Whats going on!!!

8 comments


No rain apart from a few very light drizzly spells. My new allotment is currently getting a good hosing when I go up there as it is just so dry and it’s not even summer.

I’m really busy with my new business venture, probably the best move I have ever made from an enjoyment perspective, but I obviously have winter months to contend with yet.

On the personal side, my wife is pregnant and we should be excpecting a new addition to the treesandthings family in mid November.

The first year of my foundation degree is almost over, looking forward to the summer holidays that are not to far away for a bit of me/ gardening time. Oh and painting a bedroom back to a nursery.

Chelsea flower show. I have managed to volunteer to help out the Alitex stand at the show for a couple of days, so if anyone is going on Thursday or Friday come and say hello.

Hampton court next. One of the ladies who is in her final year has had her design accepted and I am helping her construct the garden. It is called ‘Wild in the City’ designed by Charlotre Murrel and has a fantastic wildlife friendly log wall surrounding the garden along with a wildlife friendly pond and a host of fantastic plants for bees, butterflies and birds.

This pic below is my new van complete with logo.

I hope is enjoying the sun and hopefully see you at one of the two big shows this year.

Congratulations to you both on the family news ... I love the design you chose for your business ... it doesn't seem possible you're almost through the first year of your degree! Have a great time at Chelsea! I hope to visit Dd's open garden this Sunday ... along with Cinderella & Floribunda ... may see you there! . . . .

Golly, t&t, I feel worn out just reading your agenda! Lol.
I am so pleased to hear everything is going so swimmingly for you and your family and look forward to future blogs about how things develop (though how you are going to find the time to write them I can't imagine!).
