If you see this before you go, I hope you have a lovely time looking at all the bulbs - bring back lots of photos to make the rest of us jealous! Come to think of it, even if you don't see this before you go, I still hope you have ... (as above ).
Can't anyone round here keep a secret!!! What do you know?

OFF TO HOLLAND ARE WE?!
Ooooooh is Margi off on her hols??? I must have missed the announcement!
Oooh happy holiday Margi! Holland is it?
Nope. She and the Seedling are coming to visit Possum and me and I'm going to show them some gardens and a bit of Belgium. We were planning a day trip up to Keukenhof but because of the late spring they'll only have daffs on show which isn't enough to warrant the round trip. We've decided to do something closer to home instead.
OK - since you're all scarily interested, I'll 'fess up!
The Seedling and I fly to Brussels on Sunday and stay until Friday next week. We'll be staying with friends and being taken about to see lots of interesting stuff (though probably not actually the Dutch bulbfields, because the late spring means there aren't any tulips there yet - this just means we'll have to go again next year... Shucks!) We're having a day trip to Bruges, and seeing several other important gardens and Yellow Book gardens in the area, local markets, local ... err... bakeries(for the little girls, obviously!) and generally getting a flavour of a part of the world I know next to nothing about! Sounds fun to me...
I say I'll try to take photos, because I appear to be destroying technology on a regular basis at the moment, so how long I'll have a working camera for is anyone's guess, but I'll do my very best!
Now the down side, obviously, is that I won't be around on the boards as much, but if you really need to tell me anything Obelixx can get a message to me... I'm staying in her spare room!
We are SOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!
(BTW Plocket - I'll get you, me dearie, and your little dog too!!!)

Sorry Obxx - we crossed posts there...

Ps - See you soon! Heehee!!!
It sounds like a wonderful trip Margi - I wish I was coming too! I'll miss you but know you'll have a great time and be well looked after. In fact you might not even want to come back home!!!!!
Px
Aw thanks Plocket - I wish you were coming too! I'm sure you'd love it as much as I will...
One thing I have no doubt about whatsoever is that we're going to be well looked after - so far Obxx comes with sky-high recommendations!
Now - I'm off into the loft for my suitcase - can you guess what colour it is...?

Have a great time Margi!
Sara
Thanks - I don't think there's much doubt we will!

Perhaps I could tag along another year hey? Hope your technology problems sort themselves out too.
Pink with orange blobs by any chance???
Mwah! Px
That would be lovely, Plocket - we're just going to have to do it again next year! Technology - pah!!!
My suitcase, pink with orange blobs? Not quite - care to guess again?

I wish I could do HUGE PURPLE LETTERS....... PURPLE!!!!!! Px
Have a great time Margi! Happy Holidaying!
Whaw Margi!
I wish you a very nice holiday with Obelixx, I'm sure you'll have a great time!
Bruges is soooooooooo nice.
Have fun in my little country! (and enjoy the good food, and the good BEER)

Have a lovely holiday Xagrim - and don't take any s*** from that bull!
Toilet Daly x
I have technology too and have told OH it is mine all week.
The bull isn't back yet, probably end of April before we see if he remembers those nice people who fed him overgrown organic beetroot in the autumn when he was hungry or whether he's going to be grumpy again.
And yes, we will have to do Keukenhof next year instead.
HEY, MARGI!!!! You told me it was a secret
Susie x
Didn't realise it was a secret, Margi ! - you asked us not to have the party this week because you'd be away. Have just agreed with Lord Steve it'll be the 12th so hope you'll be back (or can share Obelixx's computer!).

Have a great time on hols Margi I'll be back in work on Monday at 8am
Margi will be home by then but I can't play. I have 3 generations of OH's brother's family coming for Easter the day after Margi flies home so won't be able to play on the PC.
Save journey Margi. Missing you already! Px
Thanks for all your good wishes - we're off in a couple of hours - I'm SOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!
Now I've just got to pack...

Don't forget the wellies. Very soggy here now, but sunny.
Just to let you all know she has arrived in one piece, complete with purple luggage and purple child and purple hair (partly) and is having a fine time so far. Off to see a serious spring garden in Flanders in the morning - Zelzate, near Ghent - and home via Brussels for a gander at the Grande Place.
We shall both have cameras at the ready so look forward to a good album for the gallery.
Have a great day - hope the weather is kind ... and snap away!!! The more pics the better!
Thanks for letting us know Obelixx - have a lovely time together and I look forward to seeing the photos!
