Oh that picture is gorgeous Raddang. Merry Christmas to you too and I hope 2017 is a really special year for you.
Raddang, you have been such a great addition to the Garden Stew family--thank you! That is a great picture, and a very warm message. I wish you the same.
That is very kind of you MG. For more than 10 years I have been an active member of an Egypt based forum. We have been going to Egypt for 20 years but after the 'Arab Spring' and the subsequent unrest, tourism to Egypt has all but dried up. The main carriers don't go there any more so the forum slowly declined until it is now virtually dead. I was introduced to GS by a fellow member and have found it a breath of fresh air. I am not a gardener and don't have a garden but I find plenty more to interest me and to contribute to on GS. Thanks again MG and Seasons Greetings to you and yours....
I want to second what Marling said. Of course this forum is oriented to gardening, but it is broad-spectrum enough to interest non-gardeners as well. Great that you are here and enjoying the forum so much.
