Another day of the show and more Australian's visited the garden.

It really is fantastic to see so many Aussies making the trip to see our garden at the show.

It’s time to pull the garden down and we woke up to rain this morning!

Yesterday was wet and cold, so the photographer left the camera in the case!

Today the weather was much better so the camera is out again!

While everyone else is loading containers Titch takes a day off and visits Windsor Castle.

 

This would be a lovely garden to plant the Brachychiton in.

Only one container left to be loaded today, but we had a lot of ‘stuff’ that we needed to fit into it!

 

Some stone is already in and the wall panels are on the way.

To celebrate Ian’s birthday Paul and Ian decided to clean up the last few things on site, before going toy shopping.

 

What more could you want for your birthday than to be driving a big toy and have the tree balanced first go?
