Oh dear, Sacha. More like an astonishing waste of time than a labour of

How long will the flowers last? Next to no time. Would have been much better left where they were are the artistic handiwork of those concerned put some more permanent project with a few pots of paint for example. Mike |

Pam in Bristol 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 |

Sory Mike, I think it is a labour of love, for just a second think of the work on creating the pattern, probably from an ancient Eastern one by the looks of it. It faithfully reproduces the colours, no mean feat and texture of the real thing. I have a couple of antique rugs/ carpets, and I can see just how much work went into the detail on this design. I love it and I think it is a masterpiece, not just of the designers but those who grew and raised the plants. Judith |

Are you packed? Judith 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. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |
