I want you to meet.....

Biel, Switzerland(Zone 7a)

two very nice people,Tonny and Lene.I had the chance to go back to Denmark a few weeks ago,and was welcomed into their home and hearts.My Brug friend from Germany,Ingrid,came as well and we brought them a basket of plants and left with bags and bags of cuttings!!!
Tonny is one of the kindest persons that I have ever met(great cook,too) and I must say Lene is one lucky lady to have him.Here they are in the winter garden

It looks like a dream kinda place for me too. I'm so glad he got his winterhouse all finished up. I remember last year at this time he was working franticly to get it done. Thanks for posting the pics. I've enjoyed looking at them.

Angleton, TX(Zone 9a)

Thanks Gwist for the wonderful pictures. I know you had a great time visiting Tonny and Lene. It looks like a dream vacation to me and I love the quaintness of their home and all the lovely brugs everywhere. Tonny is a very giving person and I know you went home with lots of cuttings. Can't wait to see some of those new baby brugs next year.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Wow what a great place. I bet he is great fun to visit. I miss Tonny's fun posts! So tell the truth Gwist, does Lene have to glue Tonny's shoes to the floor to keep him well grounded? LOL

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

Apparently, you four had a good time together and were able to exchange ideas and experiences.

Biel, Switzerland(Zone 7a)

Brugnanny,I didn't realise how many until I started potting them up,lol.
Kell,that question I can't answer,but he does seem to be well-rooted to his area(sorry bad pun).
Monika,lots to talk about,but I think Ingrid felt a bit left out at times because we spoke mostly English.Oops,almost forgot a picture of her!She has some great Brugs,as well,so one can imagine what we mostly spoke about :-).
