    Hi all, I don't know exactly what happened as I have yet to hear from my hosting service but the site has been down for almost 3 hours. We seem to be back on our feet now so yay! Hope you didn't go too crazy waiting for your Stew fix 8)

    Ignore the PM I sent you a few minutes ago Frank as you've just answered my question. Thank goodness we're all back together again as I hate when the site goes down.

    I put out updates on the site downtime on our Twitter page:
    http://twitter.com/gardenstew
    It's a handy way of communicating with everyone when the site is down so I recommend signing up for updates there :)

    I sat here at the computer hitting the refresh button for two hours hoping the stew was back. :eek:
    Finally just left the house, went to the grocery store for Mom and down to visit with her so I wouldn't have to think about it. ;)

    Just got home and what a relief. :-D

    What a wacky day, it seems there was a problem with images not uploading also. And also just now apologies if you were seeing some strange messages appear. I hope that it is fixed now.
