Silver Gilt....

Well, it's been a year in the planning, months of growing plants and a very hard week of putting it together. But this morning as I filled the little Belfast sink pond, the garden was finally finished. All that was needed now was for it to be judged.

We had two visits from Diamuid Gavin and his judging team and when it all came out of the wash we got a Silver Gilt! I am delighted and Diamuid Gavin is every bit as nice and genuine as he comes across on TV, I have to say. For those not in the know about garden awards, silver gilt is just below gold.
