Welcome to my ‘plot’…my name is Marjorie but I am known to my family as Margie and then again to friends as Maggie. I prefer the latter because having a name like Marjorie means there are too many variations, and so I settle for this. We have lived in Lincolnshire for the past nine years and I would not choose to live anywhere else now. Our town was an important part of the rural community as far back as Edwardian times, when, the then new, railway station was used for the distribution of local produce (mainly vegetables) to all parts of the British Isles. There were many houses built during this time and though ours is a ‘new house’ it was built to an Edwardian design. Our High Street still retains its Edwardian character and is a delightful market town typical of the area.

I grew up in Leicester, an industrial city, but left when I was eighteen years old to serve in the Women’s Royal Air force as a Fighter Plotter - a job I really enjoyed. During this time I met people from all over the country and have remained friends with a few of them since. It was great when I found another couple of friends from that time whilst searching the Internet and though they live in Canada we e-mail each other most days. My husband and I both enjoy time spent on our computer and I am at present learning how to use P.S.P.
I like also to make Stationery pieces with ‘Scrippy’. My other hobby is gardening hence the name of this website…so do enter and let me show you a little of how I, a seventy-something Grandmother of two, enjoys life.
