WEEK 3 – OCTOBER 2008


It never ceases to amaze me how many beautiful gardens there are around England. With so much rain and without the harshness of the heat, everything just flourishes. I am lucky enough to live just two minutes from Kew Gardens too and the magnificence all year around is a joy to behold. This week is dedicated to garden lovers and to my darling Mum who lovingly spent so much time devoted to her glorious garden. I have been so blessed to grow up in a home that was always filled with delightful scents and beautiful flowers freshly picked from our garden.

The rewards are immeasurable.
