Congratulations dear Otto - and you didn't tell me the other day over the phone??? Or you didn't know at the time.
How we managed to keep it a secret from Otto for the past few months still amazes me!
Otto was most surprised when his name was announced - but I checked that Viv who was sitting next to him had her CPR skills up-to-date ;D
It was good to celebrate with him and the rest of the FCHS on sucha special day.
cheers

Post by: Lesley Cox on May 30, 2012, 01:17:44 PM: No there are NOT. Good gardeners yes, but you are special and we have all learned so much from you over the years, not only about plants but about life itself. No-one deserves it more because that's what the best gardeners do. They share and pass along their experience so it is not lost forever. Dear man, enjoy it and know you have every right to it. :-* :-* :-*
