Make no mistake, opening your garden is hard work. Just weeding and planting is hard enough but then there are a multitude of other jobs that need to be done. We have 250 scones in the freezer waiting to become cream teas, there is an art exhibition to be put up, lunches to be prepared, advertising to be done, garden chairs and tables to be put up etc etc etc. Then just when you think you have got there a storm called Hector tries to rearrange the garden!
Anyway just a couple of hours to go before the first visitors start to arrive so I am posting some of views in the garden (in case you cannot get here!). I will do a more detailed walk around when I have a spare minute.
We do enlist friends to help and Chris pointed out that the tree looks like a chicken!
And now for the rest of the garden

How I would love to stop for a cream tea after strolling through Glebe House garden and communing with the Chicken Tree. It looks perfectly ready for tourists. No one will be disappointed. By all means take some time off. You deserve it.

The chicken looks like a duck.
I wish I could remember the numbers for the Open House events at the farm. For a facility that was not designed as a public venue, it was a huge number of guests.
