That’s what 100% of visitors who expressed an opinion today thought too! It had an incredible reception. We had 3 (separate) people with tears in their eyes. I thought it was beautiful and clever and I was extraordinarily proud to be associated with it. Been on my feet for 12 hours (minus 2 teabreaks), nearly got drowned by rainstorms 3 times, have been up since 4am and am now sitting waiting for my train home. Will sleep very well tonight. And in case that all sounds like a moan, I should add that I had the best day ever 😀😀😀
It was a beautiful garden but I thought last night that it wouldn't get gold because it was a proper garden and they aren't appreciated now. When that awful exhibit won best in show I switched off in disgust and probably won't bother watching anymore.
Hopefully @chicky is now sleeping the sleep of the righteous after such a long and exciting day. I've had a terrible end to my day. I have been creating jpegs to put on social media about the forthcoming Jubilee celebrations here. Unbeknown to me, someone else, not on the committee and attached to the local district council has also created jpegs to do the same thing. When she saw a post I did today she sent an email confused as to why I was doing it and not just her. I got an email from someone on the committee saying - please use hers if I post anything as although mine are lovely, they are not professional like hers. The first time I saw hers were in the email from the committee member. I don't know why this person had copies of them, she is not a town councillor who I assume had been sent these. And they are truly awful - Party at the Castle contains a cartoon image of a Disney castle! I was fuming as to why, having passed round samples of my intended posts at a previous committee meeting and everyone liking them, this particular committee member felt she had the authority to tell me to use these other ones. I replied to the whole committee and embedded each of the posts I had created and said that if everyone preferred I would bow out of posting anything on FB or Instagram and let this other person do it. I have had zero response from anyone.
Sadly there’s no tennis today 😢 … the owners of the hall we use have discovered that we’re not covered by their insurance and are concerned that they’d be liable should any of us have a mishap. The situation is being investigated …

Oh dear @didyw it sounds as though the Council and the committee have got their wires crossed yet again! Maybe you need a communications officer. Who is actually in charge of events in your village?
We are out to lunch again, not a pub this time, we are invited to lunch with friends.

Have to say I loved the rewilding one, although my favourite was Andy Sturgeon's, but again you could argue it wasn't really a garden.

Looks as though all those red lentils and chick peas are doing a good job. 😁 Lucky I love them. Not bad for almost 82!
