Sunday, May 14, 2006. Chelsea Flower Show 2006 - an impression "from the coalface". The lead up to Chelsea Flower Show involves a huge amount of preparation, and things really start to come into focus when the model is "unveiled" to the media. This year, that happened on 26th April. After the phytosanitary inspection, the boxes were loaded into a container, which was flown to London, to be delivered to the Showgrounds at the Royal Hospital in London, on the Thames Embankment, about 24 hours later.

Sunday, June 24, 2007. The Great USA Adventure June / July 2007. A chilly Cape Town winter's morning saw our departure on Saturday, 16th June. Bye-bye, Table Mountain,. This was a different view of Milner Peak Ridge, where we had climbed with Andi at the end of October 2006. And there was still a smidgin of snow on the Matroosberg.
