Hi - a lot of familiar names over here - so nice to see you all again! It's been a while.
To those of you I haven't met before, I'm Rannveig and I live in Iceland. I'd grow all the roses in the world (and lots of other plants as well) if I could, but climate, space and finance are a bit of a constraint .....
I'm the mother of two wonderful girls, about to be divorced and could possibly loose my garden in the process. It's a horrible thought and I'll do everything in my power to keep that from happening ...... but realistically I'd probably need to win the lottery to pull it off ..... I've been a stay-at-home mom for 9 years due to health reasons, but now I'm forced to try to find some means of an income greater than the disability benefits, so far with no luck ..... our economy is in the freezer, unemployment is high (by our standards) and our currency is in the dumpster so everything is horribly expensive right now. I was too depressed last fall to wrap up my roses for the winter (my husband/soon to be ex left me in October) so I'm a bit anxious to see how they've fared this winter. Fortunately it was a mild one, I'm hoping there won't be any disasterous late freezes yet to come ....
Anyway - that's about it - good to see you all again!
Rann
