him?
Does anyone remember Jim Burgess, lovely chap, he hasn't posted for some
time - I hope he is o.k.
Jill Bell, you very kindly invited me to your meet but I couldn't go. I
do hope that you will come to Norwich, you can be sure of a warm
welcome.
Alan, are you and your wife coming from Windsor, plenty of room for the
caravan.

Definitely worth a visit and in particular the lavender fields in
Norfolk. Looking forward to seeing you - I will post a date when I know
what my work schedule is for the university year 2007/08. I will know
this around mid-March 2007.

Did I say I would like to come, Judith? I think I did - must be getting
old! I can stay with m-in-l. We go back a long time, you and I - long
before urg - to the days of the demon new-users group.

Nothing odd about this nursery, blink, blink, twitch! When I showed my
Weimaraner I drove from Hampshire to Devon and back in the day but for
someone from Jersey that was like a very major expedition, I can tell you.
I still think an hour's drive is quite long!

If at all possible, we'd love to come once we know firm dates. It would be
fun to see a bit of the world I hardly know at all, too. Thank you, Judith,
you've started what sounds like the foundations of a good meet. I do hope
Cormaic and Mrs Taz come, though their Pests are probably a bit grown up for
being hauled around with their wrinklies!

Judith, if we do go with the 7th/8th July for Devon & possibly Cornwall is
that pinching dates you'd like to have your meet on. I know you mentioned
July as a possible for you so don't let the south west contingent muscle in
on your available dates. I just would like to have one that you can
actually get to this time! ;-)

Thanks for the offer Mike but we are OK for covered area and have an small
marquee for overspill! :~)
The 7th 8th of July seems so far to be popular but I will wait and see as
others throw their hats in the ring.

You did June and you will be very welcome. Ah the days of Demon new
users, I remember you nearly took my head off for asking stupid
questions; I still ask them but these days I 'phone Demon - in fact when
you come to Norfolk I want you to have a look at Turnpike on my other
computer (1 for work and 1 for personal use ) as I cannot get Turnpike
to work on both).
Before the Norfolk meet, I will post in urg asking for details of all
your favourite food and what you don't like to eat.
Don't worry about the wine, we have loads at our house in France and I
will be bringing it back by the boot full .hic!
p.s. had an email from Kay and she will be asking Cormaic and Jane
Ranson and others that we knew and liked if they would like to come.
I've given all bedrooms away but we have two estate cars that be fitted
with blankets - no, only joking!

Don't worry Sacha, I will fit in with everyone else. We are off to Le
Pin last week in July until September 1st so it definitely won't be held
then - just a thought what about a French urg meet?
We have 6 bedrooms there, some are triple rooms. The garden is gravel
gardening and I think quite successful. Cheap flights with Ryanair or
Flybee - or you could drive down (Auvergne) stay a few days and then go
on elsewhere for a holiday - if anyone is interested in an urg French
meet, would you post here so that I can reply to all - it is on topic
after all!!
I can guarantee great food, copious wine, laughter etc., and we have a
swimming pool for cooling off - sorry no swim up bar.

Good can we have a teach in on that subject as, according to Demon, you
have to buy two licences to use Turnpike on both machines. I wanted to
do that (though just look at mail and folders) and it seems it can't be
done ................

Janet. Demon lie.
I had trouble with Demon after Andy Mabbett reported me to them for
something I had not done. It got VERY nasty and I threatened Solicitor
action. They backed down and I received an apology from them. I then ditched
them and went with BT and Outlook Express. NEVER looked back Andy Mabbet
'net nanny number one' did me a huge favour. :-)) Thank you Andy where ever
you are. I can guess :-((
Do yourself a favour. Dump Demon

The truth will prevail :-))

Yes, Demon had told us that you had to buy a 'second seat' (for £16). We
tried for ages: phoned many times, wrote, emailed ... Whoever answered
kept saying they would do it, but nothing ever happened. Finally we gave
up. My husband uses Outlook Express to send all emails, but replies to
both of us both work and private) still have to come to me.

What's most annoying is that when I'm in the other room on my computer I
can't see the mail or newsgroups, so can't reply or refer to anything
unless I physically go onto Tom's machine and bring up Turnpike. We
don't want to connect with email, just see the folders. I can post out
using Pegasus.
When we phoned Demon they couldn't seem to help and gave the impression
that it would be a very difficult task

But they never actually say "No, it's not available." They prevaricate,
they finally say ok - but nothing happens.
The REALLY annoying thing for me is that when an email comes for Eric,
it's so much easier for him to say: 'oh, can you tell him that ...' That
was NOT our partnership agreement ;-)
Oh, and I get the 200 junk emails - whatever happened to Demon's spam
filter?

Read my post on how Andy Mabbett did me a favour and I got rid of Demon
:-)))
I had two accounts with them. Now one with BT :-))))))

Demon told me that I can use Turnpike on both computers as they accept
that one cannot be on two computers at the same time. Hopefully this
hasn't changed - why not 'phone them again Janet and see what they say.

Klara, I had the same problem but Demon did sort it for me, I now reject
at least 100 junk emails a day without seeing them, Turnpike just tells
me how many were rejected

We've phoned them twice now Judith and it's the same story, they expect
you to buy another copy to go on the other machine but also that then
you would need to set up some system for downloading the emails even if
you only want to see what's on the other machine!
P.s. Seems also that there will be no more upgrades to Turnpike. They
are not doing anymore, so we were told.

I though we had to opt out of the filter for them to stop it - but I'm a
bit worried these days: we really can't afford for them to delete
anything that isn't spam .... and sometimes we get emails that are
difficult to identify, even for us. Because of our work we get emails
from academics all over the world, and quite a few of the spam emails
come from very similar institutions...
(by the way, did you say UEA? You wouldn't by any chance have access to
a spare Kooks ticket for Sunday, would you?)

I can't remember saying university of East Anglia so you must be reading
tealeaves! Edward is a Research Biophysicist at UEA perhaps you saw it
on their website.
There were spare Kooks tickets on the Intranet of my University
Hospital's site as somebody was unable to go. I will have to go onto my
hospital computer to see if they are sold (this is my personal computer)
and I will email you if they are still for sale.
