Hello and welcome to you all!

It's great to see another batch of adenium lovers joining in after what I thought was a rather quiet time on the forum...I hope you enjoy it here. Can't say a personal hello to you individually for fear of missing some out, but hope you all get the gist of my message!
I've not been here for a while myself due to other matters, but I hope to get back into the swing of things soon.

All very gorgeous with nice picture quality! Carding Mill is new for me also, but mine is even more of a baby than yours (having not produced a bloom yet)......I have high hopes for it, based on (I can't remember whose!) recommendation - and their pictures! California Dreamin' reminds me of Gemini or Diana, Princess of Wales. The Sunsation is very striking with the bright blooms and the lush, dark green foliage (lush, dark foliage gets me everytime!)

Indeed it is Lisa. We need some new regulars here. I remember a few years ago when this forum used to be more alive. You have a good outlook on things too! The nestings season will be here before you know it! My blues typically show back around in late February/ early March, but I've heard them around sooner too. Can't wait to kick off my 7th season with these guys! May 2013 be a successful season for all bluebirders! ~Tim~

Fantastic! If I don't go with white cabs that is exactly the color scheme and look I want. Come to CA and do mine! Absolutely beautiful. I love everything and your pendants are so different. Unless I missed it up thread, can you please provide a style # or name and the source for those and your drum lighting fixture? I'd love to see how those pendants look turned on. So cool. Also regarding your layout, can you provide more info? Sounds like you knocked out some walls to make one room, but I'm having difficulty visualizing what was where. Can you elaborate and were the walls removed load bearing? I ask because we have a similar situation. Kitchen with a nook to one side that's all windows and both seperated from the family room by a half wall at the sink and "behind" the kitchen a seperate small dining room we never use. I'd love a more open floorplan and great room effect like yours, but we have lots of structural issues and still trying to decide if it's doable. So I'm just trying to visualize your before and after layout. That info would be helpful if you're willing to share. Thanks! Again, outstanding kitchen!!

Some more "new" Miele T1415 dryer pics

Thanks Mama and Donna. OMG Donna, it does look like a dog. Ha ha ha! It is 2 big bath towels, 4 hand towels and 2 wash cloths. @ Whirlpool_trainee....I have not replaced my wonderfully big & fast American/Swedish/Mexican ;) Electrolux (or at least not yet....LOL). I just could not, not buy this brand new, old stock T1415 Miele dryer. I had to have it! So far I have dried big bath towels, a huge load of whites and a very large load of athletic clothes (I kept the loads the same size, as I would have in my Electrolux 8 cu. ft. dryer)....and the big bath towels only took maybe 5-7 mins. longer using the Miele. The whites maybe took 2-3 mins longer and the athletic clothing dried in roughly 27 mins (as fast, if not faster than the Electrolux). This "small" T1415 dryer is almost keeping up with the Electrolux! Of course the Elux has more settings, more temp. options and more end of load options...but the materials and apparent build quality on this Miele is insane good!!!

Hey Gill, it is good to see you back. I was beginning to wonder if you were ok. Hope your adeniums are doing well.

Yes, I agree it is nice to see so many people posting. I try to read every post and always wish there were more. It is such a friendly great group of people.

Hi guys, thanks for the messages. I'm fine personally, just been very busy at work, probs with mum in the nursing home, plus I turned 60 (groan) and was treated to a much needed break in Spain with the 3 'children'/spouses and grandson, yeah!!...the d/h tagged along too, haha! Just life in general got in the way of posting on here I guess.
Summer has been good so far, just had a 2nd week of cooler temps and showers, but it's set to get better again. My err, ' big 3' (now dwarfed by Brian's most generous gift of 2 much larger surplus plants) have survived another season as have my seedlings. Still have 2 from your seed Sharon and 16 from Rick :)) The nights are beginning to close in so I'll be checking in on a more regular basis I hope.
Regards, Gill UK.
