NOTES
1) The garden party seemed to go okay, I got loads of compliments from the guests and the boss and family about how nice the gardens looked so that made all the weeks of hard work worthwhile and even more so because it was achieved without any help from the weather. Now I have to find another reason to motivate me.
COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING
Jeanette There was no tidying up for me, it seems everything was cleared away. I did take my camera with me and I will post the pics on my hiking blog in due course, I will let you know on this blog when I have posted the pictures.
