    Hello there my little workaholic - you have been busy while I've been away from GC. It all looks fabulous and you should be very proud and so should Mrs WOO as she has a very special person in her life (just as I have). BUT - typical - you go and do your back in just when you are about to pack your rucksack and head on over here to do my patio. Now I'll have to get Mr K primed up to do it. I wish you well soon.

    So, the reason for me popping in right now is to show you the lovely watering can. In case anyone doesn't remember, I cheekily asked if I could have an old watering can of WOO's which was shown in an early photo of the garden and, gentleman that he is, WOO promptly parcelled it up and sent it to me - and it wasn't cheap to send either !!!

    This is how it is looking..............

    I put in a minitures chrysanth (not very PC here in France but am I boverred?) a small cyclamen and another trailing plant with tiny pale lilic flowers which I think begins with P and is squashed between the other two but should trail outwards soon. The plants here are rubbish and it took time to find anything which wasn't half dead or verging on a weed.

    Thank you so much WOO for your lovely present and I will look after it forever. [​IMG] [​IMG]
