Well, the Gardens of Eaton opened at 10:00 on Saturday 15th of June. At 10:05 we had our first thunderclap and the hailstorm started at 10:10. Things could have started better and it looked as if everybody would stay at home but just as the prevailing mood was darkening the skies lightened and the visitors came out in numbers. HQ was suddenly full of horticulturalists sporting guide sheets and asking searching questions of the under gardener. He deferred to higher powers and set about making cups of tea. The whole thing went off very well and lots of money was raised for the windows in Christ church Eaton.
