OOooh, I forgot to mention that I like the Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin, for the fantasists out there!! And I have Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality and the series with the jockey, the robot woman and the Tourney, if you've read it you'll know what I mean!! I can't remember the name and it's in a box in the garage and I'm not looking for it!!

The gardening book is an ooooold (1976!!) uk edition of The No-Work Garden Book by Ruth Stout, with UK relevant addition by Richard Clemence. She used hay and normal vegetable waste for mulch, and it's a book in LLL-ish style of 'this is how I did it and it worked,' rather than this is how it must be done :-)

Speaking of LLL, I'm really fired up by the flyer I got this morning for the LLL European conference to be held in Nottingham this year. Any Europeans on the list who will be going? Or non-Europeans either, it sounds like a really good do!!! Talk about mixing causes, huh? I'll get struck off before I get struck on at this rate!!

TTFN!
Tracy

>No Work Garden
maybe "Lasagna Gardening?" - have been using the 'method' for a year or
so and it IS easy and very effective, too. It suits our style - not a lot
of work, pretty foolpfoof and LOTS of results

For reading - have a look at Diana' Gabaldon's series -
Outlander, Voyager, ( forget one title) and Dragonfly in Amber - 3 more
books to come. David got me the Companion to the series for Christmas and
acknowledged with a kiss that he was unlikely to get the chance again
until the book was devoured (hee hee).
Make sure your library has all volumes before starting - or get that
interlibrary loan thing going! There is a site I like (clevermoms.com)
that has quite a few book discount coupon codes for Borders, B & N and so
on.

David is reading Clive Cussler's newest novel - says it is almost as good
as the Dirk Pitt ones (new main character) and is on the 3rd Harry Potter
with our daughter Hannah. 14 year old son Davy - who started reading at
8 and a half - is now reading Lord of the Rings series again and
impatiently waiting for another David Eddings (read that ENTIRE series
twice, too). Recently discovered a novel by David Drake, "Lord of the
Isles" and is scouting today for a prequel or sequel. I read it, too -
very good. Armus is having us read him fish stuff fish stuff and more
fish stuff as he just started an aquarium.
