    Looks like she’s moved on from the houseboat

    Thanks @Dovefromabove, worth seeing her again!

    Good for her. She is making a success of her life twice over. 

    I thought she came out with a smattering of pretentious twaddle last night but some people like that sort of thing. Have you ever listened to Front Row on Radio 4?

    Hardly ever miss it @BenCotto ... some pretentious twaddle ‘tis true, but having stood in front of an audience and spoken about art on many occasions, it’s not easy to describe visual and theoretical ideas simply ... when using words, and say something in a new way each time. That is, after all, why visual art is so important. However I like to think I managed it most of the time. 😉

    I found last night's edition rather boring, especially the repeats of viewers videos I'm afraid. Last week's was rather better.

    I definitely found myself fast forwarding through more this week than last week. The houseboat was interesting but too long whereas Adam's but was far too short but then again, his is very early days, it's not like they had a great deal to show.

    Perhaps this is why they used to have half hour shows at this time of year, they didn't want to fill it with unnecessary padding 🤷🏽‍♂️
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

    There is so much going on in the garden at this time of year and so much to plan and prepare for that there is no excuse for repeating videos unless they were exceptional.  The house boat wasn't.

    I'd be very happy never to see another "jungle" garden feature again.

    I'm a new gardener @Obelixx so I didn't want to presume but even I though that spring is supposed to be the busiest time for the gardener. You'd think they'd have plenty to show.

    Enjoyed the show, as I always do. But I wish they'd stop repeating last year's viewer videos. I've watched last year's series three times over by now and don't want to see the same stuff again.
