| Very clever, didn't know you could do that but then again I don't know how to post photos and have only recently worked out how to do the quote thing.

| I've just written that in my diary, but as the ink dried I realised who Carol Klein is and that's put me right off the show - she's the worst part of gardeners world - not sure I could sit and listen to her annoying voice for longer that 5 minutes.

| Oh no, not again. Look back Eskymo and you'll find a long thread about Gardeners World presenters. Personally I'm fine with Carol but have a big problem with Sarah Raven but don't mention her to Nick...............

| Thanks Mrs D., I had read that the show was due out but didn't know when. Eskymo- Carol is lovely with her mad hair & cheery smile & new hips (according to a lady from Robinsons Mammoth onions who I was speaking to this year!), I just hope it's better than the series she did on 'Open Gardens' which I didn't really enjoy.

| Alison & Mrs D Setting reminders on the calendar is something everyone can do. As for this new TV show on veg, whilst I am glad that it is CK that will be presenting it and not Sarah "The Coat" Raven, I can understand what Eskymo means about her voice, but with her practical nature, and enthusiasm for gardening in general, I feel I can forgive her that one small irritation !!

| I've got a feeling that I can select mute on my TV and select subtitles instead - must look into this feature. I think it'll be worth watching though despite the presenter - It's got to be better than that programme the 'big dig' or whatever it was called - that was terrible.
