at the Hay Festival talking to Rosie Boycott. I'm so excited!!
Then Tamsin Greig, Debbie from the Archers. I hope the weather is as fab then as it is today, as we'll be camping.

oh, lovely. One of dh's customers is friends with him and apparently he is LOVELY!

Earthymama · 01/05/2007 10:10

He's my hero, he'll be talking about the work he's doing with disaffected young people. Both DP and I are Youth Workers. though I don't do much with that age group now, so it'll be really good to see how he's overcome the animosity in a rural community.
I admire he way he's been so open about his depression; he talked about it when I was at my lowest and it really helped.
And, of course, he is Gardening Giant, no frills or frippery, just stuff you think you can try yourself, in your tiny garden.
All that and Tamsin, who I saw in Much Ado in January, I'm sooooo excited

Monty has ginger children, that makes him even more wonderful (ginger children with curly hair too, just like my monkey - that makes him super special ). Tell him GM says hello and blows kisses to him and his lovley little children .

pointydog · 01/05/2007 19:56

funny, yeah that sounds like the sort of fans Monty'd get!

Oblomov · 01/05/2007 19:58

I like MD. How can you not ? Well jealous

Gingermonkey · 01/05/2007 20:02

pointy - are you picking on ginger folk? That's just racist that is, I've got my spade armed and ready

pointydog · 01/05/2007 20:07

ginger I can stomach. Monty I can't.

My last post was to funnyperculiar, not a comment on the Ginge Race.

Gingermonkey · 01/05/2007 20:21

I'll let you off (was up for a spade chase then, fancy it anyway?!)

pointydog · 01/05/2007 21:52

oo Benny Hill-esque

joash · 01/05/2007 21:54

I once ran into Monty in Liverpool (literally ran into him) and almost knocked him over. He was lovely, seems to have a sense of humour and is very, very tall.

Gingermonkey · 01/05/2007 22:13

This is fun, isn't it, Pointy?!

pointydog · 01/05/2007 22:15

O it's hilarious!

Unfortunately I now have to run very quickly over the lawn in my high heels and bra, mouth and eyes round, and run into my house to do some work.

Gosh I'm breathless

Gingermonkey · 01/05/2007 22:19

I like your low cut, tight nurses uniform, Pointy!!! Just look at your boobs in that - amazing, you must have a very good bra on!!! Phew, I need a sit down, I'm not as fit as I used to be

pointydog · 01/05/2007 22:20

bloody hell. This is getting pervy now

Gingermonkey · 01/05/2007 22:23

I really must calm down, it's the thought of Monty

Earthymama · 02/05/2007 09:17

I missed all the fun!! DP was drooling over tools we don't need and can't afford so I flounced off to bed!!

We planted broad beans last night!! It was very exciting as DP usually does the 'Hard Work' ie building, digging etc while I plant things; I was desperate to get the beans in so DP planted some too.
I'll let you know about Monty; we're going in our new tent to Hay. My DD says we've bought such a big one so that we can invite Monty and Tamsin back for G&Ts, do you think they'd be interested?
