I always find it fascinating to understand people’s reactions to Chelsea. To understand which gardens won the various medals and awards, which were talked about most and who liked what. I like to see where I fit within these views and to also look for any evolution over the years. I suppose it’s an ongoing ..read more

Most people I know had been dreading the day coming. We weren’t ‘surprised’ at how sad we felt, more confused by the realisation of how much love we felt for someone we had never met. We were also a little worried about what it might bring next. Would support for the monarchy wane?  I think ..read more

Summer 22: In the garden

It’s been a summer of two halves.  Looking back, it’s hard to believe June was only two months ago. The garden is barely recognisable as the same place, let alone the same season. Everything, back then, was so green, so lush, so fresh and perky. We’d not had a particularly wet spring, but it had ..read more

I sometimes wonder if I left my heart in Australia when I moved back to the UK. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country of birth and wouldn’t want to leave it for now. But, (incredibly) some six and a half years on, Australia is still present, still there, still with me deep inside ..read more

Well, it all got a bit interesting when the awards were handed out at Chelsea this year. Golds were given to Sarah Eberle, Chris Beardshaw, Ruth Wilmott, Andy Sturgeon, Joe Perkins, Lulu Urquhart and Adam Hunt – which all seemed about right – but Best in Show went to the last of these two designers ..read more

It’s back. It’s back. Oh, what a wonderful thing! After two empty, Chelsea-less Mays in a row, at 7am on the dot this morning, I was there on the Embankment, patiently, and oh so excitedly, awaiting my turn to collect my pass. A voice said, ‘excuse me please’, as I turned to see Monty Don ..read more

Those of us old enough to have watched Open All Hours will remember Ronnie Barker’s catchphrase, “it’s been a funny old day”. And every time I sit down to write my blog, I can hear him speaking those words, a picture of him outside his shop in his sandy overalls popping into my head. Somehow ..read more

I think that’s what you call the nick of time. The last card posted (next door), the last present wrapped and dinner is in the oven. Phew! Never has Christmas Eve arrived quite so quickly. And not without a few false starts (and the odd cough), but here we are: Mum, Dad, Paul and I ..read more

November 2021: In the garden

I’ve had to have a rethink.  When we initially moved back to the UK, November hit me like a ton of bricks. A good British summer really is idyllic, but along came November and I wanted out.  I’d thought I’d got back into the swing of a new country; that I was settled again and ..read more

As the first rays of sunlight peeped over the horizon and the darkness started to ease, I noticed the silhouette of two small ears outlined against the white garage doors. Looking out from the warmth of my chair by the kitchen window, I strained to see who was attached to these two most prominent ears ..read more
