    Morning Brian, Valerie & Charlotte!

    the pleasure was all mine to be honest!

    Re gold; I know its a lovely colour [!] but I think I may have sacraficed this for a little pink somehow… We wanted this garden to be fun and fun for those who come to visit it. But as long as we had a good time getting there!!
    Who said gardening isn’t fun?!!

    Colin Browne in Irish video it seems also did something a little different!!!

    Amazing support!

    Aido [different aiden to the Segala aido by the way]

    As previously discussed… a more creative pink rather than a Gold. But as you can gather from the video and our Aerosmith homage its craccking good fun!!

    ‘Going for gold’ wasn’t that the game show with Henry Kelly…?

    really appreciated aido – thanks so much

    Going for Gold was a cracking song by Shed Seven back in the Britpop days…

    Great video, love the pink! Looks like a fun project with lots of hard graft put in on it. Well done!

    Hey Jack,

    more of a Blur man myself although shed seven… whatever happened to them…?

    thanks so much Jackie – a lot of serious hard graft by so many many people who I owe so much more to! But it will be a reat garden, when its finished! [ps thank you all again].

    Great to hear from you

    Hi Peter,
    the boat move was an interesting peice to shoot and enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing the finished garden.
    Good look with the festival and find a nice retirement home for the boat afterwards:)

    @Kathleen,
    never usually get too man compliments on my hair but thank you so much! to those of you who are not aware ’twas Kathleen & John of BDF who housed this massive boat for 6 months whilst restoration works and pink [!] painting took place.
    They also were the brains behind last years Morris… a little smaller i might add!

    Video’s great! Nice touch with the kitty looking on…a good foil in her laziness to all the muscling her royal pinkness into place. And what a handsome actor cast in the role of the master gardner!

    Hey Ann,

    haven’t heard from you for ages, did you throw your computer in the Liffey..?[a river of sorts in Dublin] and possibly a humourish comment if your Irish!

    Yup, more a canine rather than feline enthusiast myself but little kitty became somewhat of a paid extra in this one! Genius work all down to Irishvideo.com team[plug well deserved] credit where its due he’s a genius!

    Handsome…nice haircuts [kathleen Friel]…. [I hear a tribunal coming]…. master gardener! Thats two compliments, in writing?!!
