Moon gate

You get a lot of old rubbish through Twitter these days. My thanks, however, go to James Stodman who posted this picture of a Japanese Moon Gate on Twitpics. I wish my garden had one...

Cold snaps

For those of you that have been driven indoors by the appalling weather, see what others are up to or how they are coping with the awful conditions:

RHS advice on wintry conditions

Some nice pictures

Back to basics for TV show

It would seem that some programme makers at the BBC are feeling the bite of winter's cold blast after the current version of Gardeners' World was consigned to the waste bin.

I'm not sorry to see it go - I along with many others felt it lightweight and not in keeping with the traditions of the show.

I did find it a bit rich that past presenters jumped on the bandwagon to condemn it and mystifying that Toby Buckland and crew have been kept on.

I say new year, new show, new people!
