All my most innovative ideas are greeted with that time worn phrase.<br />Ring me up when your verandah is ready, I'll pop over for a cup of tea with you, tee hee. Now I like cake with ICING to go with my cup of tea after I've flown over from Townsville.<br />Do you get to drive the tractor?<br />(I left a (more sensible) reply to your lovely comment at my place.)<br />cheers,<br />LouiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923254699323311906.post-5152839065279890112011-06-08T17:39:36.655+08:002011-06-08T17:39:36.655+08:00You ARE a one-woman country style magazine!
