Today we received a small package in the post, I knew what it was because Floribunda had told me she was sending us a DVD of our garden……(Flori and her husband came all the way from Wiltshire to be with us on our first open day) bringing Cinderella too….
What was amazing was the work that had gone in to producing these two DVDs (one a slideshow and the other photos) beautiful music with bird song all through the film, every shot lovingly put together, exquisitely photographed, and so professional…..all in all, a treasure for us and our family to keep forever.
Thank you so much …………so kind of you both to put together these amazing DVDs….

So pleased for you DD. I have been promised one of my garden too, and I know it was ready to post, but I haven't got it yet. How exciting, and how kind of Flori and Andy.

VERY NICE OF HER. Dottydaisy2 if the DVD is not private and personal and you want to share it with us, I suggest one of the following. 1) Make copies and send to those interested to watch it and the money collected to go for a good charity. 2) Get someone in the family or a friend to put it on You tube, if you can not do it yourself and 3) You may send me a copy to put it for a while on my hobby/gardening website as many G.O.Y members visit it occasionally.

Ladies and young men, thank you for all your comments, I could put it on youtube as I am signed up to do so....Cris I am the whizz kid in our family lol
it is very long, must be over an hour to say the least, and whereas this is special and personal to us, not everyone wants to sit and watch for that long I am sure.
Cinders I am sure you will be delighted when you receive yours.....keep us posted.

How lovely for you to have such a wonderful memento of your very first Open Day, Dotty! It's truly unique and I can just imagine how thrilled you must be. Well done to Flori for producing them for you. : o ))

hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoy the ones she sent me ............... shes so talented !!

I am blushing scarlet here at all this praise! \0/ I am so delighted that you enjoyed it Dd, all I did was take the photos, the OH and our computer did the rest. If it hadn't have been for your incredible garden, this could not have succeeded the way that it did. My OH was so pleased when I showed him your message...It is a pleasure to do little things for others, when they are so genuine and so warm as you were when we came over with Cinders...Cinders received hers today too, as I have just replied to her PM about it, so I hope that she gets as much pleasure out of that as you and your lovely OH have. Bless you for this acknowledgement, Dd...I am really deeply touched by it, and for all the lovely comments off of so many good friends on here...\0/xxx

Crissue and Patricia I dont think it will be going on youtube, not keen on the whole world looking at our garden, you cannot be too careful these days........

Flori did one for me, as well, Dd - so I know just how you feel. Wonderful to keep, isn't it - and so thoughtful of Flori and her OH. :-)))
10 Jul, 2011
Actually DD...you're right, we're just getting excited...as usual lol...got to keep safe..

Spritz it was so kind of them.......Criss unfortunately we live in a very unstable world......

What a wonderful gift to commemorate you first open day! When Flori first joined GOY, I was very taken with her clematis and asked her which book would be best for me to buy as I had long ago lost mine (I think that's how it happened) and she gave me some names. Next thing I knew she had sent me a brilliant clematis book by Marigold Badcock which has lovely pics too. Flori and her OH must be among the most generous, kind people we could meet, but don't forget Raff, I think he has a paw in it too:-))

From the little I know of Flori, I am not a bit surprised she would do something as lovely and thoughtful she is such a nice lady, and after our experience of your warm and friendly welcome, you certainly deserve it DD. tho Im sure you were gobsmacked!! Nice people deserve nice people.
