RE: Gardening.....
Well, Tan got her Higher National Certificate in Garden Design the other day, and received today the award of Student of the Year - Yahoo!! She is already an award winning garden designer!!

The kids are feeling the pressure now though, as I was engineering student of the year back in 1981, so that makes both parents students of the year.......what a bunch of swots we are.....

She looked at me and rolled those big brown eyes and said, "Oh, I would do it all for you, `cos you`re a Rocker"

Cheers RN - To say she is over the moon is an understatement - but she worked very hard for this, and is already winning lots of work.

Hi SM, no Tan is my wife. I lifelong lover of gardening who decided 2 years ago to get a formal qualification in her favourite subject.

Now my eldest daugher, Belle, has her GCSE O Levels next year, the first big set of exams for people over here...Followed by A levels (if she does them) then three years degree (at £9K a year) - followed by youngest Livi 20 months behind - so we will have stress of exams etc for a few years now...Followed by stress of me wanting to retire.

Given how well-done even the most amateur gardens in the UK seem to be - that is quite an accomplishment! Congrats to Tan!

RE: Gardening.....
Cheers for all the nice comments. She is still basking in the afterglow of it all - but she did help me pot -on my chilis and peppers earlier today, and watered my onions the other day too.

Yes I think Brits do like their gardens, nice lawns, roses, herb patches and veg.....
