Worth all our support...taking place in my part of the country, although, I'm sure there will be swimmers competing from all parts of the country and beyond...lets all get behind them....
I spent two weeks at home recently...and I couldn't believe the sense of comaraderie, sportsmanship, team spirit that the Tri Ath club has brought to the community....they are all fit buggers...I had to flee... anyway...win or lose, I'm sure they will  put up a worthy attempt.

My sister and family are holidaying in South West France at the minute.  Looking to watch the Ulster Final....They are in the Charente Maritime region...Nearest towns are Royan or La Rochelle.  Does anyone know any bar in that area that might be showing the Ulster Final.  Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Any advice appreciated from those among you with green thumbs.  With spring in the air, I'm planning on doing some planting.  I have a three tier rock garden, on either side of the steps, at the front of my house.  It's a very old house and all the stoops retaining walls really need to be replaced, but unfortunately I am financially challenged at the moment, so I am going to try and make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. 

I have planted a lot there over the past couple of years with very limited success. I reckon someone in Australia has a lovely garden, coz there is frig all came up on my end...  Last year (by accident) i discovered wave petunias...they were among a box of wildflower seeds i threw down in an attempt to add some color.  I have ordered a few dozen wave petunia plants for this year and am hoping they will hide a lot of imperfections until such times as the walls etc can be replaced...Has anyone had any experience of these.  Also, I have a mother and father of an oak tree in my back yard...any recommendations on fast growing shade plants would be appreciated.
I know there was a previous thread on gardening...but I couldn't find it...so apologies for starting a new thread on this....
