So really cute! I love it!

I'm sure there are. There are rules and restrictions here within the U.S.; I'm betting they're tripled or quadrupled to go overseas.

I love stained glass, too. My cousin does some really pretty pieces. She made my Mom a red-winged butterfly for Yule this year, as well as a bunch of butterflies for her siblings, all different.

The purple tomato is a Cherokee purple. I've grown Mr. Stripey, Pineapple (one of my favorites; it's very tasty, large, and red, orange, yellow, and green), and my favorite cherry tomato is the Sunsugar. It's so sweet, it's almost a dessert tomato!

I will have to point out that group to my ex-roomie; she's always looking for things to help with her writing.

I used to do computers all day and all night but now that I'm ten+ years older, I don't do it as well.

I haven't really drawn or painted in a while. It's one of those things I want to get on to this year; being more artistic!

The butterflies sound gorgeous! I'm a big fan of butterflies and dragonflies.

I'm betting American varieties of tomato aren't available in Britain, even as seeds, and vice versa, which is a shame, all part of the restrictions designed to keep pests, fungi, molds and diseases from spreading across borders. It's a pity though. I'll have to see what interesting varieties I can find here, but it'd been years since last grew my tomatoes from seed. I tend to just buy young plants these days.

I hope it might help her, it's a good community with monthly check-ins and all sorts of advice posts.

I'm on mu=y computer practically all day because health issues mean I'm unable to work and I don't get out much either. Most of my friends are online, so I chat, and I write, and if I can find time, I read. I like the company I find online, keeps me from getting lonely.

Good luck with getting back to your artistic endeavours!

They are very pretty. My cousin made a red butterfly for my mother and I found a very large one at a yard sale a couple of years ago in blue and yellow. Mom has a few stained glass cardinals (the bird) I found, as well as a stylized blue bird my cousin made her (as well as a a blue heart). I have a couple of tiny windows and a full-sized window that came from Nottinghamshire.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tomato seeds aren't available in Britain (and vice versa).

I understand having friends through the computer! I have met some really wonderful people through mine.

How long have you had the one from Nottinghamshire? It's probably not one of ours that were taken out, but... (Yes, I hail from the land of Robin Hood *grins*

It's just amazing the people you can meet online. It's a lot easier to find people with similar interests online than in day to day life.

I bought my Nottinghamshire window (because I am a huge fan of Robin Hood!) in Florida - about two years ago. The gentleman who sold it to me said he buys them regularly and brings them to the States for sale. I got a really good price on it, too and my friend mailed it to me since I couldn't put it on the plane to bring it back here.

And it's mostly clear glass, with a thin ribbon of yellow running through it and some auburn bits here and there.

It is amazing who you meet - and from where. One of my dearest friends is from Peru. We met so long ago!

[badly_knitted]

Sounds lovely, but it's not one of ours which had a fleur de lys type design. Would have been stretching coincidence too far if it had been. Still, how cool is it that a Robin Hood fan should bump into a Notts resident completely by chance!

My closest friends are in Florida, Colorado, Canada, Argentina, and Germany. I don't think I've met anyone from Peru. I like to look at my ff.net stats sometimes to see where my storis are being read around the world, and it's fascinating to see countries like Latvia and Togo popping up. I'm useless at geography, I couldn't say where they are without looking at a map, but I'm constantly amazed by the way the internet can bring people together no matter where they are.

[evil_little_dog]

It is in my bedroom window but I never see it because I have the blinds closed most of the time.

Yes, I've been a fan of Robin Hood for almost as long as I can remember. One of my dreams is to make it to Sherwood Forest for at least a little visit.

The internet is very good for helping people introduce themselves to others! Fandom helps with that, definitely.

[badly_knitted]

It's a shame you don't see it much, but still a cool thing to have.

It you visit Sherwood Forest, I recommend making time to visit Nottingham Castle too, get your photo taken with the Robin Hood Statue out front. The Robin Hood experience in town is supposed to be pretty good too.

Fandom is a great basis for friendships, I've found. Then they branch out from that as people discover other interests they have in common.

[evil_little_dog]

Those are very good suggestions!

I HOPE to get to visit Sherwood this year - or at least Wales. We'll see how that goes!

[badly_knitted]

Well, the two aren't really that far apart, GB is a very small country, and coach fares aren't too bad or so I've heard. You might be able to swing both.

Check this out, you can see the statue - he's not life-sized, but still...

How very, very cool!

It really depends on my friend - she is going for work and we will be on her schedule. And if I can afford the trip, of course.

[badly_knitted]

Well, hopefully you'll get there one day even if it's not on this trip. It's not going anywhere.

[evil_little_dog]

Yes, this is true. :D
