Did anyone else Gardeners World on Friday?
They had a special with Month Don (my hero!) about the Palace gardens. I'd
never realised they were so extensive !!
Good old Beeb - another excellent program

Sadlt, we missed it and have been told how good it was. If anyone happens
to have a tape of it that they'd lend us I'd be so grateful.


It was presented by Monty Don, why don't they find more like him?
Knowledgeable, comprehensible, and not auditioning for a personality
transplant via my right boot.

It was an interesting programme but I found the gardens themselves
rather chilling and soul-less. There was no sense of person or passion
which had brought them about; no spark.

Dare I say that perhaps the gardens reflect the Queens personality ?

It's 'the office' and where they do the equivalent of corporate entertaining
- hardly a personal space, I suppose.
