PAT. I AGREE WITH YOU, NOT WORTH LESS THAN £4 A WEEK.
AT LEAST YOUR KIDS CAN ENJOY THEMSELVES.
THINK OF ALL THE SNOWMEN THEY CAN BUILD LOL!!!!!!

Hi Pat

I put the programme on skyplus when you first mentioned you were going to be on tele. I just got around to watching it today. It was great to see your children enjoying themselves.

Lovely to put a face to a name.

Hi Pat
Yep thought it must be to one side but the disorientation was showing their access that looked like it was at the bottom of the plot.
I think i lost the PLOT !!! lol

Shirley

Thanks for the replies everyone,

Mo ,
We are practically neighbours then :-)

Jill,
We won't really do much else to it I doubt. We just don't have the time (or inclination).

Paulene and Liz,
thanks for the nice comments.

Diane,
My cat is very friendly and was probably seeking attention.

Shirley,
The railway isn't at the bottom of my garden. It is to the side :-) Does that stop he confusion? :-)

Crystalcat and Rachael. Thanks,

Tartan,
In the end the railway offered us £200 per year for unlimited access. We refused. We just were not willing to give our privacy away for £4 per week!

Pat

Saw you and your hubby, and wow! did you go for it!!!
Glad you managed to get the land, as also nice to put a face to the name.
Well done, and make sure the railway pays you a handsome amount for access.

hi pat
saw you on the telly what a good idea that was loads of room for the children and space for more animals!! lol you were very good
best of luck for the future with it rachael

Hello not spoken before but watched you on telly and I thought you were brilliant ! x

Watched it too although had to record half of it cos OH was getting a bit shirty cos he wanted an earlier start for the weekly shop.!!
You came across great Pat and me & OH did discuss where in Pump lane you are.Know the bridge but got a bit disoriented as to how the railway is at the bottom of your garden .
Shirley

Pat, it was good to watch the programme and see how you had done so much work on the plot. I am glad you got it and can make such good use of it - it will be a family memory to be talked about in generations to come and lovely to have a safe area for the youngsters to have fun in. When they get to the age they don't need so much playspace you can always have a veggie garden and greenhouse etc there perhaps and maybe a stall at the front to sell your goods lol
Nice to see Fudge and Rolo and family and hope they are all well now. You have a lovely family and should be very proud of them all and you came across well too.

Have a great Christmas, Santa has plenty of room to park his sleigh and stretch his legs lol

Lizx

Don't do anything too drastic to it until after next summer ... we can come and picnic there for the Kent meet!

Yeah!

Jill (in Whitstabubble)

Yes, Well that was the whole reason behind it. We can now rest easy knowing that they can play in the garden without having a building site next door.

I thought it was wonderful that your main consideration was the children......loved your animals too.

Will you be charging for people to visit your zoo? lol

:-) (I'll pay you later Lynda).

Yeah I saw S this afternoon, She said she'd watched it :-) She said it was quite heartwarming! lol

SRS,
Thankyou. I AM a genuinley lovely person :-) Lynda can vouch for that :-) LOL

Hello Pat, I watched your segment of the show and you came across as absolutely wonderful and such a genuinely lovely person :)

We have lots of ideas for it and we are thinking about a veggie plt. The main aim this year was to get it clear and reasonably flat. We can think of others things for next year!

As Joan said, Pat - it was nice to 'meet' you!

...........You could always get the children to dig a veggie plot, if ever they say they're bored................................

start off small - like a few carrots for the rabbits.......................

Thanks everyone for the comments. It wasn't as terrible as I had thought it might be :-)
I got really emotional watching some parts of it and I could feel/remember my nerves from the auction room!
Just to answer a couple of people, No I don't 'look' like your typical gypsy. I get told that all the time!
I thought my son was super when he said 'No more hard work'! lol
And Mac, :-) I'm not old enough to have 4 children - I only have 3! ;-) My nieces were here for the 'return' visit.

Yes Pat,I thought your son was billant when he said *no more hard work *
Mind you,I think you were all good
Well done

Hi Pat ,
very well done , but i think the star of the show
was your son,lol when the children were saying how hard they
had worked, then your son said no more hard work ..lolol
a lovely family Pat , i bet you are right proud of them ....
