I have been off for a while only to find upon returning that you are retiring ;-)
You will without doubt get a busier life than before.
Enjoy it Stephen.

Best wishes on your retirement Stephen although you do not stirke me as someone who is going to take things easy but more time for holidaying in the highlands perhaps - bottle of chianti beside a hillside burn!!!

Dear Stephen,Thank you so much for your very prompt reply. I have been looking on the internet but I wanted that kind of triangular shape rather than bowl shape, however, I'll keep looking or go for bowls!!. This website is a very interesting discovery - it's really fun. I am still exploring various aspects of it - with thanks Frances

Hi Stephen
I am a garden designer in Leeds and I saw a picture of a wide shallow water bowl with stones and small fountain on the SGD leaflet with your name next to it. I am looking for that very sort of thing for a client and wondered if you might share with me where they are from?
I also saw from your website or gardening forum pages that you might be doing CPD. I am currently hoping to become registered with the SGD however could probably do with some help with construction and specs. Is this something you might be able to help with? Thanks a lot Frances Hainsworth. I do have a website - www.gardendesignerleeds.co.uk

Hi Stephen, thanks for inviting me to be your friend and forn your very kind comments about my designs. Funny you should say about registered membership of SGD. I will soon be sending off my cheque and form for an Open Forum hopefully in Oct/Nov this year. The leader of our Cheshire cluster group is getting 8 candidates together so that we will hopefully have the Forum up here in Manchester. She now has six of us and is working on two others. I decided to make a commitment and go for it so that it will focus my mind on getting everything together. However although I thought I might be quieter this year at the moment I'm pretty busy - I'll just have to discipline myself! Anyway back to the drawing board as they say and nice to have a friend of your stature.

Hi Stephen.
If you edit your group, there should be a photos tab. But you don't get much space - 0.1MB!
