    I'm on the list for a dandelion. It's a long list. Robin Wight makes them in his spare time. I think he should give up the day job because they are brilliant. The dandelion clocks shimmer in the breeze. Because they are stainless steel wire, they really pop in the sunshine.

    Oh Fidget you are lucky! I never even got to that stage. He just sent me a nice email saying he wasn't taking on any more work just nowimage

    Thank you Susan. I asked some one about her at the garden, they said she rarely appears now as she's getting very frail.

    Lovely pics Lizzie.  I remember that Catherine Walkden met Beth Chatto when she filmed Gardens from Above and they said then that she rarely gives interviews or appears in public now so it was a generous gesture she made thenimage.  What an inspirational lady.

    Bet you've got more picsimage
