Well, I agree with Sacha. What a work of art, and a "labour of love"

Top-posting-Mike, have you never seen the annual "well dressing"
pictures in Derbyshire?

I'm afraid I think that if anyone other than I had posted that it would have
elicited a different response, Pam. ;-)

I went with the local Civil Service Pensioners Alliance to Arundel to the
Festival of the Flowers and thought the same thing then. Have you seen the
minute detail? Flowers pulled off their stems? Small bits of evergreen
hedging for the background? I am not disputing the art, but would you be so
ecstatic if your children/neighbour's children had made a 'Work of art' on
your path with the heads of your flowers? In the words of a long since
vanished troll "I think not"

Kindest possible regards

Mike

It will last an entire Summer, think of the joy and gasps of pleasure
that this will bring to so many. Dear me Pam, I often wonder if some
people have a soul!!!! Perhaps we should all stop growing bedding
plants, "as they don't last"!!!!!

And you should never have cut flowers in your house (which would do a lot of
damage to the economies of various countries) nor should any country have
its flowers festivals, thus reducing tourism attractions. When the world is
a uniform grey perhaps 'some' people will be satisfied!

Agreed sweetie, you have told me that before. When I have time, maybe
next February, I will bite the bullet, sit down read the manual and
sort it. I used to be on Demon and Turnpike. I love Turnpike and I

Not a prayer. We will sling the suitcases together tomorrow and Thursday.
Both of us delay the dreaded moment always. We have to pack for two
climates right from the start, Hong Kong and Xian and in our case (ha!)
that's a real logistical nightmare. Our plan is to take a small bag that
will hold enough clothes for 3 days in colder Xian but to leave our major
luggage at the hotel in HK for collection on our way back. I hope.
