It took me a long time to get used to Monty's depression conversations and musings which so coloured his early days. It distracted from his gardening. Having said that though he was very human. I hope he has a full recovery and cheers up. Time for a female lead. Carol Klein if she has stopped being so daft and earth motherly.
Wow, so many people giving their best wishes! I feel any comment I make will pale into insignificance! ;-) Anyway, I would truly like to wish Monty all the best and to reiterate the fact that he will be sorely missed, not just by the Gardeners' World crew and viewers but by anyone who has watched any of his other wonderful and inspirational programmes. Good luck, Monty!
Dear Monty, We in the Wright household send our very best wishes to you for a speedy recovery.Gardeners World is a real event in our house. I always try to have a nice glass of red wine and the children listen to you and try to keep quiet while GW is on. Hope you feel tip top soon.
So you have decided to hang up your GW wellies Monty and leave us mere mortals to fend for ourselves,in our gardens and on our allotments,well you are going to be a hard act to follow and we all will miss you on a friday night,but wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see your return soon.
Oh Monty, we are all going to miss you. I remember you on Richard and Judy!!! Take Care and a huge thank you for the gardening knowledge you have passed on to us all. I love the way you always have the earth on your hands and the plants and environment always come first with you. Who on earth can follow you. Maybe it should be a team effort as it has been over the past weeks, with each member taking a turn at leading the programme.
What a tough decision to take time out to get better. It can't have been easy. I will certainly miss you on Fridays however I am in awe of the integrity and total commitment to any Monty endeavour - your family must be very proud of you. You continue to give inspiration not just with gardening but with life - being able to pick yourself up and start again no matter what the problem. I wish you a speedy recovery. Best wishes.
so sad to hear about monty's ill health.i wish you good health monty,and i hope who ever takes over the reins is only a caretaker,waiting for you to come back,fully recovered.
