giving berth to pour l’amour de jeux – bloom 2008 [8]
...
This morning at 5.45 am after 11 long hours labour, Pour L’amour de Jeux finally gave berth to a 7 tonne, 11 metre long Pink Boat in the Phoenix Park Dublin.
With amazing help from John Farrell, John Friel, Whittens Road Haulage, The Garda Suíochana, Maura Hickey, Colin Browne and Gráinne Walker; this journey was finally made possible. If I have left anybody out it is because none of us have slept since finishing loading at 12.30am and arriving back to depart at 3.30am!! But it must be known the real journey started a long time ago.

…and so what started as a child like dream has been given berth and here another story begins. Today, some laughed, some smiled and some pondered; But whatever this story [ultimately the garden], brings to you, it was built only pour l’amour de jeux [for a love of the game] and no matter the size of your smile when you see it complete – this amazing journey if nothing else, has left me in no doubt regarding the amazing people and the genius minds I work and spend so much time with. Thank you all [it's not over just yet], but it’s certainly a little easier….

Great work it looks fantastic. Cant wait to see the end result. How is all that going?
C’est Magnifique!! Bon Chance.
@aido
all going according to plan. show gardening is very very different and perfection from our brief and design to the final result can only be perfection… no pressure! but we’re doing good. all i need now is that it rains [at night time only] and sunshine every day…?!!
