Meeting Monty Don & Chris Beardshaw

5/5/2012

0 Comments

 
A few years ago we went to the Hay Literary Festival in May to hear a number of speakers including childrens' authors and and Monty Don. The biggest arena at the Festival was packed to the gunnels to hear him. With a mainly female audience hanging on to his every breath did he talk about gardening? No, but he did give a very sincere tallk about his fight over the years with depression which was very revealing. I didn't mind what he talked about - it was just lovely to hear his gravelly voice. Swoon.

Talking of handsome gardeners a few years ago I bumped into Chris Beardshaw at the Malvern Spring Gardening Show. I had to go out of my way a little to pull this off but just about managed it. Nonchalant, moi? In Chris' case I was surprised in real life how small he was but being small myself I wasn't complaining: like a minature daffodil he was small but perfectly formed.

Our British weather is a scream; one minute you're rummaging for suncream and sunhats, the next you're rooting out long johns and rushing straight back indoors. I can't imagine how nature copes, but it does. We seem to lurch from one extreme to the other. If the weather gradually improved like it used to we would all slowly accclimatise but this week, surprise, surprise, there wasn't only a sudden change but we actually went backwards.

Today I picked the last two daffodils in bud for indoors as they are just starting to go over. Fortunately there is always a new spectacle to see: our red tulips are perfect right now, the wisteria is starting to drip it's purple glory, and the avenue of acers are on the brink of  bursting into a magenta splash. Camelia buds are bursting forth and even last autumn's rose cuttings are  promising displays of new roses for summer. Don't you just love Spring?

Here at Four Seasons the first snowdrops are just coming out. Our pretty yellow aconites are also in full bloom beneath the mature rowan tree in our front garden. The first green shoots of the daffodils are starting to appear on the lawn, a cheery reminder that Spring is not far away though I suspect we will have snowfall first. Traditionally Worcester is mild in the winter with only a little snow but last year we had unusually cold weather with heavy snow.
