He had such knowledge and passion for botany. It was like viewing my parents, in their garden. 🪴 RiP ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |

Author: Parboiled Date: Thu 24th Oct 2024. 08:55 Anyone else remember Riki Fulton and Gregor Fisher affectionate parody of Beechgrove in their Scotch and Wry show ..Jim and George portrayed getting a bit tiddly with wee nips from a bottle of whiskey hidden in the greenhouse. Nobody laughed as much as them when they saw it! Post Edited (Thu 24 Oct 09:16) Reply |

Author: PeachtreePar Date: Sun 27th Oct 2024. 14:25 Guy with the beard maybe Bill Torrance George Barron and Jim McColl the original presenters, Carole Baxter did a lot of the gardening in the background. Good that she got her chance to be a presenter. Met Jim McColl years ago at the Highland Show. My mother is from Buchan originally so loved this programme. Any chance to hear a bit of Doric Reply |
