to do some presenting as they think I’m<br />
half decent”. He said “Are you sure that’s<br />
what you want to do?”. And I said “I don’t<br />
know but I’ll give it a go!”. And here we<br />
are now.<br />
before to explain if anything has changed<br />
or there have been any adjustments<br />
to the design. They then arrive at your<br />
garden anytime between 7:30 <strong>and</strong><br />

WHEN DID YOU REALISE THAT<br />
YOU HAD AN APTITUDE FOR<br />
PRESENTING?<br />

we get to <strong>Sep</strong>tember the kids go back to<br />

garden anymore you have to react to the<br />
month you are in. <strong>Sep</strong>tember, <strong>Oct</strong>ober<br />

still have some cracking days <strong>and</strong> only<br />
have our first frosts going into December<br />
so I would say to anybody there is so<br />
much glorious flower colour foliage<br />
colour stem colour to be had <strong>and</strong> the light<br />
is different so the atmosphere is different<br />
you can still wrap up <strong>and</strong> enjoy it just<br />
don’t disengage. Don’t chase perfection<br />
just enjoy the moments.<br />
