      Thanks guys, it's been a great experience and it was a bit of fun tonight, the two main presenters, Alex and Matt, were lovely and put us all at ease. Matt even called me "Good lad" so I'm well chuffed about that :) and Alex loved my glade, what more can I say:wub2:

      My son and daughter were standing right behind me during the announcement, just watched it again on iplayer to see their reactions :blue thumb: which was quite funny. At one point the crew and presenters all went outside for the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang piece so we decided to take over the sofa:

      I'm looking forward to Hampton Court Show now, us losers have been promised tikcets for the Press day so I can see the winning garden without the crowds.

        It looks like you made yourself at home John. :) Enjoy yourself at Hampton Court and could you bring us back pictures for the garden please, I think we all want to see what it's like.

                I thought the others were all about hard landscaping, the winner will look quite bland with just 1 colour. :cry3:

                              I managed to miss this thread until late last night, so I missed the show. Thank goodness for iplayer:blue thumb: I watched it in the early hours, and I have to say you looked quite nervous, but fair play to you, I couldn't have done it! Anyway, it just confirms what we all know, you're a :star:
                              Well done John:dbgrtmb:
