Last night poor ole Frannie was struck down by a colon attack - I guess that the afternoon at the Chelsea Flower Show was just too much, so she has spend most of today in bed and sleeping most of the time. It has given me a chance to try and sort out connection issues with my iPad, but I guess that iPad was never designed to upload photo's to the internet. However, I haven't yet given up!!

The photo used for this blog is my photo of the South African display at the CFS - I think you will agree with me that it looks really great and something that we can all feel proud about. I have uploaded some other photo's to the site album which you may like to browse. I have taken the opportunity whilse Frannie is recovering to walk to Kensington to find a web cafe, and this is what I am currently using.

London is quite festive, despite some rather cloudy and cold weather, as there is an European soccer final being played between Manchester United and Barcelona (I think...) tonight, and there are many Spaniards living it up in full regalia on the streets.
