Indeed, we can only imagine what articles may be contained within its pages........hot shot horticulture.....red hot perennials which bring fire power to the borders....or, perhaps, how to solve a rabbit problem......permanently?!<br /><br />Whatever, we too like Blue Booby's shoot from the hip style. Amusing, self deprecating yet also informative. Blogland needs writers such as you and her to give a cutting edge.......or should that be point and shoot?!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-48162476048327634092014-08-01T13:00:38.219+01:002014-08-01T13:00:38.219+01:00Lived in the tropics for two years - Colombo, long...Lived in the tropics for two years - Colombo, long long time ago. Had all sorts of beautiful tropical things that grew like weeds in our garden. Wasn't boring - so many things always going on and such interesting people, as long as you didn't get them started on cricket. Sadly not long after we left the civil war began. <br />But I don't think that's the kind of tropics you mean. You would have had plenty of things to complain about though: power cuts, water cuts, phones that wouldn't work after rain and it rained nearly every day during the monsoon, cockroaches the size of mice, mosquito plagues, snakes and rats in the ceilings, leaking roofs with buckets strategically positioned all over the top floor, dengue fever, dysentery, many many things. Yet we really enjoyed our posting and cried when we left.

The name for the magazine came from Garden & Gun’s first editor in chief, John Wilson, who suggested the title after dining at Hank’s Restaurant in Charleston and learning that it used to be a gay bar called the Garden and Gun Club. Both gay and straight came to dance the night away on the weekends. So the name almost gets a humourous twist with that history.<br />Love your blog and yes, I'm one of those newer silent readers!Marianne Sandersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-88070074119770834272014-08-01T03:56:57.959+01:002014-08-01T03:56:57.959+01:00Garden and Gun.

I'm just a city girl who loves visiting the countryside but doesn't want to kill off everything that moves that isn't a dog, sheep, cow or horse.<br />Maybe the mag is fun and attractive, but the basic premise is anathema to me. If it's the prize, would still be curious to see it but can't imagine ever subscribing.<br />Perhaps we'd find a housekeeper/ estate manager for our historic pile in the country - if only we had one. Perhaps a villa on Lake Como, or near the sea in Beaulieu-sur-Mer or in the countryside near St Remy? <br /><br />So generous that you're having a giveaway - and fun too to imagine what it might be. You must get lots of unusual mags!
