all about mary
This was in June during Bloom 2008 with my garden Pour L’amour de Jeux. On the official opening day The President, her husband Dr Martin and entourage came by and stopped at my garden for a chat.
What should you do when you meet the President of Ireland Mary Mc Aleese & Dr Martin?
First, make sure at all times that you prevent yourself from appearing [ish] in any photographs….?!
UPDATE: Of course I eventually did get one really good photograph with President McAleese
Caption for the first pic: ‘No no. This is how you throw a Shot Put
she actually asked how did i get the boat in and…. where did the inspiration for this garden come from….
i must have replied ‘well Mary, first let me show you how they throw steel balls around a green field as a profession…. ‘?!!

ps – funny git!! i wonder if anyone can beat that??
It could work… and Martin looks pretty interested you could throw doubles.
And if I remove this section of my face, you can actually see that I am the Geraniuminator, come back from the future to exterminate all garden disasters
Ok, it’s Friday and I’ve been up since 5am – that’s my excuse …

[...] most know, when President Mary stopped by my Garden in Bloom – the photography wasn’t the greatest. It turns out some amazing professional photographers were there. I eventually got contact details [...]
